Poor the_paco

Wishing for things to improve for poor the_paco who is likely not having a good birthday. Plus he needs money for moving. Who will give the_money to the_paco?

Wow. Just wow

So out of boredom, I decide to check the commentary on the "review" of Dresden Codak from the I Hate You Because I Enjoy Attention (Not That I Fault That As I Hate HIM Because I Need Attention) Blog. And I come across this PURE GENIUS comment:

Webcomics absolutely do have to be realistic, as does any kind of art if it wants to have anything to say about the world. To say something about the world you must be rooted in it. Emotion, humour or anything else will always ring false when couched in childish fantasies of magic, superheroes and animal-people. To set your story in a made up world or universe is simply avoiding the world and should not be tolerated. Good art can be related to.

I mean the username is just the perfect Idiot Cherry on His Dumb-Ass Sunday. Hey, this is fun! And easy! No wonder kevin_church started a 14th Blog just pointing out stupid people...

Ladron Que Roba a Ladron

A Latino heist pic. A pair of thieves recruit a crew of immigrant workers to rip off an informercial scam artist. Solid acting from a cast you probably don't know. Plus it has a nice Robin Hood type ending. Fun movie...

Sunday Trade: The Five Fists of Science

The Five Firsts of Science
Written by Matt Fraction, Art by Steven Sanders, Lettering by Sean Konot

On the one side you have Nikolai Tesla and Samuel "Mark Twain" Clemens looking to bring about world peace. With science! And a scam involving giant robots fighting "demons".

Opposing them is the cabal of J.P. Morgan, Thomas Edison and Andrew Carnegie who are using dark magics to summon their foul god-thing. To destroy the world? Conquer it? Really I wasn't very clear on their motives. But then they're a group of murderous and crazed cultists so thats ok...

Full on gonzo pulp heroing from the dawn of the 20th Century. Plus a yeti...
