Ah, The Sandman. Good stuff. I should get The Wake so I can finish it.

I still only have the first 8 volumes. Really need to go and pick up the last ones someday.

I really need to get around to reading that again. I've gone through like the first two volumes but never finished it.

Goodness I've been away. What have I missed?

Not much, Orion. I just seem to have gotten everyone on a tangent regarding Neil Gaiman's The Sandman.

You created a monster.

BTW: Can you make a Tumblr ask blog just by signing up and scanning your art to the site?

Pretty much, although it won't be very good unless you put the effort into it.

Been drawing better for about a year. I'm ready. Now, everybody, donate me money for a faster, smarter computer/internet service!

I'm actually writing a fic with an OC who's essentially the Sandman as a pony.

That reminds me, I really need to get back to work on that thing.

Are we talking about "Spiderman" Sandman or probably something I never heard of?

Dream of the Endless Sandman.

Neil Gaiman's Sandman AKA Best Sandman AKA Dream of the Endless AKA Morpheus AKA Best Sandman.

Shining Armor the Knight Templar Big Brother.

Nightlight tells Twilight about the birds and the bees

Spike the evil mastermind.

BTW I have a request. I made a new works pages for a MLP Fanfic called Plushy and I was wondering if someone could make a wiki Size version and upload it? FYI, I did not write the fic.

So, something I never heard of. Gotcha.

I dunno, Morpheus is pretty awesome but I always had a soft spot for Wesley Dodds, aka the man who had a piece of the dreaming trapped in his skull while Morpheus was imprisoned, AKA the Mystery Man Sandman. Though Morpheus is a classic Byronic hero which makes me love him all the more.

The next Da Vinci, she is not.

Hmm... true. Wesley Dodds did seem like a cool guy from what I saw(Starman Omnibus volume 2, because the universe hates the idea of me finding a volume 1). Anyone who can pick up the costume at like, 80, has my respect.

Same here. I do remember one I had a while back that involved among other things Katara having a lightsaber and Toph trying to hide the music on her laptop from Snape.

The Neil Gaiman Sandman series was initially supposed to be a relaunch of the Wesley Dodds character, and he does make an appearance in the first issue.

He did get his own series, called Sandman Mystery Theatre.

Sucks comics rarely novelize their storylines, and their hard to find and low quality at that.

Hello, bleh just having on of those days where you feel like shit. Emotionally, not physically.

Now, far be it from me to argue the comic over the book(Though I should note that a volume of Sandman actually won an award for Best Short Story, [immediately whereupon comics were banned from nomination], so, you know), but may I ask why it being a comic is a problem? In most cases the comic-ness actually adds a lot to the story. It uses the panels to great effect, and often makes huge use of surreal visuals that you just can't do in literature. "And then Delirium was a School of Tropical Fish" Just doesn't have the same effect as actually seeing Delirium as Delirium in one panel and a school of Tropical Fish with no notice of it the next.

Presuambly due to visual impairment?

Oh shit, I completely lost track of the time! Catch you all tomorrow, where hopefully, I won't totally derail us.
