About the comics - no, really. All I know is that I read somewhere that it's hard to make things look simple, and that appears to be the case! But thank you very much. :)

Love that nobody has hands, which makes Hand all the more special.

Yay! I love that too, and I wish I could say it had been my plan all along. But really, I just can't draw hands (cf the Hand), so they would have all looked the same, and it would have detracted from the Hand.

And go right ahead with the icon! Will it be a dirty-faced, Jesus-posed icon? Guh.
