why can't we have sweet stamps like these? the dragon is obviously awesome, but i also really like the pixie riding the snail because it reminds me of "the neverending story."
i almost never mail physical letters, but i think i might be more inclined to do so if the U.S. postal service would let me use stamps with pictures of a gorgon or a hippogriff or something sweet instead of all that lame ass shit they use now.
i actually came across that one on neil gaiman's blog. i really like his stuff and would recommend him to anyone who likes reading in general. i'm reading "sandman" right now and it's incredible. i haven't read too many graphic novels, but there's some amazing stuff out there and you're depriving yourself if you think they're just crappy comic books.
i've also read "neverwhere" and "good omens" (which was co-written by terry pratchett, another of my favorites.), both of which i thought were great.
plus "coraline" in 3-d was incredibly cool and honestly quite creepy. god help all the parents who brought their kids to that thinking it was going to be like "nightmare before christmas."

i loved Good Omens. i keep forgetting to give Sandman a chance. what is Neverwhere about?
ReplyDeleteit's been years since i've seen Nightmare Before Christmas, but i don't remember it being very kiddie-friendly. also, Coraline was better.
neverwhere is kind of hard to explain. basically it's an urban fantasy where there's this whole other world beneath london and this guy involuntarily becomes a part of it.
ReplyDeletenightmare before christmas was way, way less creepy than coraline. i think nightmare was "macabre silliness" and coraline went beyond that to "potentially traumatizing."
