11 O'Clock Comics Episode 194

[Wood]

Man that in stock trades sale sounds tasty!
 
Might have to stick my dick in the mashed potatoes!
 

If I had'a known it was that kinda party...

[Wood]

Oh that Skyrim talk is like the geekiest I ever heard Wood sound. He needs to tip drill extra tough in Vegas to get rid of that.

Thank God I did not break down and buy a gaming system this past December... If I did, I wouldn't get anything done because of Skyrim.   


The Tiki

[Christopher Stark]

I swear,  I must be the only one that's not completely entranced by Skyrim.  I do enjoy playing but I also know when it's time to turn it off.

If I hadn't come down with a cold I might have taken the 40 minute plane trip out there just to say "what's up" ...

and kill a few hookers...

[leafinsectman (Dan)]

OH YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT!! THAT'S what I wanted to chime in for!!

Man, MOTHAFUCK those egghead bastards who decided Pluto's not a planet!!

Pluto

("And Pluto, little Pluto is the furthest planet fromt he suuun..." -SchoolHouse Rock)

has been in the sky longer than all the generations of humans that inevitably produced these wankers, and here they come with their newfangled definitions.

Reminds me of a certain "architect" of a certain comics company, and a certain title with the initials "F" and "F"; new people with their new ideas deciding things have to change.

Well I got a definition for them;

"The definition of planet, since the word was coined by the ancient Greeks, has included within its scope a wide range of celestial bodies. Greek astronomers employed the term asteres planetai (ἀστέρες πλανῆται), "wandering stars", for objects which apparently move over the sky. Over the millennia, the term has included a variety of different objects, from the Sun and the Moon to satellites and asteroids."

So by this definition alone,

PLUTO IS A FUCKING PLANET

Always has been.

To be fair;

The issue of a clear definition for planet came to a head in 2005 with the discovery of the trans-Neptunian object Eris, a body larger than the smallest then-accepted planet, Pluto. In its 2006 response, the International Astronomical Union (IAU), recognised by astronomers as the world body responsible for resolving issues of nomenclature, released its decision on the matter. This definition, which applies only to the Solar System, states that a planet is a body that orbits the Sun, is massive enough for its own gravity to make it round, and has "cleared its neighbourhood" of smaller objects around its orbit. Under this new definition, Pluto and the other trans-Neptunian objects do not qualify as planets. The IAU's decision has not resolved all controversies, and while many scientists have accepted the definition, some in the astronomical community have rejected it outright.

-definitions gotten from Wiki

Anyone else getting turned on by this?

I fucken called it when Rowland asked on Twitter where you were goin' next. Hope you had fun buddy!

I hope someone found the idea of this technique as interesting as I did, I have found no reference to him using this technique on the internet anywhere and was familiar with Jim Woodring's work prior to attending the panel and never thought that the lines were anything other than lines.
Hopefully this post makes sense, since I'm trying to beat a virus and my whole body is aching.

THANK YOU for sharing this information. It makes perfect sense in a Woodring kind of way.

Karma dump for the effort and the illumination.

An enjoyable show as always. In no way was it rough.

Steve Rude is an interesting case. Supremely talented yet temperamentally unsuited to working in the mainstream. The Dude has made it all too easy for editors to decide he's not worth the hassle. Sure would be great to see anything by him coming out of DC though. His line is so beautiful with a classical feel to it. As David stated, in terms of style I'd prefer pure Rude to Kirby homage.

Sin City starts off great with the original series & it's diminishing returns with each subsequent effort thereafter. Miller hit an astounding high with Dark Knight & then gradually declined to the mire that is  Holy Terror. Still, the man remains a hall of famer for his earlier works. Along with Alan Moore, the most important creator of mainstream comics in the last 30 years. It's a testament to the man's work that his name keeps coming up.

thanks for the shout out vince.

as far a steve rude and guys like that:
comics, wrestling acting sports and music are filled with this personality trait. guys that are their own worst enemy and think the world owes them one. the steve rude type would rather go poor than lower himself to do a run on a lesser book. he's going to end with a paltry career output. not that its quantity over quality, but you've been an artist for 30 years and for all your talent your output is quite small even in by modern standards. and for all his troubles, he'd be welcomed back with open arms if he just got his head right.

leifeld is a perfect example because there are some heinous stories about him. but he came around and owned up to it, allowing us to enjoy his work without have to apologize for his past transgressions.

steve rude is the comics equivalent to the ultimate warrior

[electric mayhem]

Sure.  But for me to get sucked in, it still has to "work" or make sense.

Want me to believe that X-23 can wear stilettos and stand on her tiptoes with the same foot that has a bone in the middle of it?  Tell me how.  Does the claw transport to another dimension when not in use? Does it collapse into itself like a police baton?  Give me something to work with.

and I get that.  I know with comics there are a "suspension of disbelief" but at what level is key for each of us.  Love the discussion!

now wheres that Mullet pic of Vince?
