Nightscrawlers

:magneto Heh...what Dave didn't tell you about the hardcover is that in each Book there will be an original sketch by him! blank pages were sent to him for him to draw on and these will be sewn into the book. they are all original and each is different. Mostly they are headshots of characters he lik...

:magneto OK... looks like he hasn't checked in on this yet. eye surgery went well and he is already seeing much clearer. Total clarity will take a while, but he already has positive results which means he may get back to drawing again... Blindness is about the worst thing that can happen to an artis...

:magneto LOL...no you don't have to ask me anywhere else...I am having trouble with the little "recieve email on replies" thingies. I check them and they don't send emails to replies...sigh...but Dave usually tells me when someone has addressed a question to me... and sooner or later I get...

:magneto OK...lets clear this up. Dave you said you were unhappy about what was done with some of the X characters... that is what the question was referring to...not Wanda and Quickie... Magneto in his original incarnation by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby was a crazed, mindless villain... simply a foill ...

:magneto LOL... you are too generous, darlin'... My grandma taught me to cook down home maryland cooking... it ain't fancy, but it is filling... she used to take in every stray coming down the road, too... so I guess i come by it honestly, as i grew up with her, mom and my brother. Gram would see a ...

:magneto Actually, yes...We enjoyed Richard's visit so much that as the day wore on, I started dinner and invited him to join us. He accepted... with great courage and politeness and even ate everything on his plate!!!LOL We had Italian grilled chicken breasts asperagus and corn on the cob. A rather...

:magneto Yeah... we always have a good time at HeroesCon. shelton puts us up at the Weston... a top of the line hotel located right next to the convention center, so it is just a short hop across the street to get there. dave and I were mobbed with fans wanting autographs and sketches... wishful thi...

:magneto BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAA Paty does GO!!! Dave forgot to tell you that the motel, whichlooks like a lovely little place on the outside, had no small fridges in which we could keep Dave's insulin and I spent every day refurbishing the ice chest... so I was not in the best of moods with ...

:magneto ahem... I don't care if it pours down snow As long as I got my plastic Magneto Ridin' on the dashboard of my car... I don't care if it storms or showers Long as I got the Magnetic Powers Ridin' on the dashboard of my car... oops... does that belong in the "filk" thread??? LOL Paty...

:magneto LOL... we moved from badness to goodness. We live in south Carolina now...I don't even lock the car when it is sitting in my driveway these days...LOL...the crime rate around here is virtually negligible... just like it was in the Catskills back in the sixties, when I first went there. At t...

:magneto heh...yeah... After the first Lord of the rings movie, I had a Nazgul figure on my dashboard... this was after Darth had lost his "oomph"...lol and the nazgul did a good job, too... One day I was driving down our road and saw a neighbor that had just moved into a house down the ro...

:magneto Upshots are usually difficult and in this one you have the main body mass going away from us in perspective while you have the right hand coming towards us, which creates it's own problems in foreshortening... All of which are handled fairly well. Then you throw in the upshot...LOL... so th...

:magneto slobber...drool...lick, lick, lick... OK...now that I have washed the screen of my computer with my tongue... Seriously, This is lovely...are you thinking of getting into the biz? starchild has shown me some Nighty sketches you have done and they are very professional...do you think in sequ...

:magneto I don't mind at all... it is an excellent vignette of early Magnus. Fics like this one do not change extablished canon or diverge into an alternate reality... they embellish what exists with possibilities. With fanfic, there are two different types. those that do not change canon, but possi...

:magneto LOL... well, I was born in the year of the horse...and horses are one of my totem animals... the others are eagles...and other birds, like the macaw birdie babies I raised from the egg! LOL Trust me, you do NOT want to raise birdie babies from the egg... feeding round the cock every two hou...

:magneto which author? Patricia Cornwell. she writes a wonderful characer... Dr. Kay Scarpetta... chief medical examiner, her lover, Benton Wesley, an FBI profiler and her neice, Lucy, FBI, ATF, etc...LOL...juxtaposed against a scruffy almost Columbo-esque homicide detective... Pete Marino...who has...

:magneto Oh, Yeah... not made to last I can relate to...sigh... well, I am gonna be sixty four next tuesday... so I am pushing it here...LOL...over the hillism...Y'see all these gray hairs? I EARNED every one of them!!! LOL...I just sound young and smart alecky...LOL but underneath this somewhat gur...

:magneto LOL... I should know the answer to this? It is a fairly new one... flatscreen type...we got it in Nov of 04 and it cost a goddamn mint! ... what with the printer and scanner and such to go with it...sigh. the old one was an IMAC from a decade ago...looked like a turquoise hair dryer! Larry ...

:magneto LOL... the cars break on David...rarely on me. they know which of us will junk them without a second thought. Martha, my mother the car, knows better, however... I simply cannot threaten her... I just fix her...LOL. computers, on the other hand, I am almost sure I could learn to live withou...

:magneto LOL... sounds like Dave. He swears that cars break down on him on purpose...I tell him it is because he does not threaten them with the junkyard persuasively enough... Ya gotta mean it when you threaten... they respect that. One must never make threats one is not prepared to keep... or prom...

LOL... I have found that machines, not unlike people, behave better when you threaten them by name...
LOL

:magneto We name everything...LOL...our cars are Martha, my mother the car... and Cherry, the little red van. Martha was my bother's name and when she died I got the car from her...LOL...so she is Martha, my mother the car. cherry came with her own name when we bought the van from a friend to cart D...

:magneto You have all heard of Dave's tribulations with health matters and such. and many of you know that we are living fairly well today due to the unflagging efforts of such luminaries as Neal Adams, Harlan Ellison and the prime agitator, himself, Cliff Meth... who is the kind of good friend most...

:magneto surge protector is fine... heavy duty and in good working order. a friend who is savvy about all kinds of computers looked it over and said he thought it was a hardsare problem... dave thought it was a virus... but the repair people say it needs parts... thank goodness for extended service ...

:magneto Y'see, the problem for us older readers is that we have known these characters for decades... they are old friends and while , yes, people change as their lives go on, the core of each character shouldn't change drastically. they are icons that are used to teach lessons and tell stories. If...
