There is a difference between refusing a helping hand and dismembering it. I would never refuse one.

If blood were green, then green would be my favorite color.
AWESOME.

The only connection I can think of between turnips and religion/superstition is that the original jack-o-lanterns were made of hollowed-out turnips. So there's a rather tenuous link between the two, but man, this guy sounds like he's been reading way too much Jack Chick.

Maybe Resnick just had something against turnips.

...Actually, that whole cover looks like a Jack Chick design, doesn't it! The eyeliner on Our Evil Overlord, especially so.

That is so wonderful I may have to put it on an icon. I just. I can't even, it is just so. Wow.

GRAY WOULD BE THE COLOR IF I HAD A HEART

If you do, let me know so I can steal!

I have a filthy mind, because when I read "a hilarious Satanic person with two seals of Solomon on his person" I thought, "You know, the Seal of Solomon would make a great pastie design, wouldn't it."

It would also be good as a codpiece.

Time for a redesign of the Two of Pentacles!

...It would be horribly perfect to turn that Ryder image into someone swinging tassels, wouldn't it.

Is there such a thing as a five-pointed Seal of Solomon? I think those are just inverted pentagrams, which are, y'know, Evil.

Otherwise, spot-on.

I think any star enclosed in a circle is technically a Seal of Solomon.

I... um... actually enjoyed this. In a very special way. Thanks!

I think you're right. My brain is very fuzzy this week due to illness.

I thought you might appreciate this book's particular... qualities. And you are welcome. (At least I can properly recommend you bad books.)
