10.11.07 by Widge @ 3:51 pm ![]() Ladies and gentlemen, the new and supposedly improved Captain America. And here's my question: why the hell is he shiny? My Captain America is NOT shiny. In fact, Doc was asking about the gun, and I didn't even notice the gun because I was too blinded by the goddamn shiny to see it. Maybe that's secret weapon. It's to blind his enemies and reader and keep things moving for the inevitable "Who is Captain America?" six-issue story arc followed by another six-issue story arc with him fighting as Captain America and then the return of Steve Rogers a year from now. What's that? You're certain Steve Rogers is for-real dead? Of course he is, sweetheart. Categorized as: Comics

10.10.07 by Widge @ 3:07 am ![]() Everyone knows Winsor McCay. He created Little Nemo in Slumberland. He created Gertie the Dinosaur. He also created Dream of the Rarebit Fiend, a comic strip about what happens when you dream after eating a bit too much of something (sometimes Welsh rarebit) before bed. Wonderfully drawn and decidedly whacked, it ran from 1904 to 1913. Now, who is Dr. Ulrich Merkl? Well, we'll tell you that in a moment. But first, let's tell you what Dr. Merkl has done: he's self-published The Complete Dream of the Rarebit Fiend. As you can tell from the dimensions in the picture there, it's a foot tall and seventeen inches across, to give the comic strips reprinted within enough room to be reproduced at their original size. The book weighs about ten pounds. In other words, it's only slightly sturdier than a Roman soldier's shield and could probably be used to stop small caliber bullets.

10.09.07 by Widge @ 7:22 pm ![]() Chazzie-nominated Jamie Smart, creator of the wonderfully demented comic Bear, has pointed out something really damn dumb: somebody updated a Calvin and Hobbes strip, removing the word "video" and replacing it with "DVD." Jamie's rant is spot on: this irritates me on two main points. one, that whoever changed this is presuming we are so fucking backwards we don't know what videos are, and can only communicate in modern day ipod-talk (y nt chnge th txt to txt tlk, cuz we r so fick?). two, that someone went into a drawn piece of art, cut out a chunk, and replaced it, because they thought it best. you can't do that. Read the whole thing here. Next thing you know, we're going to have Charlie Brown checking his e-mail inbox since people don't send a lot of written correspondence anymore. Also, we might want to "correct" the dialect of Pogo since it might confuse people. Bleh. Categorized as: Comics
