Or so said the local TV station advert before the LOST season premiere last night.

I'm a huge fan of the show, it's probably one of my fave network series in a long time, as I'm a fan of serial conspiracy shows. (remember X-Files? sigh...) It's been a long off season since we saw the passengers from the ill fated Oceanic flight, fend for themselves on the mysterious island. So long, in fact, that there are many things/events in the show that I had either forgotten, or chose to purge from my memory due to how much pain they caused. One such event was the death of our favorite hobbit, Charlie. Though his death late last season wasn't a surprise, how it affected me was. I mean, losing my fave character from a show can be pretty disheartening, especially when you love the show.

Well, last night's premiere dealth a lot with Charlie's death, and it opened the flood gates to some sad, pissed offedness on the part of yours truly. I even for half a second thought, maybe he isn't dead. We are in the realm of comic books, sci-fi, fantasy and general otherworldlyness. Even when he appeared in Hurley's delusion and stated that he was "dead, and also here", I thought, "YES! He magically survived the explosion!" We could just chalk it up to one of the island's many mysteries. But alas. It was only a vision.

Alas, indeed.

Anyway, it was Thursday yesterday, so I uploaded a new KC comic.

Over the course of my time working on KISSING CHAOS, I've had issues with some of my friends and peers about my dialogue. Some people say how the cast converses is exactly how they talk, other people I know say they don't know anyone who sound like my characters. So as I write I often struggle with how I let me kids express themselves, fearing who might be reading it at any given moment, and if they will understand some of the jokes and what not. But lately, with 'TIL I DIE being created weekly, almost, in the moment, I find my dialogue and some of the situations being very true to life, capturing a snapshot of something I've experienced in the past week. Almost like a diary entry. With this immediacy, I find the dialogue being ripped straight out of my friends mouths, and I kinda like the feel it gives the stories. It's a little less calculated, but more visceral. A little more real.

I'm not convinced as to whether this is a good thing or a bad.
