The original " ... to sooth the savage breast" is the original quotation,
often mis-quoted as " ... to sooth the savage beast". It ranks up there
with "Alas poor Yorik, I knew him, Horatio" and "I can take it if she can --
play it Sam" as one of the most widely misquoted quotes. I suspect Byrne is
just a perfectionist.

I talked with Freff recently about D'arc Tangent, and yes he wants it bad.
He also had nothing bad to say about Phil. He said the lawyer-battle over
the comic was as hard/painful/bad as any custody hearing accompanying a
divorce. That seemed like a pretty good metaphore for the situation as it
affected Freff at least. It's a real shame they couldn't work out their
problems, they're both good people.
