Jack Black as a drunk elf who got the One Ring pierced through his dong.

Not because I dont want to do it, but I dont know if I have time. If I did this it would be digital only, and based on the size/complexity of the piece. For now I will say that I am open to this idea, but not ready quite yet. I will post an announcement if/when I can offer this. I'm debating on whether to offer commissioned art in the store.

Not sure. Great comic though. I actually enjoyed the IM thing but I can see how limiting it is to you. Fit this one just fine though. How's this weeks podcast coming along? I need something to listen to at the gym. And Wonder Woman is a useless character but I agree Whedon could make it great. Isn't it called a bat-a-rang? Not sure. Great comic though.

My friends and I mused that the invisible jet was just an excuse she made up cause she could always fly on her own, but only in a sitting position.

I agree though, I would rather have both lopped off. Then I'd probably get a dick. I hate Freud. Actually… a lot of women choose to just "hack one off" due to breast cancer.
