At Super Frat, it’s Your Fratoscope for June 16, 2013.

Today’s Sunday, The Funnicks, is for the ladies!

And the Quote of the Week is from Kelley Jones via Strange Kids Club:

“The shocking moments in a comic (or film) only matter if a believable atmosphere can build up the tension- a great horror story should be filled with premonition and dread. It’s fun and a challenge to draw the things that lead a reader to the place that most people don’t want to go. I think there’s a lot of beauty in the grotesque.”

At Super Frat, it’s Movies I Wish I Missed: Dark Shadows.

And the Quote of the Day is from Colleen Doran via SciFiPulse:

“As silly as it seems, there were many segments of the comic market that were openly hostile to female customers. I meet a lot of young girls who have no perception or understanding of this. And that makes me very happy. If they don’t experience it, that means things have changed. That is what we want. The odd thing is when you run into young girls who make comments about how they don’t know why women complain about sexism in comics, because they never experienced it! Other people already took the bullet for them. They don’t have any perception of prior hostilities.”

At Super Frat, it’s Rewritten Headlines: NSA to Rupert Murdoch.

And the Quote of the Day is from Norm Breyfogle via Norm Breyfogle.com:

“All of modern culture (not just “pop”) is constantly cross-pollinating. A lot of comics have been adaptations from other cultural sources (as with the “Classics Illustrated” line and other movie and literature adaptations), but the rest of culture has also adapted ideas that originated in comics (especially lately, with movies based on comics ideas). “

I did the Geeky Universe Podcast yesterday.  With video and everything.  Check out episode 9.

At Super Frat, it’s a new strip called Everyone’s a Channel.

And the Quote of the Day is from Kurt Busiek via The Comics Reporter:
“…I like the idea that storytelling is a kind of two-part telepathy. The writing is an act of translation, of putting on paper an imperfect version of what’s in the writer’s brain, but that’s between the writer and the page. The story happens between the page and the reader, and it’s the translation that happens as what’s on paper enters the reader’s mind. “
