Wait, really? Stardust was a comic first?

 

EDIT: per wikipedia

Quote

Initially, Stardust was released in 1997 as a prestige format four-issue comic mini-series. Stardust came out once a month in a square-bound, high-gloss booklet with high grade paper, high quality color and no advertisements.

 

Sorry, I'll have to nix Stardust.

Originally published as a comic book. FYI.

Shucks and other commentary.

 

So I’m the only one who knows my Gaiman bibliography? Do I get extra XP? :)

Okay, in the absence of Tristran, I am forced to resort to desperate measures!

Three lovely young ladies, three eligible young men of good standing and exceptional means. Now, to pair them up....

"Oh, how I've wanted to meet you," said the cat with a grin. "You've been getting quite a name all around the place."

 

Coraline rolled her eyes. "Is there a talking cat convention going on or something?"

 

The cat laughed and floated up to her face to see her better. "A convention? Oh yes, that's very good. Very funny. You do remind me of another young girl I know." He continued grinning the whole time, with a grin that grew impossibly wide. "Perhaps you'll be meeting her, perhaps."

 

That sounded rather ominous to the girl Coraline.

My favorite Cheshire Cat line is: "Most everyone's mad here."

Heaven save me! The crisis,

the danger, is past

For chance at three wishes

is over at last-

And the damage it has done,

to another fool be passed.

 

Now I do know

that fate has greater might

than any wish I make

as I writhe under Destiny's sight,

I cannot undo- I know

Once the paw has closed tight

This looks like what I find when I clean out my shower drain.
