I can't believe I'm saying this, but that comparison is an insult to Garfield.

Alright having managed to track down a ripped version of the interview with the LA Times, which was October 2021, it specifically said Pink Cat had the makings of a Gen Z Garfield and also the account had 240k followers on Instagram which is like, yeah that's a good amount of people but if you're in the sigma grind hustle mindset that's really on the low end of things considering how Instagram works and how loving mercurial and predatory it is. I'm not gonna say that's not nothing, that's clearly something, but the article also reads like it's just a piece talking about a local artist that got mildly popular in a big place like California and is unknown pretty much everywhere else.

And in TYOOL 2022 their number of followers on Instagram has grown to 241K so it's not like they've exploded since.

Not sure if this is the right place but I bought a 7 dollar comic from TFAW and they charged me 26 dollars to ship it 30 miles. I think that’s terrible.

I talked to someone and what the deal is apparently when I set up the account 10 or so years ago the two day or express option was selected on the account. This is the first time I've used it in years (i went and looked and the last order was so long ago it isn't listed in the history) and I didn't recall that. The shipping was "estimated" at the time of order and they used that old setting to set up shipping when it came into stock. I'll take part of the blame, however the cost should've been given to me before the item charged and shipped. I can't think of another online retailer who manages shipping preferences in this way. So, pay attention to your settings if you decide to order from them.

the What If: Miles Morales was Thor comic that came out yesterday is being criticized online for perceived racist stereotypes, and the writer doesn't seem to be responding to criticism very well, though at least he hasn't reached full meltdown I guess https://twitter.com/borgposting/status/1537818344992256001 https://twitter.com/soloman_bt/status/1536780697855086592 https://twitter.com/ymercado/status/1537160872354783235 https://twitter.com/ymercado/status/1536831539606077440 https://twitter.com/ymercado/status/1536822632267534336

Miles has joined the rarified company of the New Teen Titans lineup where the comics version of his poo poo is arguably the worst version the difference is he has a successful movie and video game for bright spots, whereas the Titans have a cartoon, and then a cartoon that is a parody of their first cartoon

Into the Spider-Verse is my only real exposure to Miles, especially since the game is playstation exclusive (though I think both spider-man games are coming to PC later this year)

The only thing I know about the core Miles Morales book, other than his bad new costume, is that he has a nonverbal clone that is goopy like Venom, yet he still treats him better than Peter treats Ben and Kaine

I still think the record for the overall worst treatment of spider-clones goes to Ultimate Spider-man, where one issue after multiple clones of spider-man are revealed doctor octopus murders one of them (who is actively assisting spider-man) on-panel in front of Peter and nobody ever seems to care beyond 'oh no, doctor octopus is more dangerous than we thought!' because although he was a teenager he had extra arms and weird spider-hair so it doesn't count.

Fiction sometimes treats clones like meat robots without souls, and they more often than not just appear fully grown (or at the same age as the original), are totally verbal, and sometimes even have the same memories as the original. In actuality a clone is just basically a twin. I think Marvel had Peter's clone crumble to dust at the end of the original clone saga

But Ben had been shown to be a separate person by that point.

I would've figured Mercado for a shoo-in on a Miles/Thor story after his Sci-Fu books merged so many cultural touchpoints pretty well, but oh well.
