Gravitas Shortfall posted:Dude probably invented some words, but the idea that he invented a LOT of them seems weird, since he was a popular playwright who needed his unwashed masses to understand what the gently caress everyone was saying (and laugh at the jokes) The counterpoint to this is that we have Shakespeare's contemporaries, Christopher Marlowe, Ben Jonson, Aphra Behn among others, and while they had their own splendid inventions they did not use all the same words. It's an ongoing debate as I understand it!

He was a witness in a court case, something that would not happen if he was goddamn Mother Goose. This is one of the weirdest versions of anti-Stratfordianism I've ever seen.

like a lot of comic fans of a certain age, I devoured "The Encyclopedia of Super Heroes" as a kid, and I was always fascinated by some of the weird poo poo that was chosen for inclusion, like Scripture-Man: "Character-wise, Scripture-Man is underdeveloped." I cannot find a thing about this magazine or character anywhere on the internet.

"Snagt" that's the iconic sound that Wolverine's claws make? Right? Also, it can't be healthy to have veins so big that I could fit my thumb in them.

That's from an alternate universe, so it's actually clever to have the claws make a similar bit different sound.

It's always weird to me how in older comics almost all of the narration is basically just describing what's in the panel. Kind of defeats the purpose of the medium "Suddenly, a fire breaks out!" - Image of a building on fire and people running "A tiger leaps from the shadows of the jungle!" - Drawing of a jumping tiger "Superman uses his xray vision to find Luthor in his secret lab" - Picture of... Well, you know. I wonder at what point comics began to move away from this trope because it used to be like having a movie where a narrator describes exactly what the character is doing on screen. "As he walks down the deserted beach, Tom Hanks spots some FedEx boxes washed up on the shore!" "He opens the first box and finds...some ice skates!"

Kind of defeats the purpose of the medium Like the early early days they probably didn't really know the vernacular of comics, or even what sequences readers could imply from omitted and displayed information. It feels like they took their cues from radio scripts more than early film.

Scaramouche posted:It feels like they took their cues from radio scripts more than early film. Just then, Scaramouche makes a post using his SPACE FACE avatar as BiggerBoat reads it. BiggerBoat is lights a cigarette and begins typing a reply *drawing of me at a typewriter, smoking* ... I hadn't thought of that but it makes a ton of sense, especially since so many superheros had radio serials and TV was still in its relatively infancy. I guess even film, for the most part, hadn't entirely evolved into "show don't tell" and comics, when they did adapt elements of film, were using the storytelling devices of the PSA's that ran in theaters (Sally Goes to the School Dance. Johnny Learns Not to Shoplift), which relied heavily on overt narration, and not learning from Hitchcock, John Ford and Orsen Wells just yet. It's interesting to think about and I frame it along similar lines to just how little photo reference illustrators had back then that put obvious limitations on the art. I mean, think about the legwork required just to get a picture of a WW2 bomber plane or a tank that helps you draw those things. I like to look at the evolution of comics in ways that put it into proper context (societal, technical, cultural, etc.) and remind myself of the limitations the creators faced.

I hated it and still do. I remember classic McMahon Dredd, which was always blocky but you could see the effort. That strip is just a quick sketch. Everything good about it comes from the late Tom Frame, who is for my money the best letterer ever to work in the business. An unsung hero, as letterers always are, but a hero nonetheless.

The inking on this one is really weird, the pencils obviously mark the highlights on the characters for coloring but they've been inked, and with the same line weight as everything else. I kinda like it though.

I think it works better for some things than it does for others. The golem looks great, but the thick lines around differently coloured areas combined with their saturated colour scheme makes the hedgehogs look like chromed robots.

The latest transformers comic has some pretty decent art at the start of the issue. However, for whatever reason the last pages are pretty bad. I mean some of it made me think of good quality Paint images. Something falls, something appears  I don't really know. Looks like they're dancing. That winged beast by the way, does it fly off? Is it thrown off? You can't really see from his motion or the motion from the big grey one.
