Lip Jobs

Abe

I just saw a glimpse of Caitlynn Jenner on the TV - an advertisement for her show, I suppose - and it looked as if she had lip implants and other work.

She unfortunately looked liked Ricou Browning in his most famous role, or possibly amphibious like Abe Sapien in Hellboy. The whole business is like a graphic novel. I wonder if the girls will join BPRD (Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense) and they and Abe will go to Syria to fight ISIS?

Dr. Strange

I have a number of quite old Dr. Strange comic books.
I love comix.

MotorCity ComicCon 2014

I went to the MotorCity ComicCon at the Novi Suburban Selection Showplace (whatever that means!) yesterday.

I looked at comix, books, geegaws, toys, clothes, and some costumes. Saturday is CosDay, so there will be more today. Yesterday, about 15% were in cos.
I never realized how short skirts are in cos. Kilts remain standard length - whew! - and I saw one on a bloke who had a bumper sign that read "This is a kilt. If I were wearing something beneath, it would be a skirt!"

I was most impressed by the use of the subjunctive "were" instead of the usual "was" or even the more usual and frequent  "wuz".

I think everyone should attend a ComicCon wearing. Next year, I shall be wearing.
Wearing what, though, is the question.

She-who-must-be-obeyed suggested we do Little Lulu (by Marge). That sounded OK. Only I am not tubby enough to be Tubby. And my grey Wolverine beard would make for a strange Lulu.

So if we do Lulu, I shall be McNabbem, the truant officer. I shall probably have to have a button or card on the lapel saying "Truant Officer", since McNabbem is not a figure of general knowledge. However, that is to my advantage, too, since McNabbem is a bit rotund.
I could be Mr. Gruffly, the principal, or Mr. Tompkins, Tubby's paterfamilias.
