crucifix pose
I’m not reading anything right now. I’m working on the comic. It has a deadline now: all finished by midsummer (24 June 2008). So no reading - if you can be reading you can be working. Work work work. I spent January reading the first four Dune books. A spillover from last May that I spent repeatedly watching the special edition Lynch Dune on on demand, combined with Half Price Books having all four of them for a buck fifty apiece when I was in there after xmas. I didn’t so much read them as shovel them into my mouth like sand flavored cheetos.
It was all fun and games till I got to God Emperor Dune. I always heard it said around that in the event you ever decide to read the Dune books, stop at three, because after that you are on your own. And boy o if ever that isn’t the truth, I don’t know what is. I spent the duration of the book with my soul being kind of aghast at what it was witnessing. The worm lives underground for a reason people. I wouldn’t trade it though, I’m almost curious enough to seek out the rest, but I think I’m OK with leaving it where it is for now.
I was nicely working away on page 60 earlier. Well, going over the script trying to figure out how I’m going to pull it off, and crucifix pose pops up again. I feel like pulling up the word doc and doing a search, getting the numbers on how many times “crucifix pose” is in a scene description, but it would only come up with not enough times to make it funny and just the right ammount of times to make it especially horrible. It seems like I am always getting crucified or staring into the face of the worm in the course of drawing scripts for Kieron. Duke Leto II would laugh at this joke.
