You know when you meet someone who's a friend of a friend and then your friend goes to get tea and then you and the complete stranger wind up having to find something to talk about? Now you know a good way to break the ice.

Oh, I am so going to use that.

It works! Well, if the complete stranger is a morbid fucker like me, anyway.

See, while I hope for a zombie-based apocalypse, my more realistic answer was that there will be massive die-offs within 50 years and then the lack of genetic diversity among residual human populations will get the rest of us after another couple hundred years. Failing that, giant robots would also suffice.

I've been meaning to see it. The thing is, I can't get past the premise. I mean, if I knew that there were going to be no more babies, I'd get to work on making sure that cats evolved really quickly to create a race of superintelligent cat-people. I certainly wouldn't go around blowing up the remaining aging humans. It's just very counterproductive.

But the cat overlord scenes were great!

One of the early issues of Neil Gaiman's Sandman was about a cat having some kind of ancestral-memory-dream-thingy of a time when cats ruled the world. Little naked humans running away from giant cats who preyed on them for amusement. Kind of cute and scary at the same time.

Children of Men is fantastic but hopelessly depressing... I keep encouraging people not to see it, but they go anyway. More here.

Oh, Dream of a Thousand Cats! One of my favourites.

That's the one.

I have the first printing of that issue, actually. It's interesting because there's a colouring error in it that makes it near impossible to read but also, consequently, made the issue much more valuable than the ones that don't have the error. Go figure. I think I'd rather have the edition that was readable, you know?

Cool.

Answer: Not long, but I hope it can wait until after [insert upcoming gig for which one has purchesed tickets]

Can I steal the icon? Is that Buffy? I don't watch any fiction TV.

Yes, you can steal, yes it's Buffy, credit is appreciated.

My favorite part is your change in facial expression from panel two to panel three.

My favourite part is that despite how it looks in the drawing, he wasn't actually smiling.

... That does make it a little different.
