News, art, and adventures in veganism
I drew Heather a picture!

Here’s some of my older Harley stuff, too, if you haven’t seen it:

What is it about Harley Quinn that makes her so much fun to draw?
Yep, it’s a long-ass post full of Gaga stuff. Either skip it or deal with it. As a matter of fact:
(Yes, I just made that .gif. Things I do instead of being productive!)
So I posted a while ago on Facebook about the Lady Gaga comic book coming out… it’s been out for a little while now, and I’ve finally seen a positive review of it! Well, kind of. Somebody who didn’t hate it, anyways.
The Lady Gaga Comic Book Is Not Narrated From The Perspective Of Lester Bangs, Alas
I really shouldn’t judge it by the artwork (which is really not my style, to say the least). I should give it a chance; if I’m enough of a tool to keep buying the ‘Army of Darkness’ comics, can’t I chance a couple bucks on this? I don’t know. If any of you read it, let me know what you think of it / whether you think I’d enjoy it.
And now, video spam!
First off, a remake of the Telephone video by some dudes in Afghanistan. I love it! (Though I’m surprised they’re not worried at all about being DADT-ed… they’re funny about stuff like that sometimes…)
(I thought I posted this weeks ago, but it turns out it was sitting in my “drafts” folder and never actually got posted. Daaaaamn.)
I’ve got some links to share with you today. Mostly fun, with one that’s sad.
First of all, an interview with Bill Watterson!
Bill Watterson, creator of beloved ‘Calvin and Hobbes’ comic strip looks back with no regrets
This is pretty significant since Watterson is notoriously reclusive and interviews with him are very rare. And, to tell the truth, this may be the first time I’ve seen an actual photo of him. Adorable!
So, NGL, I’m excited about this:
Batman XXX Porn Director To Launch New Vivid Line Featuring Superman, Green Hornet, Spider-Man, Wonder Woman, Captain America, Thor and Hulk
Most of them I’m excited for for the sheer WTF factor, though, yeah, I am legitimately excited for the Wonder Woman one. (Haven’t seen the Batman one yet, but I need to!)
Now for the horrible downer… one of the greats is gone.
Frank Frazetta 1928-2010
Frazetta and Vallejo have always been, to me, THE fantasy artists. I wish I had something more eloquent to say about this. What a loss, but what a legacy.
Lots to talk about today! All right, first off…
‘No excuse’ for teen’s Taser death, mother says
Cops kill another kid – - one who didn’t do anything, no less. Where the hell is the outrage?

Emily the Strange Sues Possible Inspiration Source
Fight Over Comic Character Emily Strange Lands in Court
All right, so… blatantly copying someone else’s work and passing it off as your own? Kind of sleazy. Promoting your (stolen) work with a message of the importance of being unique and being yourself? That’s a bit sleazier, but, y’know, not worth calling for blood, especially since it was just one piece that they retired a while back anyways. And after all, I think it’s arguable that they didn’t steal the character design, just that particular piece of art.
But… pre-emptively suing the people you stole from so they won’t defend their work? That’s pretty reprehensible. Like, really, really sleazy. I confess, they’re not losing much business from me since I was never into Emily to begin with, but please, don’t support this.
When I first saw the original piece and the Emily piece side-by-side, I started to have a flashback to the whole David & Goliath plagiarism issue, but upon re-examining the evidence, there’s no way Cosmic Debris could ever, ever be as bad as Todd Goldman.
Douchebag.

Lead law imperils old children’s books
Kids’ books are being destroyed. FUCK THAT. I’ve been hearing about this for a while, but it didn’t sound like it was actually going to endanger any books or book dealers. Guess I was wrong!
Sorry, seeing books destroyed really, really upsets me. Especially old books. Makes me want to hoard them to protect them.

Now… to end on a happy note…
Cool guys don’t look at explosions.
Just… watch the video. I laughed till I just about cried.
