Owlofcreamcheese posted:Dude, just put me on ignore, you have been doing this for YEARS two things: one, no, i haven't, you stopped posting here for like five years, and came back like...this spring? year before? either way, hardly the years of harassment and stalking you want to claim it is. two, your posts have been garbage for the ten plus years ive been on this deead gay website. your posts are bad. everything you post is bad. you whip yourself into a frenzy anytime someone questions you or else just bow out and cry. you've called me having autism about posters and just remembering poo poo stalking, when really its just i remember you being a shithead because i kvetched about goons self-diagnosing aspergers to get out of addressing that they were just assholes, because i wasnt going to therapy in a state with poo poo mental health resources when i was broke myself. you accused me of self diagnosing too. poo poo like that sticks in my craw. also, as stated above, i have autism, for posts gently caress off oocc. you have never contributed poo poo and nobody likes you. i've never contributed poo poo either but at least people like me. sometimes.

Pirate Radar posted:A friend’s take was “with all this hero worship following Stan Lee’s death, Jack Kirby would be rolling in his grave if Lee hadn’t stolen that too.”  Yeah, I’m sad he’s gone but he was pretty cutthroat. Key & Peele has a great sketch about him bull dozing everyone in a writer’s room.

My blistering take is that thunderdome was pointless when cspam existed and the Trump thread was bad because there was no push back and smashing them together is good as gently caress

Now that the news thread is operational, things are much better. USPOL is a good discussion, and I can aggregate events in the news thread. It's the best the forum has been in a couple years. New mod team is A+

I'm 31 and I enjoyed the gently caress out of dq11. In between typical protodad things like yardwork, grilling meat, doing dishes, etc of course. Oh and I totally drop down to five under if someone flies up on my rear end in the neighborhood. Don't speed in neighborhoods you loving assholes.

I remember at one time Don Rosa commented that it was weird for him that his new work was first printed in foreign languages because all the American Disney mags had been cancelled. e: Apparently there have been several gaps of one or more years since the 90s. 3D Megadoodoo fucked around with this message at 13:18 on Nov 13, 2018 |

cinci zoo sniper posted:ah, should’ve just said that it’s the inventor of fascist comics books for adults I don't give Stan Lee credit for much (most of it was Jack Kirby anyway) but he did legit talk about how he made almost all of his heroes liberal, because it was the only way to keep the inherent fascism of what they did in costume at bay. His other big artist collaborator (Steve Ditko) was a pretty huge Objectivist, so his Spider-man art had gross things in it like Spider-man attacking student protesters and the like. Lee was a huckster and a bit of a thief, not a Nazi.

i don't know, but it's still the "default" comic magazine for children and has good, simple language, stories which are reasonably compelling and characters which are decently nuanced this in stark contrast to almost everything else in commercial children's culture these days

children read donald duck and see a deeply flawed working class everyman with a bad temper and a massive chip on his shoulder who has to be bailed out by his nephews. nevertheless, he always tries to be there for them, and there is never any doubt that his affection for them is genuine it's an excellent way to gently introduce kids to the fallibility of well-meaning authority figures, and questions of personal dignity &c&c

When I was a kid, about 1/3 of Aku Ankka stories ended with him chasing the ducklings with a switch. The rest usually ended with uncle Roope chasing Aku with a blunderbuss, mallet, machine gun, or other weapon of destruction. e: they were very different times
