Does that basically mean they're just trying to keep him from suffering at this point, and the cancer is just going to take its course? Sorry if it's a stupid question, but I've not had much experience with cancer care.

Sorry if it's a stupid question, but I've not had much experience with cancer care. Usually, yeah. The term itself means a whole lot more, but people tend to mean the "we'll try to make you as comfortable as possible" stage.

Toph Bei Fong posted:Honestly, if you wanted to go for a dark reboot, Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines would be the way to go. The tale of a poor child courier, trapped behind enemy lines, desperate to keep his plane operational by any means necessary, pursued by a mad Nazi pilot and his increasingly deranged inventions, his constantly snickering hound, his cowardly yet omnipresent sidekicks... I kind of agree with you in principle but Turbo Kid is an awesomely hilarious movie full of horrible gore, and playing that movie dead serious would completely ruin it.

gently caress cancer. Cooke is one of my favourite must buy artists and I pretty much love everything he has drawn. I just hope he isn't suffering.

I'm not saying that it can't be done well. I'm one of the biggest Garth Ennis fans here, and one of the few who will write in favor of his Marvel Knights Punisher run. It's certainly a subjective thing. But, when this is what you're best know for? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ln2vDm4gzII Tame is a relative word I want to remain optimistic, but I'm not filled with confidence. I'd be happy to be proven wrong. edit: loving hell. Poor guy. I hope they can give him some blue pencil printed out Kirby pages to ink, if he can still hold a pen. He said in an interview that's what he used to do to relax... gently caress cancer. Toph Bei Fong fucked around with this message at 17:16 on May 13, 2016 |

I just learned that George Zimmerman is auctioning off the gun he used to murder Trayvon Martin. I am officially considering cryogenically freezing myself until 2016 is over.

I'm not in favor of killing anyone, even Zimmerman, but, hypothetically, if someone bought that gun just so they could kill Zimmerman with it, it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

Lurdiak posted:The best internet pranks are the ones that result in a murderer getting more money. We're talking to absurdly large heights like $65 million, which is basically the only way to prevent Zimmerman from getting money. If total assholes do a glorified DdoS by swamping the auctions with implausible/impossible bids that choke out total racists trying to buy the gun legit so they can display it next to their Nazi memorabilia, then basically every rear end in a top hat loses. The auction sites consider it more problem then it's worth, the transactions get choked out under the sheer weight of false ones, Zimmerman doesn't get his money and he's forced to sell it locally, where he gets much less money.

They've already had to cancel $65 million bids from Racist McShithead and Weedlord Bonerhitler among others, so at least the internet is responding correctly. I tried to register but I don't think the site believed me when I told it I was Donald Trump

It seems like a lot of people on twitter don't understand what palliative care implies with regards to Darwyn Cooke's situation. I don't have the heart to disillusion them.

Like I said elsewhere, I own practically everything he's every written or drawn and the idea of it being a complete collection is very depressing. Edit: Mike Allred and Gene Ha are both saying he has passed.

loving hell. I literally don't think he produced anything bad. Writer or artist, I can't think of anything he worked on that's not good. This is Dwayne McDuffie all over again.

It's just, my grandfather got diagnosed with incurable doom and somehow lasted 3 months, and he was a blind skinny 90 year old man. Either he was in palliative care for a while now, or it got really bad really fast.

Well I hope it's a mistake. Even so, post your favorite Darwyn Cooke art here if you'd like. I'm on my phone or I'd post that recent cover he did with Batman passed out asleep in his suit where Alfred is tending to him. I love that cover so much.

Either way, I still feel really bad for people who read an article written by someone who doesn't understand what palliative care means and are tweeting "Darwyn will beat this!" and such things. Like I thought it was just readers being confused, but apparently some people rewrote the original article and botched the part where he's BEEN fighting cancer and is now in palliative care and are reporting it as "Is fighting cancer". Those are not equivalent stories at all.

I'm on my phone and sadly it's saved on my work computer but if someone can post the artwork of an army guy armed with two grenades jumping into a T-Rex mouth from New Frontier that would be great. That is possibly the most badass thing ever drawn and Cooke made it look awesome.
