Went to see The Incredibles today.
Let’s just say I owe Disney an apology. Great characters, amazing animation. I’d bitch about the somewhat underdeveloped, predictable storyline but the wife would kick my butt. Superpowers indeed! ;)

Pat Boone and Lois Lane are singing a new song about ME! It’s a great tune, but I must use all my super-powers to prevent it from becoming a hit!
Surreal, funny, subversive, no dialogue, outstanding drawings. Down with Disney junk — “Les Triplettes De Belleville“ has to be the best animated movie I’ve seen in many years.
Here’s some very cool comic sites, by way of The Morning Improv: Evil Space Robot (interesting “how I did it“), Nedroid (heheh) and Deadmouse (not quite so comic-al). Which reminds me I should start putting up some of my stuff here again…
I thoroughly envy Robert Crumb. Not for his shall-we-say wacky family background, mind you. It’s his incredible drawing talent I envy – combined with the sort of merciless self-criticism that only the truly great inflict upon themselves.
Art? I would say it is. Here at Casa Barry I frequently find myself perusing “La Historia De Mi Vida“, “Mis Problemas Con Las Mujeres“, “Mode O’Day” and “El Gato Fritz” for inspiration (spanish editions procured by Dr Sharleena, which is good because since my knowledge of spanish is limited to melon con jamon de mi corazon, it leaves me with only the drawings to focus on). Crumb’s currently working on “a ‘literal’ interpretation of Genesis” and there’s an exhibition of his work at the Kln Ludwig Museum (until Sept 12). Long may he keep on truckin’.
I’m sure by now you know: The Simpsons will feature an episode wherein one of the characters outs his or her self as being gay. Who’d ya think it’s gonna be? My bet’s on Mr. Burns. Smithers&lÅ´;/a> is way too obvious, Marge’s sisters are simply asexual anyway, Moe‘s a frustrated butt pincher, Barney is, well, turned on by beer. Your thoughts? Could it be one of the Flanders? Krusty?
Of course you’re not the kind of person to lust over animated cartoon girls, but anyway…
This is a real treat: Stinkfoot, the comic as drawn by comic artist Jean Sol in 1975 for french mag Fluide Glacial.
