Ask a silly question...

Some variation of this goes around every so often, but it's usually interesting. This kind of compound two meme version got swiped from tigerbright.

I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about.

Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you.

Also, if you want me to interview you (3 questions) then mention that in your reply.

Oh yeah. Feel free to interview me too.

Sure!

1) What comic books do you particularly like and recommend? (And why?)

2) Which con did we meet at, do you remember? (I have to admit, I'm drawing a blank, but that may be not having quite woken up yet.)

3) Have you written any songs, or tried?

[poltr1]

1) Comics I'd recommend (in no paticular order): ElfQuest, Zot!, Omaha the Cat Dancer, Megaton Man, Myth Adventures!, Cerebus, Watchmen.

2) We first met briefly at OVFF 19 last year, and spent more time at OVFF 20 last month.

3) Yes I have, although you've not heard any of them. Christ Is My Super-Hero (this was a challenge piece for myself to write a Christian filk song), Carpe Diem!, Weekly World News, Am I A Stranger?, The Judgement. And plenty of unfinished songs.

Oh yeah. Why I like the comics I do (and most of them are old and have run their course):

ElfQuest: Excellent story and art. Plus I took a college course in it, which delved into the various Native American myths and folktales embedded in the storyline.
Zot!: Very simple and sweet. Storyline is not heavily dependant on battle scenes. Only lasted 36 issues. :-(
Omaha the Cat Dancer: Great adult comic where the sex is not gratuitious and is tastefully done.
Megaton Man: Hilarous pastiche of the super-hero genre. (Issue #3 is still at the top of my all-time hee-yuks list, followed closely by Ambush Bug.)
Myth Adventures!: Phil Foglio's adaptation of Robert Asprin's Another Fine Myth.
Cerebus: Biting social and political commentary that unfortunately devolved into the author's personal drama regarding women.
Watchmen: Gripping 12-issue miniseries featuring a world where superheroes have to go underground. I still want to see this made into a mini-series.

I like ElfQuest, I have the first 8-10 or so Omahas, not familiar with Megaton Man but it sounds good, Myth Adventures is lots of fun, Cerebus we have a little of but I've read lots more, and Watchmen is here on my desk beside me. :) I agree, all good stuff.
