Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
He has the scalp and the cranky attitude -- what's stopping him?
He feels he is not in shape enough to dress up as Spider. I keep telling him that he should go as the winter version of Spider (from the one-shot storyline where he ends up attacking the Filthy Assistants with some sort of snowball killing machine). I even offered to dress up as Yelena. (Plei said she'd pay folding money to see this.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I thought of him today. I saw a pickup with a Calvin in cowboy gear pissing on some random logo sticker and his recluseness came to mind.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I always expected some other work from BW. Not necessarily a comic strip, but something. But if he said all he wanted to say, more power to him, and kudos for knowing when that moment was.

Just hovering over the link made me throw up in my mouth a little. Do I even want to click it?

The article doesn't go into specifics; I just found it to be angry-making rather than nauseating.

Okay, I read it, and I still stand by my throwing up. I don't trust DiDio to do anything right.
I do like the picture at the bottom, with Batman pimp-slapping Rorschach, though.
