Why do you demand so much of me, Sarah?
Well, things are okay, I guess. I mean, I'm working on an International Society of Supervillains book (yes, you heard that right, folks), and that's chugging right along.
But man, I could really go for some superhero-themed formal wear.
Just what I always wanted! Because, as a comics fan, I am known for often wearing French-cut shirts to high-society events.
But I really feel like these cufflinks need to be reserved for a special occasion. They're those cufflinks that you keep for an event like your wedding or your funeral or a debutante ball where the person who is "coming out" emerges from a pool of clear goo and kills everyone.
Then, you can give them to your son (or son-in-law) on his wedding day (or at his funeral or at his own debutante ball), and you'll say, "These cufflinks were the best they were at what they did, my son. But what they did was very nice. They kept my cuffs closed because I forgot to buy a shirt with buttons."
You are dominating this high-demand market.
Just in case I need to see the fine detail in the brushed metal of your Wolverine cufflinks?
Okay. Why?
No, really. Why?

I happen to think those are smashing. Especially the snarling grimace. Because, really, if you're anywhere you have to have cufflinks, chances are you're not going to be happy about it. And this is a nice, subtle way of letting everyone know how angry you are you have to be there.

Good point. I think I'll wear a pair of those to the next monthly ISS meeting. That'll show em for making me take time out from my highly experimental "Henchman in bubbling hot oil" experiments.

The posting was a bit overboard, but the cufflinks are actually kind of well done. And fyi, I worked in publishing, I think the high-res image offering was for if you needed them for any printing purposes not to view any sort of detail.
Maybe it's time to up the meds a little bit King O.

Ah, yes, printing. For our monthly ISS magazine that doesn't exist. It all makes sense now.

The evil Greg maks a point. More meds is always a good thing!

well, i would think that the medication was to help you to like them. plus, it's all matter of good or bad taste. that's it. nothing overboard about it being on a comedy site.
but, don't fret all of you non-sarcastic, serious folk out there. King will have more fart and rape jokes headed your way!
