RIgirl's Profile

I have volume one (I got it for Christmas) but I haven't had the time to sit and actually read and enjoy it. Hopefully, with summer coming, I can find a small bit of time to myself to curl up in the warm sunshine and read and savor the pictures to my little heart's desire. :)

Hi, GC! Sorry I'm a little late in welcoming you, but I have to join in with everyone else -- your art work is AMAZING! I'm not an artist (though I wish I were) because I would love to be able to take the images I can see in my mind and put them on paper. Instead, I am primarily a writer and try to write out what I see (the biggest problem with that is that I tend to use lots and lots of words to do that!). Anyway, I'm so glad you joined us here and I am looking forward to seeing more of your artwork that you choose to share with us!

Ebonnyswanne: It all comes down to this -- for whatever reason, I have loved the RI/Cronus since the first time he flew across my TV screen. I just did, just as most people just disliked him. But then, all my life, I've tended to gravitate towards the broken, the troubled, the things that no one else wanted and the people no one else wanted to be around. Probably because I was one of those people (and, for all I know, I still am, but I don't really pay attention to any of that anymore. One of the benefits of growing older, I suppose). Out of all of the characters in the series, for the amount of time that he is shown (he only appears in 13 episodes and a handful of those are literally just fly-bys), the writers managed to create a very detailed, complex character. The fact that the character can spark such intense reactions from people (both good and bad) is a testament to the series' writers doing a really, really good job with character development here. And I agree with you on this point: RI/Cronus is most definitely a character of the time and the culture out of which the show came. Some times, none of us can help where we've come from and the person that has shaped us to be, it's just that some people are more successful at overcoming those shortfalls than others. RI, unfortunately, was not one of the successful ones. Ah, well, no one's perfect. :)

Grumpy Ghost Owl -- I must confess, that cleaners actually does exist -- if you ever find yourself in New York State, on Hwy 17, in a small village by the name of Sloatsburg, you will see the Galactic Cleaners, with the sign in olive drab and yellow ... I kid you not. And every time we drive by it, I always wonder, you know? ;)

Chris: It does make you wonder, though, how people see you after that. If I think about it long enough, that comment can still leave me feeling slightly unbalanced.
