I know that damn ringtone.

Except I'm more of a believer in setting people alight with a flamethrower.

Ah yes, that reminds me of one of my favorite lines when I'm in full Mad Scientist mode:

"Give a man a match, and he will be warm for a day, light a man on fire, and he will be warm for the rest of his life."
(Best used when the audience is expecting the "Give a fish/teach to fish" line, so the similarity in metre and rhythm lulls them into complacent 'non-hearing' of the real words until a few moments after. Watching their faces as their brains catch up is SO entertaining. )

Panel four: now THAT is the face of someone frantically rationalizing to prop up the walls of her worldview under the assault of an unexpected Armor Piercing Question.

To paraphrase one of Sir Terry Pratchet's most beloved characters, Death, "To be human is to be where the Falling Angel meets the Rising Ape." We are all both killers/destroyers and healers/builders, through 'civilization' we just subdivide and combine the feats into 'sanitized' versions, often by mechanizing our killing and hiding it within 'processing plants,' Many people enjoyed a roasted or deep-fried turkey a few weeks back, but not as many had to handle the dish as a carcass, and fewer still had to deal with the carcass as a living creature whose life was about to end in a swift violent instant.

Singing cleavage IS magic.

Oh, this is going to be fun.

I just started to sing that ringtone.

looks like Savage already sent Jack an Alert... A heroes work is never Done..

Wait, what rape? Was that in a storyline in Genus? I only remember To Kill A Demon and Gather The Children.

The surviving wannabe rapist from the "Strange Favors" story - the one where she got hit from behind with a baseball bat?

OH, right! I remember that now. The look on Laura's face while she was groggy just came back to me. She looked like hell. You have a knack for sort of cartoony yet VERY realistic facial expressions.

It's getting intresting

Thanks. That song is now running through my head. :p
