Blarghalt posted:Angel Catbird A (formerly) trusted friend who worked at a comic book store recommended this book for my daughter as a Christmas present. Because I trusted this person, I bought the book and gave it to the 13 year old child. The child flipped through it, made a face, and never touched it again. Later that night I tried to read it and realized I had wronged the child greatly. We do not speak to this person any longer. Angel Catbird isn’t the reason why, but the recommendation is definitely a symptom of some of the problems with that person

Blarghalt posted:Merry Christmas, goons! 'Tis the season for jolly and cheer, which makes this post extra weird since it's probably gonna put you in a bad mood!! If I’m remembering the forward to this, Atwood explains this was an homage to the comics of her youth, when comics were weird and horny.

Not only do I have all three volumes of Angel Catbird, they're signed. (I won them at a charity auction for a Provincial Park) They're bad but I love them.

Is Angel Catbird worse/more messed up/trippy than the Cats movie?

Oh my god, I never thought I’d see a fever dream so realistically depicted. It’s downright schizophrenic. “So there’s this person, but she’s actually a cat. And she’s watching these tiny people, but they’re actually roaches. And then the roaches go upside down, and then a different person/cat eats one. And then suddenly they start dancing, and then the second cat tears off her skin, but it’s okay because there’s another coat of fur underneath, and then...”

It’s an amazing movie. That’s actually the worst scene and it’s at the very beginning; the rest is either a legit adaptation of the stage musical or so hilariously bad that you love it. It’s got Jason Derulo nearly sucking toes and naked Idris Elba, and Judi Dench has to be led by the hand everywhere because she’s basically blind now. Jennifer Hudson somehow manages to do the entire movie mid-sob with snot running down her nose.

I seem to recall Stephen Colbert (not very seriously) claiming that Atwood had swiped the idea of Angel Catbird from the "Prince Hawkcat" character he made up for Comic-Con.

It's a fun read even if you know nothing about the game, since they add all kinds of weird rules and extra stakes anyway. At one point the hero has to give up a bunch of his literal blood to exchange for cash to buy into the next round. It all takes place in one night. Oh also the outcome of the game is a foregone conclusion, it was revealed in Kaiji ages ago. The author is just drawing it out to an incredible extreme for fun.

i watched the anime adaptation and got really upset that they ended it on a cliffhanger. i'd watch the drama but i don't want the same thing to happen to me! i can only watch akagi defeat the blind mahjong player so many times!

That Conan panel reminds me of that absurd Batman story about how Rock and Roll records were the real killers! I don't remember what it was called, but it was clearly written by the world's oldest man, perhaps even an actual ghost.

Sure, you can read it on mangadex here, it hasn't been licensed outside of Japan. Also, apparently I was wrong, it finally ended last summer! Started in 1991, but the first arc is actually a different mahjong game, which makes the second arc lasting like 25 years even more strange, really.
