"Recruited."

I don't really think Tony would do anything super-awful, even when prodigiously drunk; but he would feel enough guilt about falling off the wagon that he both wouldn't want anyone else to see it and think he deserves punishment himself. A punishing hangover, then. This is another nod to current continuity (when I wrote this, anyway...) and Tony and Emma's marriage is supposed to just be one of convenience, but Tony knows damn well he's gonna get sprung on Emma and his heart broke. He knows the score going in; you buy the ticket and take the ride.

I very nearly ordered Satana a Punisher-skull shirt--it probably would've been huge on her! But, sadly, no time for that. I do occasionally shop Legends-scale soft-goods stuff, looking for deals; we'll see what turns up.

  1. I'm curious how sad shirt look on her. Probably cute as all get out.
    Does Hasbro now offer that or is it a 3rd party retailer?

    I'd like to think Tony wouldn't do anything too bad either, because essentially, he's a good man, buuuuuuuuutttt, I can't discount him not having been on said guest list for an MU analogue of Epstein. Very curious why Marvel hasn't gone there yet.

    I'm sure Satana's explanation is the one that most logically happened.

    Hey, are we getting a new Christmas strip this year? Not sure if you planned one out in advance, and I'm certainly not complaining if you didn't, but I was just curious. Christmas Ch'Od has a certain ring to it no?

  2. I have...about a day, day and a half left for inspiration to strike...Yeah, Christmas is not happening this year. I haven't felt the holiday spirit, really; and I dunno if that's because I'm a grump, or maybe it's global warming. Really feels like maybe it should be colder and gloomier than it is; which I shouldn't complain about but it does feel like a problem?

    I am working on the short, year-end bits; although I did luck into some cheap Legends that maybe might have a longer strip in them.

    Yeah, third party stuff. I wanna say, it's like mid-April, when clearance has dried up and new stuff hasn't necessarily appeared, that's when I end up ordering weird crap. I wish I had the paint skills for third-party heads, though...

  3. I kinda disagree- it’s been a while since Tony got drunk to that level, and he’s got so much going on that he might not know what Drunk Tony is like anymore. I mean, it’s probably nothing he’d get arrested for but there’s a good enough chance it’s something he wouldn’t want anyone else to know about.

    What did happen with Kurt though? I know he was back in the bar last strip, but was there a resolution to the Serpent Society stuff or did he just say ‘no thanks’ and bamf out?

  4. @H: Goo has yet to reveal how Kurt just noped himself out of that whole situation. I'm sure Kurt will tell us all about it like Peter Griffin & his signature cutaways.

    @Goo:

    I legit hope you find yourself transitioning into a better frame of mind, lest ye be visited by the 3 ghosts of Christmas? Xmas? Felipe's Not your Dad?

    No, I heat you man, the older you get & depending on your personal situation, it gets harder to get into the holiday spirit, kids or no kids, especially the way each year negatively progresses. Still, it could always be worse, so don't tempt fate.

    Just went to Ross last night and they only had 2 Siryn ML figures. Some misc Star Wars figures and a nice Mystique figure, I guess is from the tv show line, for only $5.99 from 20.00. Maybe I should've bought it, idk, but it did look nice.

  5. Only 2 Siryn? Swear to god, I saw six at one the other day. They've had some good Star Wars Black, G.I. Joe deals; but I got one Multiple Man and was hoping for more, maybe Avalanche or Longshot. (I already paid full price for Dark Phoenix and saw one...)

    Today was a pretty swell day, though! Bought a ton of dollar books, two Legends came in the mail, and the Void wave oughta show up next week!
