White supremacist Nick Fuentes spoke at the DC “Stop the Steal” rally. Trump gave the demonstrators a flyby.
Afterwards Proud Boys vandalized a church with a historically blck congregation, evoking so much murderously racist American history with the fire they set.
This is Trumpism. This is the GOP. Don’t pretend it’s anything inncouous or banal or “just politics.” If you stand with either, you stand for this.
It’s true...

I’ve owned three different copies of THE STERANKO HISTORY OF COMICS Volume 1 over the years. It’s an important milestone book in the development of the hobby, but it’s also more oversized magazine than book, with saddle-stitched binding and a cover that tended to crack down the spine and separate. It fell apart easily. For some time, as a kid, I has the two disconnected covers framed and displayed on my wall–it’s a nice piece of artwork that encapsulates the absolute chaos of the comic book medium and field, in particular the super hero end of the spectrum (which is what Steranko himself seems the most concerned with in this book.)
I don’t entirely recall the circumstances of my first getting a copy of this book, though I’m pretty certain that I picked it up at a relatively short-lived bookstore in Centereach, a place whose Humor section carried not just reprints of newspaper comics and other funny books but also whatever collections of comic book material existed at that point. (There wasn’t much, but what did exist drew me like a moth to a flame, for all that I could seldom afford those more pricey tomes.) I do know that its $4.95 cover price makes me suspect that my grandparents were involved in the purchase–at that point, having five bucks’ worth of disposable income would be unthinkable to me.
THE STERANKO HISTORY OF COMICS Volume 1 was the first of a projected six-volume set of editions covering the verbal history of the comic book field in its entirety. In actuality, only the first two volumes were ever completed. But they are a treasure trove in that, being a comic book artist and cartoonist himself, Steranko was able to gain firsthand access to a number of the pioneers of the field, and to get their stories first-hand. Many of these illustrious gentlemen are no longer with us, so the fact that at least some record was kept of their memories is invaluable. The occasional error that creeps in due to memory being a flexible thing is understandable given the circumstances.
This first volume starts out at the beginning, with an opening chapter discussing the history of newspaper comic strips with an emphasis on serialized adventure strips, the forerunners of the action-adventure super hero comics to come. Then, Steranko segues into a chapter discussing the Pulp fiction magazines, in particular the hero-centered series such as the Shadow and Doc Savage–the other forerunners of the comic book super hero. Steranko illustrates his chapters with both tons of cover reproductions (unfortunately printed only in black and white) and bits of original art, both from the archives and new pieces that have been drawn specially for the book by noteworthy cartoonists.
From there come the super heroes in earnest. Steranko begins with a chapter on Superman, of course, and I believe that this is probably where I first began to learn the full story of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster and what had become of them. The cover illustrations in particular fired my imagination–I wanted to read all of these early comic books badly, and assumed that there was no way that would ever happen. (At this point, though, with all of the reprinting that’s taken place over the past two decades, I pretty much can. Progress!) The next chapter delves into the early world of Batman, and gives credit to both Bill Finger and Jerry Robinson for those early stories as well as Bob Kane.
The following two chapters focus on first Captain America and the the rest of the Timely/Marvel line of the 1940s, including the Human Torch and the Sub-Mariner. As I’ve related before, I didn’t read these chapters, not for months (the same is true for the chapters on the comic strips and the pulp magazines–so much reading about stuff that didn’t directly interest me seemed like homework.) I didn’t like Marvel comics at this point, so I didn’t care where they came from. It wasn’t until one boring day during the summer that I would eventually break down and read the Timely material both in this volume and in the Great Comic Book Heroes by Jules Feiffer and begin my odyssey into the Marvel Universe. For now, though, I gave them a pass.
The final two chapters in this volume cover the rest of the DC line, in particular the All-American side of the operation, responsible for the Flash, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman and the Justice Society, and an overview of the kid gang comics of the 1940s as represented by the Newsboy Legion, the Boy Commandos and the Young Allies. These covers fascinated me like few others: it would be a decade-and-a-half later, but ALL-STAR COMICS #17 was the first comic book I ever paid a three-figure price for ($125.00) based on having stared at that cover of the Justice Society miniaturized by the Brain-Wave and about to be crushed for years. The cover to DAREDEVIL #42 also enraptured me, and the actual comic book, once I was able to get my hands on a copy decades later, did in no way disappoint.
I was already in-the-tank in a big way as a comic book reader, but volumes such as this created a passion in me to learn everything that I could about the history of comics. (I did a book report in fifth grade on this very volume, I can recall, mocked up in the form of a faux-newspaper proclaiming “Comic Book Is Born!”) This interest would drive me to our local library, where my family were regular visitors (both of my parents were regular readers, my father voraciously so) and in whose adult section I could begin to find additional books about old comic books, comic strips and pulp magazines.
I don’t know why the Candy Hearts people hired me, but I’m earning my keep.
I guess it’s just about that time again.
And once more for the people in the back.
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) counted over 100 people killed or injured by alleged perpetrators influenced by the so-called "alt-right" — a movement that continues to access the mainstream and reach young recruits.
The so-called “alt-right” has murdered more than 100 people over the last three years. But we’re expected to concede public space to them and provide them with platforms to espouse genocide and encourage/organize further violence?
This shit needs to stop.
ABC reported on Wednesday that Gerber proclaimed the winner of its eighth annual Gerber Baby Photo Search to be 18-month-old Lucas Warren of Dalton, Georgia. Warren is the first child with Down syndrome to attain the title of Gerber Baby (which, because we’re well into the new millennium, is now called a “Spokesbaby”) since the contest’s original incarnation appeared more than 90 years ago.

