A short comic about the long song 'This is What She's Like' by the band Dexys Midnight Runners 1/8

Two men with buildings behind them. One looks up as the other is lifted into the air.

Two men talking in a room. Wood floors, windows, a couch.

Panel one has three musicians in a dark room talking. Panel two the lights go up revealing five more musicians and they all being playing the song.

Buttlord GT, a DBZ parody I somehow got into literally decades before I became a fan of the source material. A fair bit of the humor didn’t age well, but it had a knack for memorable “so dumb it’s brilliant” turns of phrase.

Jon Oringer, founder and executive chairman of Shutterstock @shutterstock.com, is trying to recruit comic and graphic novel creators over on LinkedIn to a new AI platform that he’s building. Feel free to let him (and them) know what you think of this, and never use Shutterstock again ✌🏻

A LinkedIn message from Jon Oringer that reads: "Hi Stephanie
I started Shutterstock 20 years ago. I'm now building an AI assisted comic-book/graphic-novel marketplace. I'm looking for founding creators on an invite-only basis who get paid based on engagement with their content. Let me know if want to check it out.
Jon

Jon Oringer"

A reply to Jon from Stephanie Cooke that reads: "Hi Jon,

AI was illegally trained off of artists and creators, without their consent. And now those tools are being used to steal their styles and their years of hard work and education to create knock-offs that can’t begin to compare to what goes into art created by actual humans.

This is so incredibly misguided and makes an already predatory industry even harder for real artists to survive and thrive in.

I respect what you did with the creation of Shutterstock, but imagine if you were taken out of that equation entirely and someone just typed a prompt into an engine to create that site and product. It would be just as good as what you came up with, right?

This new endeavor is such a massive mistake and there’s not a single reputable creator who will attach their name to this. The creators that do come on board to promote AI are grifters who will only bring other grifters to your doorstep.

Best,
Stephanie"

Two more messages (one from Jon and followed by one from Stephanie) in reply:

JON: "Thanks for your response - I understand where you are coming from, but at the same time disagree with a lot of your points.
Jon

Stephanie: "Hi Jon,

You can disagree with a lot of my points but one thing that is entirely undisputable is the fact that there is no ethical way to use AI. Whatever you create with it for comics and graphic novels has the potential to be tied up in copyright legal battles for years as creators continue to fight for compensation and against the violation of having their work uploaded without their permission.

So I guess it’s good that you (presumably) have a lot of money to throw away into the pit that is AI. You won’t return on investment, you won’t gain traction in the world of comics and graphic novels, and I can tell you now that in the mainstream industry, this won’t ever be taken seriously by the level of creators you need for this to succeed.

But again, it’s not my money to be wasted. However, the resources that you are using up to support AI are a massive problem that can’t be solved financially, and there won’t be anyone left to create art if you and other AI advocates destroy the planet.

-Stephanie"

John Carter (2012) is such a good pulpy sci-fi movie and the best of Disney’s post-Pirates, pre-buying Star Wars franchise nonstarters The large scale action in stunning, the production design is top tier, and its version of Dejah Thorris is in the upper echelon of 2010s Action Ladies

Desperately late to the party on this one—and I know they aren’t considered “canonical” Columbos—but it’s too bad Paul Reiser, Tony Shaloub, Oliver Platt, David Schwimmer and Kate Mulgrew from the “Case of the Lethal Kill” sketch in the 1999 HBO Comic Relief special aren’t represented here.

I know it’s stupid, but it might have at least been entertainingly stupid if the studio’s attempts to revive the Universal Monsters as a modern franchise had involved using a Jurassic Park crossover to jumpstart it. Frankenstein vs. the Wolfman vs. Velociraptors or something.
