[dc]H[/dc]ere’s a new post series, The Friday Six: a list of six thoughts, jokes, links, or whatever.

And seven is RIGHT OUT

[ ] I bought Daft Punk’s Alive 2007 the other day, and it is now my daily soundtrack. Everyone needs more beats and bass in their life, and it might as well come from robot DJs. I noticed my walk to/from work is a bit quicker while listening.

[ ] Related: Scenes From a Multiverse ran a great Daft Punk-themed strip recently. Love, love, love the last panel.

[ ] I watched the animated Dark Knight Returns Part 1 and Part 2 this week (got them from the library). Enjoyable and faithful, for the most part, to the comic. Part of me wishes they had tried to match the gritty, grungy colors/look of the comics. Think Triplets of Belleville, that’s what I’m envisioning. Clean lines and bright colors don’t really do The Dark Knight justice. Animation geekery aside though, well worth a watch.

[ ] Thinking about using gumroad.com to sell digital versions of my minicomics.

[ ] The Red Wings better win tonight. But, if’n they don’t, I’ll still watch the rest of the NHL Playoffs. Because, hockey.

[ ] Ray Harryhausen passed away this week. I spent many hours watching his films growing up, and again as an adult. Harryhausen is the reason I studied stop-motion animation in college.
