Blind Date 2004 is over! And, well, it went like a lot of blind dates. There were a lot of matches made in heaven, some matches made in hell, and a few people that were left waiting by the phone (metaphorically), twiddling their thumbs or plotting bloody revenge (hopefully metaphorically).
Take a look, enjoy the collaborative efforts of these randomly-paired love-crazed artist types, and take the time to check out their comics and sites, okay? They'll love you for it.
