You should read Vaughan's Pride of Baghdad if you haven't. It's a short Graphic Novel (that's what hipsters call comic books when they don't want to sound like a nerd) that is incredibly awesome. Just came to mind when you mentioned lions there.

Also I love how you fell back on the best blogging crutch ever, Imdonetalkingheresaprettypicture. I approve, Crys-nee <3.
