Oh, wow
If you haven’t been reading Sinfest, you should be, and if you missed Sunday’s installment, you should give it a look. Criminee and Fuchsia have a thing going on, and it’s been getting him out of his shell — and showing her that she has a human side. This one was very, very good.
New theme…
This is ChocoTheme, which I just loved real quicklike because it reminds me a bit of a sketchbook, à la Moleskine or some such. That is all. (BTW, Bryce, you’ll notice the “share this” links are back…)
