There once was a justice in Maine who enabled a mad president’s reign The Constitution…..he fucked….neighbors told John he sucked! He thought “what gives them the right to complain?"

Bad enough that so many states still have a death penalty .... that they try again immediately after failing at the first attempt is medieval.

What "Comeuppance" exactly? He's too stupid to be embarrassed and the GOP will just pedal the lie to their base. He should resign....like yesterday.

Trumponomics: fight inflation by increasing the money supply plus reducing the amount of goods.... cause a global fuel and fertilizer crisis as the cherry on top.

It was gone at the design studio I worked at anyway. But the Macs were still ungodly slow at the time. The last time I used a stat camera was at another studio helping out a friend in 92. I started working for altweeklies in 93, and they always wanted live art as I recall.

By 1990 traditional paste-up had gone the way of the dodo. Still have my hand waxer from the 80's but it's an unused relic.... my proportion wheel on the other hand I still use almost daily. I've used the same one for 43 years.

Miller apparently didn't care for McKenzie's scripts, but as a reader I can't say I noticed a change in quality when Miller took over the words.

It was apparently "lost" when the building was demolished. Ben Shahn murals face the same fate in DC. Tragic, but considering how much beautiful architecture gets razed in the US it makes sense that developers wouldn't care much about murals regardless of who did them.

In '84 or '85 here was a great show of his work where I went to college. Someone said his stuff was "mean" or some such, and the instructor who had mounted the show replied "for political cartoons to have a point they have to have teeth." I always remember Oliphant in that context.

It's a great looking story. There are a number of innovative panels that use solid black on open backgrounds to make things pop. Very Toth-like.

I love them both... but I think 2001 is graphically stronger/stranger. I didn't pass up any Marvel Kirby book in the late 70's... they were their own weird thing.

In 76 the Bicentennial was definitely not presented as a production mounted by and in tribute to the sitting president. I read Kirby's Bicentennial Battles on a long trip to the beach that summer. It's funky, odd, and earnest. 80 pages of all-new art was pretty special.

A solid horror artist too. On the marvel stuff I liked when he inked himself, but he also looked great when he was inked by Giacoia, Springer, Palmer or Wood. Underrated plotter too.

Byrne makes a few salient points about work-for-hire in that article, but how fairly Marvel was treating it's current star freelancer in 1981 is kind of a moot point. Kirby went to work on a handshake deal at a struggling family-owned place and argued that promises were broken when they sold.
