  WHY MUST WE DRAG THE OVER-BEATEN CARCASS OF POLITICS INTO EVERYTHING?

  Can’t I read a damn comicbook without someone griping about it? *cry* ;_;

  Danny Hellman drew a lot of marvelous illustrations for the print edition of bOING bOING, so perhaps you shouldn’t be reading Boing Boing either.

  I’ll be taking Lane’s (the cover artist) drawing class next semester. I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited about school.

  What makes “Chupachupsdumonde” think I’m a Republican? I’ve never voted Republican in my life! I’m a goddamned registered Democrat!

  Anyway, HOTWIRE #2 is a fine book, and Tim Lane is an amazing artist; one of a very few whose drawings always leave me awestruck. (David Paleo’s drawings also tend to leave me awestruck, and he’s also in HOTWIRE #2).

  I used to laugh at people that would avoid an artist because of that artist’s religious beliefs, until I noticed a distinct cooling of my taste for Beck when I found out he was a Scientologist. Of course Scientology is less a religion, and more a cult.

  @Mark- Oh snap. Well played, sir.

  If I’d seen that cover as a youngster, I would have been thoroughly traumatized. Therefore, it is thoroughly great.

  #1: Actually, I feel that way about Ted Rall, who sued Hellman over a joke and is the sort of attention whore that gives liberals a bad name. So there.

  I would never buy a comic book with that republican Danny Hellman in it, or any of his friends. Ask Ted Rall why. Support liberal cartoonists and boycott the bad guys.
