Watch Step
I feel the same way about DC’s announcement that Alan Scott (40’s Green Lantern) is gay as I did when the Republican party said that Sarah Palin was a good idea. Their heart was in the right place (?), but it seems like they only did it to make people stop calling them sexist homophobes. Also, because Marvel did it.
I’m not dissing the LGBT community - and if some people think this is a step in the right direction, that’s awesome.
But it’s 2012.
How the fuck are people so backwards-thinking that it took this long? I know, I know - there are many factors to this (sales, demographics,etc).
Fucking Sandman came out in 1989. That was essentially a DC thing (Vertigo), and it was pretty (very) popular. It proved that people were willing to read something other than stories about muscular men and women fighting the shit out of each other to ‘save the world’ every month week. It showed that readers could comprehend issues and concepts that DC would -tothisfuckingday- be too afraid to put in any of their other titles, for fear of an imagined *possible* backlash.
I get that not every writer is Neil Gaiman-quality. But he’s not the only amazing writer out there (it’s just that most of the amazing writers don’t want to work in mainstream comics).
Dear DC and Marvel - you are dying as comic book publishers because you refuse to leave your fucking house.
it would be even cooler if scientists found that song in the DNA of radioactivity-resistant bacteria.

Back when I drew ‘erotic comics’, I used my real name.
Besides the hype, besides the technical fuckups of NASDAQ, besides the overvaluation and offering too many shares during their IPO, I think the reason Facebook’s stock is failing as much as it is right now is that people have come to realize that Everybody’s Favorite Social Network is just too obnoxious, intrusive, and data-scrapingly assholish in the way it treats everyone from its most ardent users to, sadly, people on third-party platforms like, I dunno, TUMBLR, that perhaps want nothing at all to do with the privacy black hole that is Mark Zuckerberg’s dickishness incarnate but wake up and log on to find THIS UTTER BULLSHIT.
I go on Tumblr to be on Tumblr, Tumblr. Please leave the shitty Facebook tactics to Facebook.

this song, on repeat for the next hour or so.
I draw comics, play guitar, and I'm a bastard.
