You're welcome.

While I do not want him to stop drawing THOR, if given a choice between his
drawing-and-not-writing it or writing-and-not-drawing it, I'd choose the
second. I agree that his art isn't up to what he is capable of, but I still
like it. I also very much agree about his BATTLESTAR GALACTICA work --- ahhh!
the Cylon Mark III ("there *is* no comparison").

Good, I'm glad you've finally been won over.

I never minded Barr portraying Batman as slightly off his rocker, but I always
felt that he had Bats doing things that were totally out of character. I have
to admit that since the Kobra storyline started, Barr's been managing fairly
well.

Yes, it was nice, but it was already done by Chevy Chase in FLETCH.
