RITA'S CXLIII: You’re Gonna Have to Serve Somebody

[Joe Rice]

Heh. That's a fine gif.

OH JESUS OH GOD NO THIS IS THE WORST OH GOD

I was just emailed by some ..."publisher" about text books I worked on last year ...they want to do a "biology experiment book" in "full color." Thing is, I didn't do any textbooks last year, or any other year. And ...they are and think that I am ...Irish.

You must demand redress for this most grievous of insults, Colonel!

[Joe Rice]

Most indubitably!

[Puma]

Morning people.

[Spike-X]

Morning Puma.



I finished the Kree/Skrull War HC tonight. I know I'm far from the first to make this observation, but goddamn was Roy Thomas in love with the sound of his own typewriter or what?

[Vibranium]

so I was out last night with my cousin...watched him totally outkick his coverage and crash and burn so hard with this girl at the bar

it was funny

[Joe Rice]

Heh. I started reading Avengers Forever last night and goddam that was a slog. Captions, captions, captions! And the dialogue! Jesus, ugh.

Good morning, nerds.

They are making such a big deal about the NATO Summit here. They have already told us not to wear any corporate logos and saying that we may need to work from home or if we come in to be unable to leave the building for anything.

Spike-X says purple prose:

Ha! Yeah, it was the "Young Turks" style back then. You could say the same of Denny O'Neil and others. I still love the story, though, despite the weak ending.

Woohoo! Work at home no pants day.

[jessecuster3]

Woohoo! Work at home no pants day.

I certainly hope so.

I have a hard time reading any super-hero book by Roy Thomas, then or now.
But, I dig his Conan.
His Avengers, All Star Squadron?
Ugh.

Some great art, though.

Don't read anything by Don McGregor then. The volume is greater and the prose more purple than Thomas at his worst.

[Joe Rice]

Yeah. Love Pacheco. And a wiki article sounded interesting BUT IT WAS WRONG.
