To reopen use of this blog with a bang, I decided to take the liberty of showing just what exalted company in which I find myself. That company is, of course, creators of silly personifications of death.
The short list, vol. 1 in no particular order*:
Me! for my Little Reaper Dude in the multiple-rejection-winning Eat the Comet.
Tatsuya Ishida, for Sinfest comics like this one.
Christopher Moore, for A Dirty Job.
Neil Gaiman, for Death of the Endless, American Gods, and co-writing Good Omens, among other things, I'm sure.
Terry Pratchett, for Death and Death of Rats, as well as co-writing Good Omens.
Lisa Snellings-Clark of Slaughterhouse Studios, for her Grim Ratter.
The folks at Despair.com for my favorite t-shirt.
Everyone behind Dead Like Me.
