Dr. Horrible's Sing-along Blog

Joss Whedon, creative mind behind Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Firefly is once again out to entertain with this mini web series "Dr. Horrible's Sing-along Blog". I enjoyed the three part story but I am unsure whether the sad ending truly matched the funny tone of the rest of it or if it was even necessary.

I belive it was a very interesting experiment on the part of "Mutant Enemy" the creative company. Sadly after today, the 20th of July, the site won't be showing the story for free anymore (or so they say in the Master plan part of their website). If you're still interested the site can be found here.

P.S I added three new sketches.

The Chronicles of Chrestomanci

While visiting The Book Den I happened to come across two books by Diana Wynne Jones called The Chronicles of the Chrestomanci. For those of you who don't know Diana is the writter of the very popular Howl's Moving Castle which was adapted into an animated movie by Studio Gibli.

These two books were a delight The Title of "Chrestomanci" is given to the most powerful enchanter in the many worlds. This Enchanter always starts off with nine lives. It is their job to monitor and stop the misuse of magic. The Chrestomanci these four tales center around is Chistopher Chant. In the first two stories contained in Volume 1 we get know about the Chrestomanci and his family through the eyes of Eric Chant, after he and his sister are orphaned and Chrestomanci adopts them.

In the second story we get to now of Eric's child hood and how he came to be the Chresomanci. The next two stories also follow child protagonist but this time Chrestomanci plays the roll of Deus ExMachina. He arrives near the end of the story to help solve the problem.

I fond both books to be enjoyable reads and a welcome distracrion from drawing for a week. If you get the chance to read "The Chronicles of Chrestomanci" don't pass it up.
