Among the talk of resolutions, retribution, and 08 reflections there's been even greater talk of a web-comic with (as dubbed by Gabe) 'the cortina crew'. Since we talked of it for over the last 6 months, it best go down this year, and chill it will be.
I feel like compiling a new years list. Maybe it'll catch on next year. Maybe it'll just be a wonderful exercise in procrastinating my article due in t minus 3 hours. But here goes!
