@Macross - Same. Cut my teeth on Star Blazers and Battle of the Planets. But Robotech was my real gateway drug to Macross and anime in general. :)

@Macross @socketwench - Macross: +100 for your screen name. :)

@socketwench - I went for Gerudo town first thing in the game, and it's obvious that the Queen Gibdos fight is NOT supposed to be your first. But I ground through it on four hearts. My one and only death in the game.

Would now be a good time to say I've been trying to break into screen writing on and off since 1995? Freshface non-jaded writer willing to...oh, wait, writers are supposed to be cragged and jaded. MAYBE THAT'S BEEN THE PROBLEM THE WHOLE TIME.

Find it kinda funny that a lot of people recognize the Macross influence in my comics (and to be sure, it's there), but there's also a bit of Dirty Pair in there.

I don't really talk much about Dirty Pair versus Macross, but one of the things | love about Dirty Pair was their anatomy design. Minmei and Misa/Lisa are fairly thin, while Kei and Yuri have a more thicker, buffer (but not overly muscular} physique, that I've always liked.

And Carrie and Allison are kind of Macross Adpations of Kei and Yuri. With Carrie and Allison being trans, I've tried to work that physique in them (Although Allison ended up tall and thin anyways).

@socketwench - Yup! The only reason it didn't get five was the PTEN deal collapsed and they didn't have TNT to save the show like Babylon 5 did.

@socketwench - I actually really liked it when it first came out. It was just a slow decent into madness over four years, though.

@socketwench - How about just some awful?

Thoughts Before Bed

Think I'd get more job interviews if I added "can drive stick shift" to my resume? I mean, it's a rare skill these days.
