Matt: “Being blind, here are my answers to people’s questions about how I handle money. Yes, it’s a pain that American paper currency is of a uniform size regardless of denomination. Used to be, because of my enhanced super-senses, I could easily read a bill by touch. But each advance in printing and anti-counterfeiting technology makes that more difficult. There are smartphone apps that can identify bills through photography. Slow, but helpful. To make better time, I still rely on the old folding method. Ones flat… fins folded crosswise… sawbucks lengthwise… twenties quartered. You have to trust cashiers not to shortchange you… especially on purpose. But my most helpful tip: surrender to the 21st century and use a debit card as much as possible. It’s always good to have a little cash in your pocket, but the debit card is the blind man’s best friend.”

Some dude bro on the internet talking about the new She-Ra reboot: Ugh SJWs are taking over cartoons and making them all preachy. I hate it when shows try to push an agenda on kids. Why can’t they be like they used to be, you know?

Original He-Man, looking straight at the audience: We had a lot of fun here today, but you know what isn’t fun? Judging others based on how they look. Not liking a person because he or she is a different race or religion is wrong. Also, plant a tree, and don’t do drugs.

Lou Scheimer was born to a German Jewish family and believed that his cartoons had a responsibility to teach children kindness and respect for everybody.

Back then there were also MILITANT divides between “boy’s” and “girl’s” entertainment but when he found out He-Man had at least a small following of little girls he pitched the concept of He-Man’s sister She-Ra and was insistent she be as tough a warrior as her brother. He saw that girls actually did like “scary” sword and sorcery and had a WHOLE NEW FUCKING SHOW made so they could feel acknowledged and have a heroine to look up to with her very own series.

Later he would help design a whole new sci-fi fantasy setting with the most creative control he ever had, Bravestarr, and was adamant that the hero be a Native American man, the first ever in a starring role on a kid’s action show. He also wanted Bravestarr to be a positive role model by being a patient, gentle, soft spoken man who abhors violence and avoids using guns at all costs. These cartoons are remembered as schlocky toy commercials and they ARE entertaining that way but real love went into them by a guy who wanted kids to grow up more sensitive and caring. Some of these same geeks crying about THE SJW’S were raised by even more bluntly progressive media than we’ve almost ever had and they didn’t even know it.

Remembering Norm (1960–2018)

  • In Memoriam: Norm Breyfogle

Earlier this month (24 September), it was announced that Norman Keith “Norm” Breyfogle has died. At fifty-eight, he was much too young to go. He was an American artist, best known for his comic book art on the Batman franchise from 1987 to 1995. During his time on the Batman book, he co-created the villains Ventriloquist, Ratcatcher, Anarky, Jeremiah Arkham, Victor Zsasz, and Amygdala. In 1992 he was tapped to redesign Batman. However, two years prior, he was also approached, along with a number of artists, to redesign Robin. While DC Comics eventually chose the design from Neal Adams, Norm Breyfogle submitted many designs and even penciled the first instance where Tim Drake official became Robin (center). Imaged Used:

“It’s no fun reading about somebody who’s perfect. You want to read about people that you can identify with…because we’ve all got problems and if you can create and write about a character who is flawed but manages to overcome those flaws…then I think that’s pretty good.” - Stan Lee (1922-2018)

How would you describe the "Marvel 2099" line?

Haven't read too much of it, but I'd say it's Marvel meets Blade Runner.
