    Laura's Mom Reviews Chris Ware's Best American Comics 2007

    Myriad Issues: My Mom Reviews Chris Ware's Best American Comics 2007

    Mom: "I can’t read this. This is awful. First of all, the panels are so busy. They’re jammed with lines and clutter, and it makes you want to get out of the panels as fast as you can. He has all these hash marks and no negative space. This guy just--he has this compulsion to fill everything. The only thing that has any space is the balloons.

    And it’s just... very anal. The character is very superficial. He believes that anything he thinks or wants at the time should happen. He goes to Minnesota or whatever to visit this girl... And then he wants to make out, and she doesn’t want to, but he doesn’t care. He’s so superficial that he doesn’t even realize that the other person doesn’t enjoy him at all.

    It’s too busy. And disconnected and rambling. It shouldn’t be published."

    These are pretty fun reviews, and very astute. I especially like her thoughts on Bechdel's Fun Home.

    The 40 Worst Rob Liefield drawings of all time

    Progressive Boink

    True story: Rob Liefield made me hate comics in the mid-90s.

    The most important thing you need to know before reading about all the terrible things Rob Liefeld has drawn is that he has never seen or talked to a woman in his life and has no idea what they look like or how their bodies operate. If you asked Rob Liefeld to draw a diagram of the uterus he'd put on a pair of gauntlets and punch the shit out of your chalkboard. This is how the man operates, and though I know it sounds like a lot, you have to believe me. I don't want you looking at the stuff he's drawing and think he's a conscious adult male with a creative job who can and has influenced the minds of young artists. The man is a pair of blue jeans with a face. He has on a backwards cap, and when he turns it around, it's still backwards.

    Got it?

    Okay. The #40 spot is a catch-all for "any time Rob Liefeld has ever drawn a woman." We get more specific from here, but if we didn't lump these together the entire list would be broken spines and colossal hooters.

    I geniunely feel these are mistakes.

    This is what a woman looks like to Rob Liefeld. I can't even kid about this. It's fucking ridiculous. Fucking ricockulous. She's wearing a string of pouches where her stomach should but could not possibly be and both her thighs and forearms are larger than her abdomen. She has a big ole ass and torpedo tits, and I geniuenly think that when Rob finished drawing her he sat back, frowned, looked over at his friend, and said "yikes, sorry, guy."

    Is this Zen, or just not funny?

    (postmodernbarney.com)

    Dorian Wright brings us a two-page Pop Korn strip that in theory should be full of gags, but never actually even approaches humor. If I was a kid, I would have found this slightly disturbing. Like when David Lynch tries to tell a joke.
