Lurdiak: Feb 26, 2006; I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.

Horrible Lurkbeast posted:

gently caress I'm tired, can someone else please post a shitload of cartoons and drown out the trans-thread flame war.

I've been saving these for a rainy day. It's time for part 2 of Steve Ditko's Avenging World!

Lurdiak posted:

^Click here for part 1!

Here we are back in familiar territory, principles are black and white and so is the world.

Gotta make sure you get that before we move on.

Do you get it yet? Are you understanding this visual metaphor that compromise is bad? It's important.

And now we see that if you're corrupted by compromise and evil, you'll no longer be able to live as a grumpy hermit who hates everyone and will instead seek solace in the company of others. The horror.

Naziism, slavery, communism, christianity, general murder and theft, and socialism are all equally bad compared to the one true ideology of objectivism.

See how much better that is? You too could live in the city from Metropolis if only you were an objectivist.

This is where it genuinely starts feeling like a weird cult thing. Every bad thing in the world is caused by Not My Worldview. The ~~tethans~~irrationality is infecting everyone!

Timecube.

Communism is bad, caring about anyone but yourself is bad.

People who want to compromise will murder you at the drop of a hat!

That's all for now. There's one more part to The Avenging world, and it's by far the most bonkers one, if you can believe it. I'll leave you with this essay by Ditko about original art, and a pamphlet he wrote about the "creation" of Spider-man.

Ditko's insane objectivism aside that's some real way too many words in your visual comics poo poo there. You were a good artist Ditko. Draw something.

I really wonder why there are so many nut jobs in comics. I mean is it really that much more common or is the world of comics is so small and insular it's more obvious. I don't even mean people with bad opinions like Frank Cho and Mike Miller, but full blown nuts like Ditko and Dave Sim and Frank Miller and John Byrne and Scott Dilbert etc...

He's not a nut so much as he is the biggest rear end in a top hat in the universe.

"John Byrne page on wikiquote posted:

On Racial semantics

There are lots of people who call black people �niggers.� Are both terms �right�? You seem to have missed the rather important point that my response indicated roughly the same percentage of fans and pros use the improper terms for various elements of what we do�but that percentage does not approach a balance. It is not that roughly half say �balloon� and half say �bubble.� It is that some say �bubble� and they are wrong.

Um...in point of fact there are plenty of people who use the word �friend of the family� because that is the word they use, not because they imagine it has any negative racial connotations. That�s precisely why I chose that word as my illustration.

On the death of Steve Irwin, "The Crocodile Hunter"

Okay, time for me to rain on this parade. I didn�t know he had kids. Young kids. This alters the mix considerably. This makes him an rear end in a top hat. Cops and firemen, to name but two, place their lives on the line every day to protect others. There was nothing Steve Irwin was doing that he could not have done�as did, say, David Attenborough�without putting his life at risk. This takes this from tragedy to stupidity, and, worse, irresponsibility.

I am glad this rear end in a top hat is dead. Sorry for his wife and kids, but relieved they are in no further danger from his lunacy!

This guy should have been taken out of the croc pen, had his kids taken from him, and been thrown in the deepest, darkest, dankest pit the Australian judicial system has to offer. Preferably after being skinned alive. rear end in a top hat is too good a word.

On the reconstruction of Jack Kirby's original FF #103, a project endorsed by Kirby's daughter, Stan Lee and inked by Joe Sinnott

I have no interest in this grave robbing.

On The Onion

The Onion lost all credibility for me a while back when they did a �story� on the Hudson River cleanup GE was forced to do. As some of you may recall, one of my neighbors is a GE veep, and he was directly in charge of this, so from him I found out all kinds of details the press did not bother to pass along to the public. Since The Onion apparently gets its info from other papers, the story was full of inaccuracies.

What are they, Michael Moore?

Anyway, I stopped reading The Onion from then on. (2005)

He thinks the leaks are the biggest problem with the Trump administration, and not the content of those leaks, so I don't see the contradiction.
