| Rock N' Roll is more than a musical style. It is an ideal, a set of morals, even anti-morals, if you will. Rock N' Roll is the recipe to all that is awesome, and ain't nobody cooks the dish like King Rockwell cooks it, and he's been a-stormin' in the kitchen tonight. So pull up a chair and choose a spot at the table, sweet thing, dinner is served. For a tag index, try http://aliasjack.livejournal.com/ta |

Best idea: the Batfamily re-imagined as the Brothers Karamavoz. It's even more interesting because Bruce is dead these days! The birth order isn't perfect, since Dick would have to be Alyosha, being the one who actually gets people. And if you replace "thirst for vengeance" with "debauchery", Fyodor and Mitya translate pretty easily to Bruce and Jason, especially the relationship between the two. Tim and Ivan are a perfect match. We can let Damian be Smerdyakov, though it works less the more you think about it. He might be better for Ilyusha. Alfred as Gregory is obvious. That parallel is actually what put me on the whole thing. It does, however, all fall apart if you try to think of Babs as Katerina or Selina as Grushenka (a superficial fit, but only that). Oh, but maybe Helena as Grushenka? Ehhh. Steph as Katerina might work with Tim/Ivan... And dammit, I can't think of anyone to be Zosima. It needs a Zosima. | |||

1. I finally decided to scan all those pages I pencilled in June, and found that I still had page twenty-one waiting. This means there are five. 2. I was doing the panel layout on page twenty-one, and when I went to save it, I found that I'd already made one way back in April. Too bad I didn't find that I'd already finished the page. 3. Yeah, I'm kind of working on the comic again in some capacity, even if I just end up with five finished panel layouts. Baby steps. | |||

On the spinner: Electric Light Orchestra ~ "Helpless"
I'd asked if anyone wanted me to repost these over here, and then didn't follow through out of laziness. Sorry.I'm not posting 'em all at once, I'll do maybe one or two a week until they're caught up, but enough of that...  Ditko: Vic the Strongarm (pt 1) In the mid-60s, after his falling out with Marvel, Steve Ditko returned to Charlton, for whom he'd earlier co-created Captain Atom. In addition to working on that character, Ditko created two new ones who would prove to be among the more enduring of the Charlton heroes, and he featured them in the same book, Blue Beetle. Carrying the title was Ted Kord, Ditko's successor to the classic Fox Features Hero, but it isn't Ted that brings us here today. | |||

Packing a little early, just clearing my bookshelf. Something occurs to me. The DVDs I've purchased in the last seven months (since my last move) total in four. They're Venture Brothers Season Three, The Dark Knight, Anatomy of a Murder, and Dirty Harry. The comic books, on the other hand, hell just the trades since my two stacks of floppies were mostly nonexistent seven months ago when I never bought new comics, total in twenty-four! I mean, there's the Super Dictionary, The Great Outdoor Fight, Red Rocket 7, Zot!, The Atomics, Mister Miracle, Spider-Man: Reign, a Love and Rockets collection, the first volumes of 52, Gotham Central, Madman Atomic Comics and Popgun, then seven Bird of Prey trades (including a Nightwing one that ties in), two for Zero Girl, and three for the Giffen/DeMatteis Justice League (another comes out today but due to Kroger messing around with my paycheck i can't get it yet). Granted, the ratios may be higher, but compared to my DVD collection, my comics are just trying to catch up. And at least now they're not mostly Marvel. | |||

| On a different topic, regarding the earlier post featuring The Question and a Robot Shark, I've been doing a series on the history of Vic Sage in comics over at scans_daily, would anyone be interested in having me cross-post them over here? | |||

Continuing the topic of the last post, a change that would be much more jarring is if I went back and translated all of James' dialogue. I've always felt a bit lazy for that one, and want to start with the new pages, but then I guess consistency isn't exactly one of WGMD's stronger points. If I ever did a printed version, though... | |||

Now that I'm halfway through 23 myself, I wished I'd made James and Feather a few years older. Decompresses their backstory some, gives them time to be established. I can not imagine someone doing what they do at my age without a little too much suspension of disbelief. Now that I know the kind of styles she'd use, I wish I'd made Feather half Chinese instead of half Japanese. It wouldn't change anything intrinsic to her character, it would only make more sense. Then again, almost none of this is text, it's just in their profiles. I could possibly change their ages and Feather's middle name and no one'd be the wiser, up to a point. | |||

| Had a funny dream that I was at a diner, reading a gaming magazine (i don't know why!) when the guy sitting next to him scoffed and said he wouldn't trust any of it after they made Pachinko. I tell this guy in my dream that what he said is incredibly offensive, so he gets upset and defensive and says it's just that he couldn't trust that the Japanese wouldn't just make the dumbest ideas so they could spend their money gambling. I'm in sing-song now, telling him "Yep, you're a racist~~" He gets out of his chair and says "That's stupid and alarmist and I am not a racist!" before he leaves. The strawmen in my dreams are so bizarre. | |||

This isn't a lame April Fool's joke I swear It's page twenty. The rest is just an unfortunate coincidence. I swear to god, though, as soon as this chapter's done, whenever that manages to happen, I'm switching things up in the process to make it easier on me. | |||
