He's singling out oversexualized depictions of women in comics for ridicule. Hawkeye just gets the job.

The PC version of the Spider-Man 2 game had web icons floating above the middle of the street. You had to aim at them with your mouse. It was pretty bad.

A neat thing about the open-world Spider-Man games is that your weblines would not fire if you were above the skyline. They still seemed to attach to points in thin air.

See, I remember Spider-Man 2 on the console requiring you to websling off of real objects. Bruce Campbell made a big deal out of it at the start of the game. Now, those objects could be skyscrapers, antennas, lampposts, the aforementioned passing helicopter... trees if you were in Central Park. I'm sure the game fudged your aim for you but I don't recall the webline anchoring in thin air, unless it was the sort of thing where the helicopter's hitbox extended between its landing skids, so it looked like the line was dangling a foot below the fuselage. Which, given that it was the original Xbox/PS2, is excusable.

Webslinging in that game was fun as poo poo.

He didn't, though. In fact, he was pretty chill about it, saying "I seriously doubt that there is any negative intent there. And a lot of rock & roll songs sound alike." Though he did get his publisher to send a C&D letter to George W. Bush for using one of his songs without permission,

Have you read American Barbarian or any of Tom Scioli's other stuff? It sounds like he kind of idolizes Kirby and has consciously pushed himself to draw similarly. I don't think it's accurate to call it a parody when that is all he does, and it's not meant in jest or mockery.



E: The coloring in TF vs Joe does remind me a lot of the 80's comics, but the linework is all Tom's style.

warp spasm

Shorn of context, I thought a "warp spasm" might be something from WH40K that was similar to the way buddy was drawn, and buddy was drawn that way to emphasise his alienating brutality. Kind of like how Fist of the North Star drew dudes as gigantic to show they were tough and monstrously self-important.

But nope it's an actual mythological thing (that sounds like it was written to describe a rage of alienating brutality). Viking bearshirts got nothing on a warp spasm. Holy O'gently caress.

Meh, not that different from Osamu Tezuka's "Star System" I suppose, but for the fact that he clearly "casts" his "actors" onto set characters with very recognizable looks that don't match at all, like Indy up there.

Oh, let's talk Indy. I remembered that there was preproduction art for Raiders that portrayed Indy as much more of a dark-haired rock-jawed adventurer than Harrison Ford... I didn't understand at the time who the artist was, so I didn't remember his name.

It was Jim Steranko.

I'm pretty sure he didn't originally draw it that way, it was 4 panels with the viewpoint panning down and someone mocking him stitched them all together. Still a really bad drawing effort but not as blatant as that. I can't find the original panels though :shrug:

I looked the comic up because something about the pacing or the dialogue sounded suspiciously British Comics. I don't know what it is, exactly, but sometimes you can just tell. Anyway, yeah, it's out of Dredd/2000 AD, and the artist is friggin' Quitely.

You know when you're sleeping, and you're just on the verge of waking up, and you stretch your legs out cause it feels so nice, but you stretch just that little bit too far and your calf muscle goes "hey whAT THE gently caress" and you're rocketed awake by the shooting pain in your lower legs and you've got approximately eight seconds to haul yourself out of bed and stretch that muscle out by doing the "try to push the wall over" exercise, otherwise the muscle will roll itself up like a cheap window blind and you'll be hobbling around the office all morning?

I don't tend to notice actual people's teeth when they're talking, unless they're particularly dingy or snaggly or they have a bit of broccoli in there. I think drawing the individual teeth calls attention to the teeth, in the same way that drawing the little facial wrinkles we all express when we emote draws attention to them as wrinkles and can make a comic character look older than they ought to.
