That's also from the unpublished Jason Todd stuff, isn't it?

That is easily the most unsavory Batman I have ever seen.

I realized last night that I've been reading this board for over a year last night, and I was really surprised by it. It seems like it's been a lot less. Time flies when you're having fun, I guess.

Superman looks pretty skeezy too.

― c(''c) (Leee), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 19:59 (twenty years ago)

Superman looks like he moonlights as an Elvis Tribute Artist at nursing homes.

Bubba Ho-Tep-L!

Nu-ILC is going to be here any minute, guys. Hurry up and let's think of some in-jokes to lord over them!

Remember that time, um ... with the poll, and the thing -- no, the Thing! -- and ... Street Poet Ray ... um. Crap.

We are entering the Zirconium Age of ILC.

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 20:41 (twenty years ago)

Shit, I missed grim and gritty ILC and too many action figures ILC.

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 21:06 (twenty years ago)

Oh, I have to tell you, I'm doing the Networks column for Comics International (as of #194, out in about a week), so I may be inspired to report on happenings here sooner or later. Would the publicity kill anyone's soul?

(I was thinking of making the next one V for Vendetta themed, but no one's talking about it much. A sad indictment of Los Bros Wachowski or wot?! Anyway, is anyone bothering with the ICA preview of said flick?)

― _chrissie (chrissie1068), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 21:07 (twenty years ago)

there are things happening here worth publicizing?

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 21:11 (twenty years ago)

Dude, you discount the potential draw to be found in our INFINITE CIVIL SADFACE bitchfits!

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 21:12 (twenty years ago)

I'm pretty sure most message boards have sadface bitchtits.

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 21:17 (twenty years ago)

There you go. And it's not like I want to report stuff from exactly the same boards month after month. (Which the last writer did, pretty much.) I'd like to vary it a bit. Though this does depend on me looking around more, being a creature of habit as much as anyone else...

― _chrissie (chrissie1068), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 21:18 (twenty years ago)

Should I mention also that Paul Gravett and I are co-producing a new comics magazine? Currently: making a 12-page dummy and looking for a publisher. Oh, this should be another thread, but anyone who cares: tell me what the perfect comics magazine would be (IYHO).

I'll ignore every word, but I am interested.

― _chrissie (chrissie1068), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 21:24 (twenty years ago)

What's it going to be called?

― Vic F (Vic Fluro), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 21:34 (twenty years ago)

INFINITE BITCHTITS!

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 21:36 (twenty years ago)

The previous post is to celebrate Tep's turn of phrase as much as it is a title suggestion for Chrissie's co-mag.

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 21:37 (twenty years ago)

Haha, I just looked at my very first post on the first thread, and it seems like I've been repeating the same things for two years now. Sorry.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 21:52 (twenty years ago)

The title is Comics Unconventional. (Pun intended, and with Dez's blessing...) We have a logo. We have five responses so far from our questionnaire (Rarified Tastes -- Paul's title). But not much else yet.

Anyway, of course, we think it'll be something a bit new and different in comics magazines. But everyone who ever put one out said that. ;-)

― _chrissie (chrissie1068), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 22:21 (twenty years ago)

I am so sad that Mona Lisa Ludatits is lost in the ether forever.

― Dan (Ultimate Sadface) Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 22:27 (twenty years ago)

Reading that thread made me wonder where all those people went who introduced themselves but did not stay around to become regulars. Are you all out there now, lurking? I get that, I mainly lurk.

By now the regulars here are so regular - and this is not a criticism - that whenever anybody irregular posts more than once to a thread its mildly shocking. "Who is this newcomer?" Whatever happened to that short-lived drive to recruit new contributors?

Comics International reporting on our endless tiffs about why we love spandex and unintentionally humorous pictures of superheroes in compromising positions cant hurt...

― David N (David N.), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 22:38 (twenty years ago)

Mona Lisa Ludatits is from the ILC of Earth-2. Actually, I'm not sure what Mona Lisa Ludatits is, but something lost in the server crash thing? We're Earth-1 ILC now.

ILC is still small enough that it's hard for a "membership drive" to work, I think -- it's a different thing, delurking or newcoming to a place where a new person sticks out that much. A newcomer can pop up on ILE and fifty posters will just assume it's a regular they hadn't noticed before. That'll change, but I think the change'll still be slow for a bit.

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 23:04 (twenty years ago)

I'll probably be rejoining CAPA-Alpha, the comics APA, in the next few months, but I hesitate to plug ILC there, because some of those guys have a major charisma deficit, and I think it would be like matter and anti-matter touching.

― pixel farmer (Rock Hardy), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 23:25 (twenty years ago)

Members of the Canadian Airports Procurement Association lack charisma? Shocking!

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 21 February 2006 23:31 (twenty years ago)

(Speaking of charisma lack...)

From Leeekipedia:

Mona Lisa Ludatits is the near-mythic commissioned caricature drawn by the elusive and enigmatic cartooning genius, r0bt v@n 1iefeld. A "mash-up" of various discourses in modern culture, Mona Lisa Ludatits examines in turn the politics of culture (from contemporary hip-hop issues to the Renaissance), reification/fetishization of women in portraiture (and specifically the danger infused in female breasts as an object of the male gaze), and the degraded state of art creation in a free-market capitalist society.
Mona Lisa Ludatits quickly disappeared from public view, to the dismay of the most erudite and good-looking online comics evaluators presently active on the Internet. Its artist did not accompany the removal of the piece with an explanation, and many observers assumed his complete exile from ILC. However, Mr. v@n 1iefeld briefly resurfaced with an unexpected but well-regarded follow-up.

Jeez, it's 4pm now? How long did I spend writing that??

― c(''c) (Leee), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 00:10 (twenty years ago)

Dude, grad school broke you.

― Tep (ktepi), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 00:13 (twenty years ago)

I concur.

― c(''c) (Leee), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 00:43 (twenty years ago)

Isn't it time to have a crisis??.

ILC has too much continuity!. Newcomers can't get into the board with all those arcane references to Mona Lisa Ludatits and Sadface!. Let's start from scratch!.

― Amadeo (Amadeo G.), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 04:15 (twenty years ago)

I don't get hung up on having to know what's going on. I'm surfing a wave of blissful ignorance and it's TUBULAR.

― pixel farmer (Rock Hardy), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 04:30 (twenty years ago)

OMG Rob is totally the greatest thing ever! Awesome!

― Dan (A Hoagie! That's It!) Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 04:54 (twenty years ago)

I'm only 80% sure I know what "sadface" is.

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 05:14 (twenty years ago)

surely the true sadface picture belongs to a superhero who has just found out that Sue Dibny is dead and raped and all and has been drawn by Rags Morales.

― Mark C (Markco), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 09:32 (twenty years ago)

I think this may have been CRISIS ON INFINITELY ILC CROSSOVER BUYFEST:

The next person that uses joycore as an adjective is getting a visit from Mrs. Atom.

That's also from the unpublished Jason Todd stuff, isn't it?
-- David R. (quoteidio...), February 21st, 2006. (later)

I read that as Jason Todd snuff. Does that make me a bad person?

― Stone Monkey (Stone Monkey), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 12:53 (twenty years ago)

Brian Pulido could get a job for DC on a title like that.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 13:12 (twenty years ago)

I'm on a mission to introduce "Superhero Sadface" into the daily lexicon. Who's with me?

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 15:51 (twenty years ago)

I'm with you!. But only if we can also introduce "ludatits".
