To the note of Sim and Cerebus .... Cerebus isn't Sim and Sim isn't Cerebus. I enjoyed Cerebus but could care as less about his political and social views as I would my hero writer Jim Starlin. Separation of the creator and its creation, for me has all the benefits, and none of the cons. for that post alone, if you were a woman, i'd strive for a day when i could ask you to marry me, but i disagree, nominally. sim/cerebus? yes, what you said. absolutely. but sim created a WORLD, in fact a multi-dimensional world (obviously influenced by starlin's work though initially 'drawn' like BWS), and many of his tropes/archetypes are separate from Cerebus himself. i'm leaving out Elrod and other parody roles here, obviously

But whether that is the case I know not as I don't care to read Sim's opinions themselves. Like I wouldn't know his opinion on anything if it weren't for this forum (and CBR back in the day). As far as Starlin, it's a never met your heroes type thing. We are all flawed individuals that have our weakness and faults. I'd rather continue to think of Starlin as the "father" of some of the best characters ever than find out, as my kids will me as they get older, a normal flawed human, not a giant. And I'm posting 99% of the time from my phone. So I'm sure every time I closed my Safari application, I am "offline". But it was coincidence not by any means anything in your post.

But it was coincidence not by any means anything in your post. you're an honourable man, and as i'm an arguably weak man, i still wish you were a single woman, lol i've read all Cerebus. it's a case of 'we must separate the artist and his art from his political views.' as per byrne. as per shooter. as per many fab creators. i'm very conversant with 'sim's view'. but to be fair, viewpoints change, and as you and i are non-partisan, we must accept that. I also say that as someone whom was nominal pals with D. Loubert. starlin is a different kettle of fish, as is J.O.Barr. these two are 'metaphysical' creators in the extreme. i've met both. nothing to be disappointed by. but then again, i love metaphysics.

I seem to remember a thread for upcoming comics that weren't out yet here a couple years ago but I can't seem to find it.

Urrggghh...had a bit of a bad night at work this evening. I drove an hour to a venue (our first time playing there too!), unloaded all the gear, set everything up, soundchecked and 10 minutes before we were due to start my PA system went kaput! There was power going to it, but the onboard computer wassn't booting up and there was a really nasty sounding (and very loud) electronic buzzing coming from the speakers -- so it's definitely f***ed. I'm pretty pissed off because, apart from the expense of having to get it fixed or, more likely, buying a new one, I've had a two hour round trip in torrential rain this evening, then had to set up all the gear and pack it all down again for no money. I've also had to cancel tomorrow evening's gig because the two friends I know who have a decent PA that, under normal circumstances, I could borrow are both away on holiday at the moment. So, I've got a screwed PA and I've lost two night's worth of pay. I know that "worse things happen at sea", as they say, and in the grand scheme of things this is nothing. But still, it's really, really annoying.

very sorry to read that, Confessor. too many muso's get shafted by such circumstances when all they want to do is employ their talent to 'give' to others.

the 'n' word is anathema to me. not 'virtue-signalling' here; you'll see why below. it's a word that African Americans, Indians, 1st Australians can use with each other in any way they see fit since it was a word that was employed to dehumanise them. no need to explain that to anyone here. as mny here would know, and Rule Britannia even described the Irish as 'the n-words of the british isles'. charming.and pathetic, as so many anti-irish brits had the hots for the Irish in a 'Celtic Fever' analogous to Spike Lee's 'Jungle Fever'. i have my own 'club' in this respect; 'cripple'. or as many of my crowd say, intentionally referencing 'homey-culture', 'crips'. i'm a half-crip. in comics, in genre storytelling, we're a wide-bandwith, thankfully. many greats have been our luminaries: Grainger and Cockrum in the diabetic-subset, JK Rowling's Mum and Chrissy Amphlett from the Divinyls from the M.S. subset. my crip-thang is 'different but equal', hah hah, and like MS, is - as per described by medical experts and governments who provide me with my 'crip-card' - 'episodic'. the intense pain comes and goes, the limitation to typing with 'my one good finger of the week' comes and goes. which is why some folks here might notice a 'differential' in my posting style, and temporary-posting-abilities. and my getting Z#Z$!!'d by this site's 'auto-correct' function. hilarious how it loves to change 'crip' to 'crop'. plenty of jokes to be made there, ala disabilities and perception of the disabled. but back-on-point, the passion imprisoned within a betraying-body, however, never goes away, so when any of you post something that impassions or inspires me, i must post/reply any. because you all are THAT good, THAT smart, THAT lovely, THAT artful-in-your-arguements. so, i'f i make a comment in the future about my fellow crips, or half crips, or self-describe myself as a half crip, unless you're a crip, or a half crip (like myself), please refer to this post before engaging in what Paste Pot Paul & Spike-X would culturally understand to be 'argey-bargy', as spoken of in my beloved Antpodes. and of course i've had to come back and edit this post because of this site's 'auto-correct'. as a sci-fi/comic-person i shouldn't be upset that a defacto 'ai' messed with me here, but it rankles. i'll cop to my own '1 finger typos' but not what autocorrect b.s. does to my posts.

Voice casting director Andreaa Romano, who helmed the voice talent for shows like Duck Tales, Batman: The Animated Series and most of the Timmverse DC shows announced she is retiring recently. There's an article over on the adfest that is CBR if you want more details, but her work is legendary.
