From TV to Sketchbooks to Comics

[dewline]

Memorables from Little Mosque on the Prairie's latest installment on CBC TV, "The Archdeacon Cometh":

- Rev. Duncan McGee: "Christianity didn't survive two thousand years by being charitable."

- Amir Raashid: "The question is one of ethics."
Yasir Hamoudi: "The question is 'can we get away with it?'"

- Just about any exchange between Fatima Dinssa and Fred Tupper. Comedy gold, those barbs they were slinging back and forth.

Moving on...I've posted something from my sketchbooks inspired by Eddy Newell's work on Black Lightning with Tony Isabella. I like that costume design. Apologies to Ed Benes and Brad Metzler, but I do like it still.

I am unsurprised by the way Marvel ended Civil War this week. The old Samuel Delany saw about inconclusive endings still works for me here. Still uneasy about Omega Flight. Like Puck said to Sasquatch a long time ago, a lot of people busted their buns to get Alpha Flight back again. They want to read Alpha Flight.

Yasir Hamoudi: "Easter? Is that when the Baby Jesus sees his shadow?"

Although generally Fatima gets the best lines.

She does have an imagination behind that sharp tongue of hers, doesn't she?

I like your version of BL's costume. I don't think that I really care what Brat Metzler thinks about anything.

What did Samuel Delany say about inconclusive endings? I thought that the end to CW really had to do more with the original ending having been leaked/guessed some months before. I really wonder how many of Millar's diehard fans will be behind this one.

Something I recall from a quote in the Batman: Knightfall novelization: The most instructive endings are inconclusive ones.

"Instructive" counts as "good" with me.
