I keep hearing how Lambert's a grouch with a cactus permanently stuck up his arse (and yes, I realize I probably help it with what I publish).
The real Lambert behind that permanently annoyed facade is a passionate, good-humored man who fiercely stands up for his own. Also enjoys wine or mead when the company's good.
He's just... let's call it sleepdeprived recently. He does get a bit more himself when he's working, as you can (and will) see in the third issue. But hey, if you were haunted by weird pink ribbons every time you take a nap, you'd be cranky, too!