Warren is the first child with Down syndrome to attain the title of Gerber Baby (which, because we’re well into the new millennium, is now called a “Spokesbaby”) since the contest’s original incarnation appeared more an 90 years ago
The president and CEO of Gerber, Bill Partyka, said in a statement on Wednesday, “Lucas’ winning smile and joyful expression won our hearts this year, and we are thrilled to name him our 2018 Spokesbaby. Every year we choose the baby who best exemplifies Gerber’s longstanding heritage of recognizing that every baby is a Gerber baby, and this year, Lucas is the perfect fit.”
Below is the original picture that Lucas’ mother, Courtney Warren, submitted, which was selected out of more than 140,000 photos of babies. Courtney said she hopes Lucas’ newfound spotlight “sheds light on the special needs community and educates people that with acceptance and support, individuals with special needs have the potential to change the world.”
In addition to the Gerber platform, Fox News reported that Lucas’ family will receive $50,000 as part of their grand prize winnings.
Beautiful baby!
No harm to any religion. It’s just a lamp ads by an Australian company. However, it’s funny!
I’m going to cry 😂😂
Ahaha, the reason why Mohammad is specifically mentioned as not being able to be there is because in Islam, portrayals and portraits of Mohammad are forbidden. But they didn’t want to be seen as either hand waving him as at the table but not shown or as explicitly omitted.
Very smart move there advertising script writers.
I can’t believe I just witnessed Luke Skywalker annihilate the Zodiac Killer with my own two eyes.

Remember when that cop pepper-sprayed students in 2011? UC Davis paid $175K to scrub it from the internet’s memory https://t.co/5prbgrx1WL

Nice try fuckers.
$175K wasted with every reblog.
Let’s sure they DON’T get their money’s worth.
UC Davis has apparently issued a formal apology for their attempted coverup. Their story is that they didn’t properly scrutinize their agreement with Nevins & Associates, and they didn’t hire them with the intention of erasing content or rewriting history. So, keep reblogging this. KEEP. REBLOGGING IT.
Fuck the poor! Fuck the elderly! Fuck the sick! I got mine; fuck everybody else!
1st they just wanted means testing, which he would never have passed, then when you said yes, they ended education benefits. Now they need to reduce it to “Save” it. Anyone catch on yet?
America wants progressive leadership.
Indeed!
The fighting doesn’t just end after they come home.

I will never not reblog this when it shows on my dash.
If you aren’t a veteran please try at least to be compassionate. You may not understand what is in the mind of the warrior, but you can hold their hand, and seek to heal their heart.
Many hands make light of a heavy load. They bore your liberty; now help bear their pain.
It’s freaking real and so little is being done to help 😣
