Magic Edition
The use of magic in the comic book world is always interesting. Sometimes it is played for laughs, and sometimes it is played straight, and can often turn to the horrifying. This week, we are asking you an important question about two casters of spells.

Great episode guys. I have three things to say.
1. Stephen – Haha! You didn’t just gloss over my comment in the Poll this week, you glossed over everyone’s comments! Muahahahahaha!
2. Matthew – Every time you make a HIMYM reference, I smile or laugh. As that is one of my favorite shows, I find myself making references to it quite frequently. I just wanted to let you know that, while Stephen and Rodrigo don’t seem to acknowledge or care about them, they are appreciated.
3. Slappy – Thanks for the welcome to the forums. I’m already enjoying myself on there.
For some reason when I was young Earthworm Jim never spoke to me it was only years later that I really found his humor. Ratfist is great humor and I’m glad I have this book. Its not for everyone but what is.
Here is a interview I heard a while ago talking to Doug TenNapel about his politics and Ratfist I think its useful to understand Doug’s point of view. Also has some view pokes at the modern video games industry. http://newledger.com/podcasts/CoffeeandMarkets071211.mp3
Keep up the good work
