A cruel irony that I, who possess an impossibly arcane and obsessive concern for comic art history, have absolutely no artistic capability whatsoever.

This was an axiomatic piece of comic knowledge that every fan and pro took as a given at least up through the 1970's, at which point the new generation of fan-creators moved in, and looked back only one generation for influence rather than two.

The "let's go with the fascist so the revolution can happen" crowd is especially wild because, like, they had this literal exact fascist four years ago, and did not have a revolution? Didn't even come close to one? Actually ended with the moderate in question just barely sneaking into office?

Speaking of which, the left political faction most dedicated to the principle of revolution seems like they might be slacking on that putsch-ready militia front, you know, comparatively speaking

Okay, I am clearly too old and cognitively fading to pull off writing a book or even another very long article. Maybe the unrhymed poetry market is my thing.

Oh, I'm sure. The American insistence on "Mr. President" even after the malevolent parasites have left office is multitudes more obnoxious, anyway.

Nothing says “party founded for and committed to the cause of the working class” like a pedantic insistence on proper nomenclature for make-believe knights.

I also like that a theme of the show is that the grownups in your neighborhood are generally good people who you can count on to help you, which is the opposite of almost everything else we've been told by mass media for 40 years.

Having waded through all of this, all I can say now is that these are obviously serious allegations, but this is very much not a serious report on them.

I'm waiting to see when/if another source reports on this, because the actual story in question here is a very thinly-sourced podcast from a venue with a long history of anti-trans and conservative-affiliated reporting. I need to see more than this report specifically offers.

To the extent that this administration is, and has been influenced by public pressure, is there anything someone like me can help do make this a central demand of Biden's base?

That’s no doubt true; the question is whether and how it’s fundamentally different from earlier eras where definite mentorship and training were happening in the business.

Both excellent points -- and now that you mention them, very likely worthy of a deeper exploration for the Comics Journal at some point.

My sense is that as the field gets more cutthroat, established artists are just less likely to give away their own know-how to young competition. So it becomes a vicious cycle of everyone fighting for the scraps they have (much to the financial benefit of publishers).
