So, it turns out that I like sub-textual frosting...

Pre-view for #37.

The subject line (for those puzzled by it) is a reference to this post by the inimitable Barb, and basically means that I am a total sucker for Spuffiness.

(Shut up. I have ZERO expectations that it's going anywhere, but... *deep sigh* They're so good together.)

I've visited LJ only sporadically over the last few months, and had missed Barb's post. Thanks to you I got to go back and read it and all the wonderful comments that followed.

I've never taken the trouble to look at a comic in RL, let alone buy one. My disinterest in comics generally has stood me in good stead too, going by what I've read about them on LJ. My impression of the comics is that many elements of the story line seem utterly preposterous and completely disconnected from the canon of the show in plot and characterization. I'm not familiar with what Spike's role has been so far, nor have I read what Joss apparently had to say about it. Nevertheless, it feels as if I've gotten the gist of it, which is to say, it's disappointing (big surprise). This only reinforces my skepticism of any crumbs he ever deigns to toss our way.

TOTALLY my pleasure!

And as for the comics? You're pretty spot-on. Despite the fun stuff we're getting now, on the whole they've been pretty awful. (And I have in my time loved some comic books to distraction, so it's not the medium!)
