some (more?) background

i like the comic book called Northlander.

it's not marvel or really technically DC (it's vertigo) so you know they care about things. starting a new comic idea is not as easy as trying to reinvent old favourites.

i'm Canadian, despite trying to cling to "Scottish heritage" because i believe it's more interesting or descriptive than canadian. i don't think i'm the only canadian that thinks so. we reach for something else to describe us. canada is boring and doesn't have much of a culture of its own yet still. besides hockey, which i am fine with, but reject.

they can both be considered Northlanders, canadians and whatever the hell my grandparents were.

and i like the cold for the most part. recently i told a friend that i would buy a parka with the rest of my money, and move north. she said she wouldn't blame me, but it's probably not very fun.
