Not really, you just said to dig some old TCJ issues. Can you tell us a bit more about these "riots"?

Not everyone has a back catalogue of those available, sadly.
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 7 March 2012 09:48 (twelve years ago) link
Not everyone likes to go off and rummage through back issues they may or may not have when someone on an internet forum who has raised the subject would be able to answer the question more quickly.
That story about Liefeld not getting round to paying people is almost endearing me to him, in a sympathy for the crap kind of way.

She's completely dry, first of all, despite the fact that water is spraying her in the side of the head. It also STOPS at the side of her head and doesn't go anywhere else despite the thigh-high amount of steam building up and the random bubbles rising to the ceiling. To make things even worse, she's showering in panties and is dropping the soap, because sex. And her shoulders are four times wider than her hips. And she's casting a huge shadow on the wall, meaning the light is coming in I guess from the bottom of her shower. And she's wearing lip liner, I think. Oh and also THIS PIECE OF SHIT IS IN A PUBLISHED COMIC AND WAS DRAWN BY A MILLIONAIRE.

I've added a new portrait of Todd McFarlane to go with the one of Rob Liefeld in my Douchebags of Comics series, along with several others including JMS and Dan DiDio- http://www.rickworley.com/douchebags-of-comics/ Enjoy :)

Okay. Breathe. forks, that article had me hyperventilating, which is bet when you have a respiratory infection.
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 19 June 2012 03:18 (twelve years ago) link
And good job on the new entries Rick. Though I think you were too kind to Todd.
yeah, that thing had me laughing my ass off too
― Authorities don't know who shot the 50 Cent the goose. (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 19 June 2012 04:05 (twelve years ago) link
Is is The Big Mystery to me, and a big part of the reason why I quit reading the things for the better part of a decade. Not Liefield specifically, but the whole Image pinups-not-storytelling movement.

I never recovered (wrt to mainstream comics). By the time the Liefeld/Lee/Toddy style was waning, the NEW SCHOOL OF AWESOME DIGITAL COLORING had taken hold and that shit's just as off-putting to my eyes.

i grew up on that stuff unfortunately. in fact for the first few years i was into comics (8-10 years old) i was a diehard Image kid only
― Black_vegeta (Hungry4Ass), Tuesday, 19 June 2012 16:36 (twelve years ago) link
so many of those allegedly superbad drawings a look at and go 'eh, its comics'

I will say Liefeld's idea of breasts is one of the most hilarious things
― Victory Chainsaw! (DJP), Tuesday, 19 June 2012 17:49 (twelve years ago) link
Also his notion that the head of the penis is located at the end of the arm.
― Lewis Apparition (Jon Lewis), Tuesday, 19 June 2012 18:10 (twelve years ago) link
EZ, really, too kind to Todd? I said he was a sellout and a hack. Liefeld has the crown as the worst of the Image artists, but I did say that Todd's women look freakish.
― Rick Worley, Tuesday, 19 June 2012 18:20 (twelve years ago) link
I think I was letting your kind thoughts towards him as a kid color over the vitriol. Re-reading, there's plenty of "Todd is a shit human" stuff in there. Didn't see a mention of the Miracleman douche behavior though.
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 19 June 2012 18:31 (twelve years ago) link
Heh, well if I mentioned every single douche thing some of these people have done, the blogs would be too long for anybody to read. I'm mostly trying to mention the things that I have personal recollections of.
― Rick Worley, Tuesday, 19 June 2012 18:32 (twelve years ago) link
Victory Chainsaw- Any time Rob draws lady parts it's hilarious. I'm still trying to figure out why that woman is wearing underwear in the shower. Also trying to figure out why she had loaves of French bread surgically implanted in her shoulders.
The thing about Rob is, you've gotta give him points for entertainment value. Sometimes I'll stare at Rob Liefeld pages much longer than pages by people who can actually draw, because my brain is trying to figure out what it is I'm looking at and why it exists. To compare Rob to somebody else I'm doing a Douchebags of Comics card of, I think Rob's drawings of women are much funnier than any joke Scott Adams ever wrote in Dilbert.
― Rick Worley, Tuesday, 19 June 2012 18:35 (twelve years ago) link
Didn't Todd pay millions for that Mark McGwire home run baseball at his douchey peak? Yeah, far too much assholery for you to document it all.
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 19 June 2012 18:38 (twelve years ago) link
I think he paid one million for it, and pretty much did it for the publicity because he knew there would be headlines about this guy paying a million dollars for a baseball, at least that's how I remember seeing it.
― Rick Worley, Tuesday, 19 June 2012 18:42 (twelve years ago) link
Wiki says he paid $3 million for it! Egad.
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 19 June 2012 18:45 (twelve years ago) link
Yikes. Yeah, total doucheitude. You'd think if he has $3 million for baseballs he wouldn't have to argue with Neil Gaiman about royalties.
― Rick Worley, Tuesday, 19 June 2012 18:53 (twelve years ago) link
He had to argue about royalties because he spent all his money on a baseball!

I'm still a bit curious about Leifeld (& Lee/Silvestri...?) inciting kids to riot?
