Ah, I was hoping someone would comment. Glad you liked. ^^
I mistyped the title it is Once Upon a Time in France, not Paris lol.
Oh yeah, that's one of my favorites, and Nury's one of my favorite writers. Really, I recommend anything you can lay hands on by him. Tyler Cross and Silas Corey are especially good IMO.
Thanks for sharing so honestly, and I'm sorry to hear about all that. Sounds downright horrible.
Good to hear you're working hard to get better, and yeah, I feel similarly about AA. Altho on reflection, I don't really have a problem considering The Cosmos a 'higher power' if that's all they really want to hear. Moreso, I'd rather not have any trace of religion involved in their 12-step program, or whatever it is. Something I should check out, really.
Anyway, in terms of my own situation, thanks for your thoughts on my own self-medication, I'd rather keep that a private convo if and when you feel like talking about it...
Okay, thanks for the update(!)
Sounds like an interesting novel, and possibly suitable for BD.
Interesting how we both seem to have a drinking problem. For me, it's one of the few ways I can get some relief from my CFS/ME disease, and I'm thankful for that, but of course it has its darker side, too... :S
Wow, how cute.
I think I can forgive the dishes thing since she's compensating so nicely, there. <3
I've never heard it, but I like it. Definitely a good word for these times!
At no point did I try to 'pass this one off' as an American comic, so I guess you're right about your general confusion in life.
Good luck to you, mate.
Oh damn, did feddit.de go down like like lemm.ee did..?

I don't think the style of this comic fits our theme well enough to post it here regularly.
Agree.
Just think of how the classic Star Wars Trilogy is an obvious mashup/reverence of/to Dune, Star Trek, Jidai-geki (Kurosawa in particular) and Western movies.
IMO a brilliant mashup indeed, plus a tribute to the old Flash Gordon serials and to the philosophical precepts (eh, that's not really the right terminology, but...) of Joseph Campbell and The Power of Myth.
That said, I kinda wish Lucas would have stopped after the original trilogy, and gone back to making gems like American Graffiti and so forth.
The other huge X-factor in the room of course is his divorce from wife Marcia, who heavily contributed to the genius of early Star Wars, IMO. Both she and people like Harry Ford would regularly tell George: "this is a great idea, but the dialogue is absolute crap." XD
Woah, I didn't know you were familiar with Astrid, too, chieftain Mîm!
Hey that reminds me, @Nakedmole@lemmy.world,
Could Astrid make me a pizza one day like this clever cutie?
As someone who grew up in Philly, I'm slightly bemused as to why as a group we don't seem to have ever tried adding scrambled egg in our cheesesteaks. Or scrapple, for that matter.
