Agent Boucher Shyluk Style

After seeing my faux SHIELD ID for Agent Sylvia Boucher, Jeff offered to create comic-style art in place of the original photograph. I suggested something Kirby-esque might be appropriate, and voila, Jeff has delivered in spades as always. Here Sylvia looks like a blonde version of Kirby's late-period character Beautiful Dreamer of the Forever People/New Gods - it's really in the eyes, lips and cheekbones...and of course the trademark Kirby dots in the background.

I hope Jeff will post the large version on his blog, JSVB. It's really something to behold. And I should mention that Jeff is a professional, working artist; I've commissioned his work a couple of times and he's always delivered above and beyond my expectations.

PVR Mixup

I should do a little work tonight, but instead I think I'll take a break and catch up on the shows stored on our PVR. Yes, every once in a while it's good to relax with Person of S.H.I.E.L.D., Agents of Arrow and The Tomorrow People of Interest...or was that Arrow of S.H.I.E.L.D., The Tomorrow Interest and Person of People..?

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Yesterday's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was better than most Joss Whedon pilots, which means the show that follows could be even more amazing than Firefly, Dollhouse, or maybe even Buffy or Angel. Time will tell.

As Agent Grant Ward noted in yesterday's episode, "Someone really wanted our initials to spell S.H.I.E.L.D." In the show, the initials stand for Strategic Homeland Intervention, Espionage and Logistics Division. That's pretty tortured. Surely the writers could have come up with something smoother, like...

Super Hot Insanely Erotic Living Dolls
Shadow Hegemony In Extremis Living Dominion
Special Hazard Ignition Explosive Lethal Demolitions
Silly Hippies In Extremely Ludicrous Denial
Soldiers, Hunks, Ingenues Evade Lethal Danger
Sacrificed! He Is Exact Life-Model Decoy

And of course...
