PROFIT

Welcome to my generic placeholder journal thing. I made it out of Post-Its and push pins, and I feel special. I update this sometime but not all the time. More neat stuff I did can be found at www.platypuscomix.net, which is the site with everything, except I think Deviantart was wrong about the monsters and that's too bad because I like monsters. Excelsior!

Love, Stan Lee

I really feel sorry for people who watch Bones. By now, you would think they would have caught on.

It pleases some people who prefer the original pinball logo (of which this resembles), but not me. I thought they'd never change the logo, despite the legal ramifications of it still using a circa-1980's font that just about every computer now has. You know why? Because the Splat is the closest thing to a timeless concept a logo can have. It can be anything, so it doesn't need to change.
