The House of Irony / Comics

Yesterday morning, one of the most influential comic book artists of the past hundred years passed away at his drawing table doing what he loved most.

Rest in peace, Mr. Toth.

The following are the stats for Cheeks found in the DC Heroes roleplaying module entitled Don’t Ask. It appears that they may be outdated, as Cheeks has seen combat as a frontline medic and this doesn’t seem to be part of his skill set. If anyone cares to update this character sheet, please send it my way and I will make the necessary corrections.

Day 3 of the 2006 edition of the annual Great Outdoor Fight has ended. All the gory details can be found at Achewood.

It was probably the biggest upset in The Great Outdoor Fight history since the Turkey Dinner Incident of 1970. I had money on Latino Health Crisis to place, or at the very least match Toronto Man Machine’s showing in ‘73. Oh, well. He lasted into the second night, which is better than I would have done.

I haven’t had internet access at home for nearly two years. I am fairly confident that, since getting hooked up yesterday, I have read the entire internet. In my travels I have come across a number of topics that have competed for the right to be presented here. With every minute a new discovery supplanted the previous until I was sure I wouldn’t be able to choose. Finally, I found one site that I was certain could not be trumped.

ROM & Me is one man’s homoerotic journey of self-discovery via the thrilling adventures of ROM, Space Knight. I can truly say that this has changed my life, especially the comic found in the pictures section.

Thanks to hardcore ROM fan and enemy of all Dire Wraiths Robin Bougie for sharing this with the world.
