He accidentally bites my lip when the phone rings again. She's drunk and afraid he doesn't love her anymore.
"I have to go. I'll call you tomorrow."
I say okay (it isn't).
His hand grabs the wall, trying to stay inside as he leaves, but he's already out the door.
No I was thinking about that story when I originally made it up to amuse my sisters when I was 8, well to amuse me too.Quote:

Stop looking at me.
I'm not looking at you.
I know your type -- ogling women in public places. You ought to be ashamed.
Are you nuts? When was the last time you looked in the mirror?
He exited at the next stop and went to confession.
Later, she bought a new mirror.
Can I write two? I'm in a writing mood...
Errors would be made, of course. But it was the hunt that signified, he knew. In the heart of every man, of every woman, there was a lust, that when indulged, destroyed. And if he could correctly calculate it and then generously offer it to each unsuspecting soul -- eventually...bullseye!
The superheroes sat in their abandoned warehouse, sparring in the combat training center with unmitigated fury. A klaxon suddenly went off—one warrior rushed to the command center, nodded to his partners. A car, a plane, and a jetpack rocketed out of the building. Destination: downtown.

Sounds like the scene from Silence of the Lambs!

Has any comic been as acclaimed as Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' Watchmen? Possibly only Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, but Watchmen remains the critics' favorite. Why? Because Moore is a better writer, and Watchmen a more complex and dark and literate creation than Miller's fantastic, subversive take on the Batman myth. Moore, renowned for many other of the genre's finest creations (Saga of the Swamp Thing, V for Vendetta, and From Hell, with Eddie Campbell) first put out Watchmen in 12 issues for DC in 1986-87. It won a comic award at the time (the 1987 Jack Kirby Comics Industry Awards for Best Writer/Artist combination) and has continued to gather praise since.
The story concerns a group called the Crimebusters and a plot to kill and discredit them. Moore's characterization is as sophisticated as any novel's. Importantly the costumes do not get in the way of the storytelling; rather they allow Moore to investigate issues of power and control--indeed it was Watchmen, and to a lesser extent Dark Knight, that propelled the comic genre forward, making "adult" comics a reality. The artwork of Gibbons (best known for 2000AD's Rogue Trooper and DC's Green Lantern) is very fine too, echoing Moore's paranoid mood perfectly throughout. Packed with symbolism, some of the overlying themes (arms control, nuclear threat, vigilantes) have dated but the intelligent social and political commentary, the structure of the story itself, its intertextuality (chapters appended with excerpts from other "works" and "studies" on Moore's characters, or with excerpts from another comic book being read by a child within the story), the finepace of the writing and its humanity mean that Watchmen more than stands up--it keeps its crown as the best the genre has yet produced. --Mark Thwaite
Oh...
I think it is one of the best i ever read..
Okay, that's what I thought, I wasn't sure. I only read one brief anecdote from the Watchmen, and that was because Green Arrow's mug on the cover caught my eye in the library.
Thanks for the kind comparison--incidentally, the three characters in that brief little snippet are intended to be a focus for a graphic novel I'm planning :D.
No problam.... you should look for it if you have the time.
Oh cool.... i tried so many times to draw comics.. but my drawing skills aint that good..
any how good luck.. i'll hope i'll have the chance to read it. :)
Hehe--I'm not very good at drawing either, though when I started work on it, I tried. After two covers and 2 and a half pages, I restricted myself to just writing the comics rather than trying to do the inking/shading/pencilling myself. Borrowed a book by Dennis O'Neil from the library on writing comics to get myself started.
cool...
sound interstaing.. i have one on drawing by an Israely comics .. maker.. but it aint that good,,,
