Keeshhound posted:Oh, that children's book with the literal yellow face art? Yeah, that was my introduction to it too, but the actual legend is still pretty cool. Well, that and "Rikki-Tikki Tembo" where the moral of the story is "That's why Chinese people have short names" You know, when you're 5 and someone reads that to you you don't think much about it, but looking back, holy poo poo.

I don't recall, were there issues with the Br'er Rabbit stories themselves or just the Song of the South?

Well, if you mean the original Uncle Remus stories, many folks do have issues with Remus himself, who is pretty much the ideal plantation slave: docile, amiable, and devoted to his white "family." Plus they're written in dialect, which is always tricky to deal with.

I also give Mark Waid my money even though he feels people who are critical of comic writers should be punched in their "smug-rear end faces." So, you know, buy what you like/enjoy and stop worrying about the politics of the writer?

darthbob88 posted:Well, compromise. Accept that there's no such thing as ethical consumption, and that the quality of a product is separate from the beliefs of its creator(s), but don't be ashamed to boycott somebody who thinks Captain Hydra is a good idea. This seems fair. Don't expect anything to be pure, but don't let that stop you from avoiding things that are dirtier than you like.

A very important corollary to that is "don't pick fights with people if their threshold for" too dirty" is stricter or looser than your own" too.

Okay. I'm noticing that we're drifting further into a tangent that involves a very distinct lack of funny panels being posted or discussed so heres some more stuff from the last issue of Nova. One covered up for spoilers.  Richard lives, boys and girls!  I'll miss Old Man Rider complaining about the young'uns putting on their supertights.

A year before that issue dropped, an animated film about gnomes aired on CBS. It was based on a book from 1976 about gnomes. (I have a copy somewhere.) That book was also the inspiration for David the Gnome. All I can think is that the writer, or the editor, or someone, got seriously jazzed up about gnomes.

One person is posting what they consider to be a funny panel like the thread politely asks us to. One person is just jumping into the thread to complain about one writer they dislike and contributing nothing else in said post every single time said author is mentioned or posted regardless of context. Which one sounds more annoying?
