As you might expect, my evenings are usually spent in front of the computer, searching desperately for a new joke to make about Jimmy Olsen, but apparently, I’ve been getting out at night a lot more than I think.
That, at least, is the idea that I got from noted raconteur Dave Lartigue, who sent the following email out to a few of us on the Comics Blogger Internet circuit:
Subject: Chris Sims appeared to me in a dream
No foolin. And he had this character, though sometimes it was a character for a superhero RPG and sometimes it was for a music video for a band (not the guy, apparently) named Vanderslice.
The character did not have a name that I know of, but it was described thusly: Half-Cowboy, Half-Indian, All Robot. Despite “all robot” it looks human except for a robot clow for a right hand. From the waist up he’s dressed in a movie cowboy outfit — hat, bolo tie, etc. Waist down it’s a loincloth and sandals.
Yes, apparently, the Master Plan for Total Internet Domination now extends well into the subconscious mind.
Of course, that would just be a crazy dream, but the story doesn’t quite end there. See, right after I read the email, I remembered that I’d seen something written on the legal pad I keep on my bedside table, just in case I get any ideas while I’m too lazy to actually get up. So I went back into my room, almost terrified of what I might find. But why?
I mean, it was all a dream, right?

SWEET CHRISTMAS
YIKES!
Does this mean that we’ll see a Vanderslice/Solomon Stone crossover?
Clearly, Vanderslice will be featured prominently on the soundtrack for Solomon Stone: Enter: Solomon: Stone Me Deadly: The Movie: Part I: The Origin of Solomon Stone.
I like the little scroll you used to sign the picture.
“This Tomahawk was shot from a gun…there’s only one sheriff who does that…”
Well done, Sims, now: GET OUT OF MY MIND
I noticed you did not make his right hand a robot clow

Although I’m not sure how he can have a township for a right hand.
On a related note – has anyone ever seen Criss Angel and Sanjaya in the same room together?
There’s got to be some sort of medication for that.
So… the little tinfoil hats aren’t working, are they?
Drat.
Holy shit! I had a dream that I read an ISB entry about a guy who saw Vanderslice in a dream! And then Chris Sims showed a picture that looked just like that! And then I wrote a comment that looked just…like…oh, my God! NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Man, if that drawing you did was wearing sandals, I’d be freaking out right about now. Thankfully because the shoes are different its easy to chalk this one up to our old friend, coincidence! *phew*
No more bonghits before bed for Lartigue.
