Happy Feet Two...BILLION DOLLARS!

You're welcome.

In the car my wife asked "What the hell is JMS and FF?". I answered "Oh, J Michael Straczynski, a writer, is taking over "Fantastic Four" the comic". First off, I was impressed she bothered (or was able) to memorize the acronyms and second, I hadn't even realized the conversation was obscure at the time.

Anyway, this is Cerebus in case anyone was curious:
