Thank you!

Discworld is awesome or at least I love it a lot. It started out as a fantasy/RPG parody, but ended up making fun of just about everything in human nature, and making some pretty good observations thereof in the process - and the (thousands of) characters are fantastic.

Reg Shoe the zombie is so funny - he's a spokesperson for undead rights, and is often seen wearing a badge that says "Glad to be Grey" or "Undead yes - unperson no!" The teen vampire is a fairly late addition to the cast, and was mainly there to bounce the werewolf off (featured in her wolf-form), but she's fun to draw. :D And Vimes. God. You have to read the books. He goes from a loser to SUCH a winner in the space of a couple of books.

Ahem. Yes. I kind of fangirl. :D

*blink* Wow. Diagrams.

*blink* That's actually very helpful...

Okay, so can I start with "Guards Guards" and move from there?

Definitely! That's what I'd recommend. I can't decide if I like the guards or the witches best. Just. Love. :D
