Today's guest artist uses the palindromish nom de plume Zammap, a very gifted and cool person. One of the great parts of using guest artists is seeing their little additions and addenda. For example, the cover of C's book, the one that somehow changes from panel one to panel three? That's Zammap's brilliance. It's also an example of one form of pathetic fallacy, when the external world depicts the internal emotional state of a character. You didn't think you'd learn something today, did you? But there it is. To see more of Zammap's work, check out the very cool website www.zammap.com and the webcomic The Discover of Mafital.

A quick word on one-liners. I actually do love them. And I miss them. I mean, what's quotable from Avatar. "We will send them a message. This is our land." That's not clever. Danny Glover uses a nail gun to take down two baddies in one of the Lethal Weapon movies, and then he says, "Nailed'em both." Ha. It's brilliant in its idiocy. The thing about one-liners is they're quick, as the name implies. They only take one line and about a half-hour or so to set it up. Below are a two of the most ridiculous one-liners. Heck yeah.
