It's funny how the position for boot-licking is so close to the one used for curb-stomping.

I thought this was the perfect ending. I'm unfamiliar with Rock, but I really liked that last, pre-nursing home scene.


:mittens:
Look forward to seeing the panels that result.

Yeah, well, bummer.  It occurred to me on the drive home that this whole series has dealt with copyrighted characters, and the chance of getting permission to use them is precisely zero.

You could create expies and use those instead, possibly expanding it all into a larger storyline encompassing them all. It may lose a bit of the intended effect, but then again it might not. After all, it worked pretty well for Alan Moore.
My shit list: Stephen Harper, anarchists that complain about taxes instead of institutionalized torture, those people walking, anyone who lets a single aspect of themselves define their entire personality, salesmen that don't smoke pipes, Fredericton New Brunswick, bigots, philosophy majors, my nemesis, pirates that don't do anything, criminals without class, sociopaths, narcissists, furries, juggalos, foes.

Whatever

You could always just stick it up on the net free of charge.  They'll still make you take it down once it gets enough attention (pretty much anybody but Marvel and DC wouldn't care, but those two were nuts even before one of them got bought by Disney), but by that point copies will have been made, and you could get a bit of attention from the Streisand effect.

Attention doesn't pay for my time.  It also doesn't go well in a portfolio.

I know it was said before. But fuck. It's like a snapshot of  my dad in five years, when the Alzheimers has wiped away his lucidity and the hospital attendants have no idea that the frail old man was once a looming presence with a booming voice; a war hero who commanded respect from generals and terrified his daughters' suitors.

Some posts I save up for reading when I have the time and mind for really reading them, and this is one of those, and I'm glad I did.

However, this comment actually struck me even harder than the OP:

Quote from: The Good Reverend Roger on January 07, 2011, 08:06:13 PM6 months before 911 occurred, I had mentioned to my mother that my generation had a sort of inferiority complex.  Her parents' generation had won the war, and her generation had won the peace...Leaving my generation with no great challenges or obstacles.  Her generation went to the moon, for Chrissakes.

Then 911 happened.

And my generation folded up into a fetal position and whimpered.

Both of them, great writing, Roger.

Too bad you can't make them into a comic like you originally wanted, but seeing that the only way to do it would be anonymous and for free, I can see how it may not be worth the effort, much.

(Maybe one other option though, if you don't require the high quality "professional", "comic book hero" style of drawing, somebody talented enough, preferably somebody with a Wacom tablet, could probably finish a bunch of pages within a few hours, add some simple digital effects (stock photographs as backgrounds, etc), and it'd be *something*, more simplistic cartoonesque characters, but the most important bit is capturing the facial expression just right)

I like the Luna one. She is a good one.
