Gail Simone needs to step away from the computer.

November 28th, 2006

No, really. From her CBR forum:

I’ve taken the liberty of asking the Mad Hatter to solve all your life’s problems, and he’s kindly agreed, even with a painful knife wound in his back.

State your problem, and the Hatter shall help.

Gail

And what kind of advice has the Hatter given so far? Here’s an example:

“I wanted mints from the vending machine. I misread and got a sidekick candy bar instead.”

“Hmm. Only one thing for it, research the company that makes the vending machine, learn the home address of its president, and kill him in an astounding hat crime. That’s what I’d do.”

The insanity may be spreading, as well, as elsewhere on the forum, Gail and Kurt Busiek reminisce on Kurt’s life of crime:

“I’m tired of Kurt Busiek being thrown in jail all the time, just to escape a few issues later. It’s unrealistic.”

“Rubbish. It’s absolutely true-to-life. Remember after we busted up that Chinese restaurant, and they threw us all in jail, I got us out and fixed the parking tickets? And the arson charge at Kesel’s place — got everyone out then, too. Trust me, this stuff happens all the time.”

    I wonder if there’s any truth to the rumor that it was Kurt Busiek. In the hall. With the revolver.

    Now I’m going to go home and sleep with my wife…

  9. Diamondrock Says:

    I am SO glad to know that I’m not the only person in the world who “gets” references like these.

    “Where’s the key?”

    “In my pocket!”
