Concept over practicality.

Red Sophia:  Enough talk, you short grey celibate!  What do you think of...these!
Cerebus the Aardvark:  They'd probably heal if you stopped wearing that chain mail bikini.

I realize that comic book characters have to maintain consistent costumes for branding reasons, but honestly, if there's snow on the ground and it's cold enough to see your breath, wouldn't you want to put on some pants? And a sweater?

Time to get your geek on.

Once again Jody the Demon Child has sent me a link to something sufficiently interesting and unique that I've broken my rule about not posting links to outside sites.  In this case, it's the Geek Art web site, which is filled with links to great non-traditional artistic takes on a wide range of comic book, video game and genre movie material. There are samples of movie monsters as Marilyn Monroe, Darth Vader on the toilet, ATilla the pet AT-AT, the Wolverine alphabet, and on and on and on.

Of course, the joke is that Geek-Art is just a collection of links to cool stuff - does this mean I've broken my rule twice?

Something new;

Something borrowed;
