Garfield comics and Garfield cartoon (and friends!)

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 04:16:40 GMT

clipper's remarks: Garfield is born from a pen of Jim Davis, the comic strip author. The cat Garfield is named after Jim's grandfather, James Garfield Davis, who is again named after President James A. Garfield.

Being fat and lazy cat, Garfield is also portrayed as cynical, sarcastic, sadistic and pessimistic. He loves to destroy stuff, to maul the mailman and to torment his "colleague" pet Odie. He has comments sharp as a knife, usually on Jon being unable to find a date. But he has also his soft side, which is reserved for food, sleep and his teddy bear.

Anime Japan’s Manga Hentai Wonder Festival

clipper's remarks: Wonder Festival was first held in 1985. Japanese animation was still very much a niche interest even in its home country, and the major kit manufacturers were only interested in major TV franchises.
It seems, even organizers do not foreknow, who and how many figures will decide to parade. Heroines numerous anime, video games, comics, manga,hentai with own hand created characters. Practically any figure has an erotic hentai orientation.

Japan’s Wonder Festival

anime, video games, comics, manga,hentai

The fans who founded Wonder Festival had started running science fiction conventions in Osaka in 1981, with Daicon III, whose opening animation has become famous among anime, video games, comics, manga,hentai fans. They used the experience and contacts they gained to set up General Products, Japan’s first specialty science fiction store. Wonder Festival was a logical extension of the store. A number of the group went on to form anime studio GAINAX, creators of such hits as Evangelion, and in 1990 General Products withdrew from Wonder Festival and merged with GAINAX to focus on animation. They later fictionalized their memories of the period in Otaku no Video.

Comics You Should Read

clipper's remarks: The "1000 Comics You Must Read" link opens an Amazon.com page.

Clip Source: www.moreintelligentlife.com

there have hardly been any large-scale efforts to define a foundation for comic-book cultural literacy. Douglas Wolk’s excellent 2007 volume "Reading Comics" even takes great pains to avoid such a burden—“I’m more interested in starting discussions (and arguments) about comics than settling them with any kind of self-appointed authority

The closest thing we’ve had to an authoritative list is the one put forth by the Comics Journal ten years ago. Though full of great work, this list is wilfully elite: there are no superheroes in the top 30

the Comics Journal list needs a counterweight, and now it has one in "1000 Comics You Must Read", a full-colour survey of sequential art over the past 70 years

1000 Comics" has a definite superhero slant

the two lists serve as correctives to one another

Together they not only set a neophyte on the right track but also put an experienced reader in clover

On that note

we’re off to find a copy of 1957’s "Caught" #5

We might never have heard of it otherwise

The Young Invincibles

Submitted by Vi Huynh on 10/31/2009 - 16:16

Blog Fullsize Image:

Invincible is the final studio album released by Michael Jackson in 2001. Invincible is also a feel-good underdog football movie released in 2006, starring Mark Wahlberg. But more to my point, Invincible is a young Image Comics superhero. Why is this relevant? Because there is a real life group of Young Invincibles--the 13 million young adults (ages 19 to 29) in America who do not have health insurance.

Featured Campaign

Pursuit of Destiny

Our Featured Campaign for the month of November is the Pursuit of Destiny, DMed by cwgabe. Believe it or not, cwgabe is in fact the same Gabe who draws Penny Arcade. Yes that Gabe. Web comics MVP, Gabe. I know, I was totally surprised too! Well not totally surprised. I had to track him down at the new Penny Arcade office and ask him and Tycho if I could do it, but they’re cool and they said yes. Also they’re coming to my birthday party. Robert Khoo too. True story.

Lesbian Batwoman takes over Gotham City

SHE first swung into action 50 years ago, helping her boyfriend Batman rid Gotham City of villains until she was killed off in 1979.

Back in town ... a new look Batwoman is taking over from where Batman left off. Picture: DC Comics

Now Batwoman is making a comeback, replacing Batman - who is missing, presumed dead - in the popular DC Comics series.

And this time around the superheroine's alter ego, Kathy Kane, is a red-headed lesbian.

Billed as a "lesbian socialite by night and a crime-fighter by later in the night", the new Batwoman is clad in a figure-hugging black outfit with knee-high red stiletto boots.

She is set to appear in at leasty 12 issues of the Detective Comics, the first of which will appear in June, the BBC reports.

"We've been waiting to unlock her - it's long overdue," DC Comics writer Greg Rucka said.

"Yes, she's a lesbian. She's also a redhead.

Batman was killed by a fireball last November, though fans suspect he'll be back.

[SWITCH]

In the big city, drug crimes run rampant. Eto Kai and Kurabayashi Haru are two newcomer investigators who fight against them. In order to save people from modern society; poisoned with drugs, the two turn to face an invisible enemy...

"Switch" is a manga about the Matori, drug cops of the Narcotics Control Dept in Japan. Following a very unconventional plot, we are introduced to different situations the Matori must face throughout their career, through the eyes of a newbie criminal investigator and our main character, Eto Kai. However, as the manga progresses, we gradually begin to realize that Kai isn't all he appears to be. The series, by Naked Ape, is very edge-of-your-seat, and highly recommended for everyone.

Fox News isn't even pretending anymore

Fri, 16 Oct 2009 15:55:03 GMT

clipped by: ratilfar
clipper's remarks: The boldest innovator, however, has been Fox News. Since President Obama’s election, the cable news channel has dropped all but the barest pretense of objectivity. Billing itself as “fair and balanced,” Fox has turned itself into what White House communications director Anita Dunn recently called “the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party.”

Actually, that’s an extremely polite way of putting it. It’s closer to Orwell’s “Ministry of Truth.” Fox openly promotes “Tea Parties” and other political demonstrations; it portrays every perceived White House defeat, such as Chicago’s failure to secure the 2016 Olympic Games, as a victory for something called “Fox Nation.”

“Doublethink,” Orwell called it: the ability to “hold simultaneously two opinions which canceled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them.” So it is with “Fox Nation” and “fair and balanced.”

Oct. 15, 2009 | In theory, the national news media function in a free market of ideas: a self-regulating, relentless quest for what the old Superman comics called “Truth, Justice, and the American way.” (Actually, Clark Kent’s newspaper-reporter disguise strikes contemporary audiences as a sentimental anachronism. Today, he’d be a rogue cop or a CIA operative.)

In practice, Washington political journalism has become a subdivision of the entertainment industry: its best-known practitioners are second- and third-tier TV stars, and news itself a form of politicized “infotainment.” Even lowly print reporters and pundits can greatly improve their incomes by appearing on programs like “Hardball” and copping an attitude.
