panel a: BEFORE and it’s a white family sitting on their couch reading a book (prob the bible) absolutely being beset by fucking locusts or hornets or something. screaming in terror, arms raised in supplication.

Panel b: AFTER and it’s the same family but now there’s a screen up and the bees are gone but their arms are still raised only this time it’s raising the roof because life is fucking sweet. also one of the kids disappeared

#ResistanceRoots Sixto Rodriguez was born on this day in 1942 in Detroit. He was a Mexican American folk-rock singer-songwriter whose music expresses marginalized, working-class struggles. His work was unknown in the U.S. until a 2012 documentary revealed his legendary stardom in South Africa. /1
Sixto Rodriguez at the premiere of the documentary “Searching for Sugar Man” in Los Angeles on June 19, 2012. Rodriguez's music had a huge following in South Africa, but no one knew anything about him and believed that he was dead. The documentary chronicles how two of his South African fans searched for him and found him living a quiet, working-class life in Detroit. Photo credit: Kevin Winter / Getty Images.

‘Say yes and never do it’ Mel Brooks knew how to deal with the studios
You have some wonderful stories of basically getting away with stuff at the studios.

I’d learned one very simple trick: say yes. Simply say yes. Like Joseph E. Levine, on “The Producers,” said, “The curly-haired guy—he’s funny looking. Fire him.” He wanted me to fire Gene Wilder. And I said, “Yes, he’s gone. I’m firing him.” I never did. But he forgot. After the screening of “Blazing Saddles,” the head of Warner Bros. threw me into the manager’s office, gave me a legal pad and a pencil, and gave me maybe twenty notes. He would have changed “Blazing Saddles” from a daring, funny, crazy picture to a stultified, dull, dusty old Western. He said, “No farting.” I said, “It’s out.”That’s probably the most famous scene in the movie, the campfire scene.

I know. He said, “You can’t punch a horse.” I said, “You’ll never see it again.” I kept saying, “You’re absolutely right. It’s out!” Then, when he left, I crumpled up all his notes, and I tossed it in the wastepaper basket. And John Calley, who was running [production at] Warner Bros. at the time, said, “Good filing.” That was the end of it. You say yes, and you never do it.

That’s great advice for life.

It is. Don’t fight them. Don’t waste your time struggling with them and trying to make sense to them. They’ll never understand.

Captain America is a dumb superhero. This is a very dumb drawing of him with impossibly mangled, stupid looking muscles and he is looking at us sidelong with an air of stupid disdain. It doesn't make any sense. But he looks like this politician with his also-stupid fake musclebursting effect under his fake clothes.
