What do I want? I want Benjamin Marra to own up to the fact that he has created comics that could be viewed as racially problematic. Just own it. And I want Johnny Ryan fans, and Benjamin Marra fans to own it, too. They don’t have to stop reading Johnny Ryan, they don’t have to stop reading Benjamin Marra, they don’t have to stop consuming media that I consider racist or misogynistic or homophobic. They just have to own it. “Yes, I like comics that I’m able to enjoy from a position of privilege.” “Yes, I think these comics centered around extreme violence against women and children are hilarious.” Don’t bullshit me with your claims of satire until you’re able to back them up, because satire isn’t a magic word that makes critical thinking disappear.

this is what makes me mad whenever suda51 is brought up

Yeah, my views on Suda51 have soured recently.  And this is a good article to encapsulate why.

This comic, drawn by famed Hellboy creator Mike Mignola was also written by his seven-year-old daughter, and is probably the best thing you’ll read all day.

Years ago I ran a comic called Whispered Apologies that worked like this: authors would submit art with empty voice bubbles in them, and writers would fill in the words.  When people ask why it ended, I say that it was a lot of fun and I’d like to revisit it sometime!
Enter Ryan Estrada!
Ryan Estrada (who I will refer henceforth as Other Ryan) took the concept (with permission, not that he needed it!) and BLEW IT UP and the result is The Whole Story.  South Korean artist Nam Dong Yoon had produced a bunch of awesome, visually-striking comics, and wanted something more interesting done with them than just a straight translation into English.  Other Ryan invited a bunch of us choose one of the comics to write our OWN stories with, working with the visuals already there!  
It’s awesome.  This book is available right now at a pay-your-own-price price PLUS there’s a free preview PLUS LOOK WHO WROTE COMICS IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER:

jesus christ finding ian j’s tumblr brings me back

cornerof5thandvermouth:

fuck me i remember bein obsessed w rpg world and loving it just totally and tryin to draw like him cos i loved how stylized his people were

and fuck if im not wearin onea my stubble shirts rn (another comic that iw as HUGELY fuckin into for years and years that finally ended, same era as rpg world and similar circles bein run in though i think less popular overall which was a shame cos it was fun as heck)

i wonder what mirman is up to now, dang

hes another onea them dudes i wanted to draw just like

everyone was way more dedicated to art/comics than ill ever be tho so i figure bein a fan is enough for me

mirman would disappear and reappear, but right now he’s here.
