DISCLAIMER: I can't guarantee the reliability of this report. Essentially,
the Legion chats involve about fifteen fans shouting repeated questions to
the creators. The creators are sometimes unable to answer questions
thoroughly or clarify their responses. As a result, misinterpretations may
occur on my part.
SPOILERS: Information that spoils current or upcoming issues is found
toward the end of this report. There's no spoiler space to separate such
info from the more general comments.

:=========================:
Jeff pointed out that his final issue, L* #78, marks his sixtieth issue on L*.
At the moment, Jeff is too busy to accept commissions.
Jeff's website has been shut down because he supposedly violated one of
Fortunecity's regulations about advertising. He tried to resolve the
problem and reactivate his site there, but he'll probably take the site to
somewhere that isn't so restrictive.
In his Legion of Super-Pets proposal, Jeff wanted Sensor to turn into a
human, with the option of remaining that way, or returning to her snake
form. Jeff would've chosen to eventually make her a snake again.
Jeff still hasn't done that sci-fi oriented "Basic Training" feature for
WIZARD that he mentioned a while ago, and they haven't been pressuring him,
so he guesses it's "up in the air."
Tom thinks that of the Super-Pets, Comet would have the worst face for
playing poker, and Proty would have the best.
Tom pointed out that Dr. Deacon, while revealed to be a machine at the end
of LSH #117, was a living machine (like Gear in the same issue), so he
could indeed be affected by Sensor's illusions.
After his work on L* is finished, Jeff has at least one project lined up
for WIldstorm. He said it's a "higher profile project with various
artists," but that's about all he can say for now.
Jeff snuck a cameo of Buffy the Vampire Slayer into the beach issue, L* #77.
