And judging by Yul Brynner in the top three panels there, he had not yet mastered the art of consistent hat sizes.

I was curious if he was THAT John Carpenter, who lived in Kentucky years ago. But Google says that this John Carpenter is just some sports memorabilia collector.

Imagine being the kind of person who is a professional visual artist and happily publishes this embarrassment of a cover.

e: it takes a real special kind of incompetent to have this level of white edges and not even have them consistent around all contours.

I've enjoyed the couple of times i just knew something looked bad and then a graphic designer or visual artist would explain exactly why and where - it's like "ahhhh! i KNEW there was something really crappy about it! and that's what it is!"

This video is my favorite because it hits that exact level of quality where I'd have an equally easy time believing that it's made earnestly by a legit Luann superfan, or by somebody of the same mindset of this thread's readers for a laugh.

The only good thing about the Luann album is that there's a long Youtube comment chain under the "Hey Boy" video about whether Yank is a derogatory term for Americans.

Phantom's wedding (1977): http://comicskingdom.com/blog/2012/12/26/ask-the-archivist-the-phantom-wedding/

quote:

For a wedding ring, The Phantom presented Diana with one carved out of a single huge diamond, one that previously had been worn by the bride of Roman emperor, Augustus.


The next adventure is the last complete storyline written by Lee Falk (there's another one but it's more like a fever dream than a story). Spoilers: There will be no criminals.

I checked out the Mandrake wiki and looks like the wedding bombing plot never got a conclusion.

And yet his goons still felt the need to break in to the DNC. Say what you will about Nixon, at least his team didn't have so much blind faith in political "experts" to leave anything to chance.

There's a Mandrake wiki?

edit: confusing my political facts. Also ↓ yes it's easy to forget that once upon a time Mandrake did have an actual pop culture presence. That out-of-nowhere reference in Foucault's Pendulum still gets to me.

Mandrake was even parodied in "Robot Chicken" (along with "The Phantom" and "Flash Gordon", the joke being that all three are owned by the same company). I get the feeling that if any 20 to 30-somethings know what "Mandrake" is, it's because it was referenced in that show
