Back Again, and Glad of It

Just got home a few hours ago. Had the misfortune to get sick literally as soon as we arrived at the hotel on vacation (see simulation from "Malled" at right), spent the whole weekend in hotel room. Woozy but okay now.

Thank heavens it's back to Daria again! Fanfic update tomorrow.

A Racy Day at the Races

You know, the more I look at this picture, the more disturbing it becomes. Just trying to image the kind of roleplaying that goes along with Jake riding his filly to the finish line at The Oaks, and the kind of celebration they have afterwards, and what Helen is really wearing (or not) under that costume . . . it makes me feel like I will never be clean again. Bad dirty! Bad dirty! Ugh! Eww!

But that's why I'm here, and that's why you're here, too. Bad dirty is good to share.

On DariaWiki, Brother Grimace has written about Defender Rings, which are not birth-control devices.

New art is out!

• Lorenzo Sauchelli has given the Legion of Lawndale Heroes new uniforms. Wow!
• MDetector5 has created a new Quinn & Daria piece!

London falls beneath the Vegemite heel of Deref the Oz Barbarian. Oh, the humanity!

And Mike Xeno has started a conversation about Irredeemable Daria Characters. I have some thoughts on this but have to go to bed. More soon. LATE ADD: I've had my say on the topic, now. Post your thoughts as well!


PPMB

• Falling Into College 62: Run It Up the Mast, by Richard Lobinske (Part 1): Daria goes job-hunting: "Would you like fries with that?"
• The Kid Stays Out of the Picture, by Scissors MacGillicutty (fragment): A fantastic story bit inspired by S.C.'s portrait of Daria as a "cleaner."
• A Little Vacation, by Doggieboy (Epilogue 1): Robert goes up against zombies and comes out second best, only moments before . . .
• Oh, That Smell, by thatLONERchick (COMPLETE!): This is about as unusual and nasty a superpower as can be.
• Turnabout Confusion Part II: All The King's Horses, by Dennis (continued): I have plenty of time to crush them, thought Ms. Li as she watched her spy camera monitors.

Somewhere, in an alternate universe very, very, very, very, very far away . . .

As ours is an animation fandom, it is worth a tip of the hat to a famous figure whose birthday was today: Walter Lantz, creator of Woody Woodpecker and company. While acting as the live host for his cartoon TV show in the late 1950s and beyond, he demonstrated the techniques of how animation is done, which was an eye-opener for many young viewers of the time. I remember seeing these episodes myself. Though it is a source of frustration for Quinn Morgendorffer to know that she was not the first famous redhead in animation (Woody probably was), at least she's the cutest. Unless you count Kim Possible. Or Daphne Blake. Or Mary Jane Watson. Oh, Jean Grey, yeah, for sure. And there were some others. . . .

PPMB

• Avalon, by legendeld (Part 17): Veronica is back, but not as you might imagine, and Quinn pays a visit to Mom.
• Iron Chef: Unusual Superpowers (continued): This just gets worse and worse (i.e., better and better).
  
• Stacy Rowe, Seeker (Part II) (continued): [groans] Okay, I was not expecting that.
