Ill Considered Wonder Woman Merchandising

It’s amazing what you can find in boxes of stuff and those art supply cabinets, and it’s a good bet I won’t need to buy another pencil or roll of tape for about a decade.

Here’s my favorite find so far: Wonder Woman scissors, circa 1978!

What the heck were they thinking?

It’s just wrong.

Eyes Wide Shut - the Comic Artists Blindfolded

Wed, 11 Jul 2007 05:32:00 GMT

clipper's remarks: This is great. They asked the artist to draw their characters blindfolded (the artists, not the characters...)...all the details are there, just a little closer or further apart, but they're all there....

EYES WIDE SHUT

In 1947 Life Magazine asked some famous comic strip artists to to draw their famous characters while wearing a blindfold. The results are interesting; they sort of remind me of that famous nature film that I was shown in Health Class where they blew marijuana on a spider and then watched him make crazy freaked-out webs. I have to confess that I've not heard of half of these comic strips; However, for the sake of preservation I've scanned them all. In my opinion Chick Young's Dagwood and Chester Gould's Dick Tracy are the best, but Dixie Dugan's artist John Striebel seems like he wasn't even trying!

Betty and Veronica redesign disaster
What was going on in the mind of the person who decided that the characters of Riverdale High needed to be redesigned in such a godawful way?
Good-bye, gang! It was nice knowing you. Link

Defining racism

Mon, 04 Dec 2006 15:12:52 GMT

clipper's remarks:

3. Conviction. Does the statement represent the individual's considered opinion? All of us, in our unconscious, harbor prejudicial thoughts. Comments made in writing, then, ought to be taken more seriously and judged more harshly than comments made in speech; comments made soberly are worse than those made in anger or jest. Comments made in the absence of emotional or chemical duress are worse than those made drunk, or in some stressful context. When a teenager yells at her mother, "I wish you were dead," that's hate speech. It's malcious and its targetted (I wish YOU were dead, not all mothers.) But mothers forgive their children for shouting those words, because the speech fails the conviction test. When we are frustrated or angry, we say things we don't mean--and the world, properly, ought to make allowances for us when we do.

The rest of the article is at the source. And a great discussion amongst the readers. A very intriguing read.

Between Michael Richards' outburst in a comedy nightclub, Mel Gibson's tirade of a few months back, and Michael Irvin's musings about Tony Romo's racial heritage, I'm wondering if we need a clearer definition of what it means to be a racist.

1. Content. What is said clearly makes a difference. I think, for example, that hate speech is more hateful the more specific it is. To call someone a nigger is not as a bad as arguing that black people have lower intelligence than whites. To make a targetted claim is worse than calling a name. Similarly, I think it matters how much a stereotype deviates from a legitimate generalization. For instance, (and this is, admittedly, not a great example) I think it's worse for someone to say that Jews are money-grubbers than it is to make a joke about how Orthodox Jews have large families. The first statement is groundless, and the second is at least statistically defensible. All hate speech is hurtful. But racism crosses the line and becomes dangerous when it encourages false belief about a targetted group. This much, I think, is fairly straightforward.

2. Intention. Was the remark intended to wound, or intended to perpetuate some social wrong? Was it malicious? I remember sitting in church, as a child, while our Presbyterian minister made jokes about how "cheap" Presbyterians were. If non-Presbyterians make that joke, it might be offensive. But a Presbyterian making jokes about Presbyterians with the intention of making Presbyterians laugh is fine, because there is a complete absence of malice in the comment. I think that Richard Pryor or Dave Chapelle's use of the word "nigger," or the Jewish jokes told by Jewish comics fall into the same category.
