At Super Frat it’s Rewritten Headlines: Barbara Walters to Sea Hare.
And the Quote of the Day is from Mark Waid:
“I believe that the reader has to stay in control of the experience, just like with a book or magazine or printed comic … It needs to be up to you, the reader, to decide at what pace you go through the story. Once the creator starts adding music, voices, animation, or anything that imposes moving time on the experience, your control as a reader over the pacing is taken from you, and it becomes a more passive—and certainly a different—experience.”
Today at Super Frat, it’s a new strip called Just One Pity Bang.
And the Quote of the Day is from Bill Watterson:
“If someone wants to be a cartoonist, let’s see him develop his own strip instead of taking over the duties of someone else’s. We’ve got too many comic strip corpses being propped up and passed for living by new cartoonists who ought to be doing something of their own. If a cartoonist isn’t good enough to make it on his own work, he has no business being in the newspaper.”
At Super Frat, it’s Twitter in Focus with Donal Logue.
And the Quote of the Day is from Dave McKean:
“The depressing majority of comics seem to be about violence of one sort or another, […] And I just don’t enjoy violence. I can see that narratively it is often a powerful spike in a story, but I certainly don’t want to dwell on it. I don’t want it in my real life, I don’t find violence entertaining in and of itself, or exciting, or funny. But sex is happily part of most people’s lives, and crosses the mind most days, I would say, even if it’s just watching your partner get out of bed in the morning. […] Most pornography is pretty awful. I mean, it does the job at the most utilitarian level, but it rarely excites other areas of the mind, or the eye. It’s repetitive, bland and often a bit silly. I was interested in trying to do something that has an aesthetic beauty to it if possible, and something that tickles the intellect as well as the more basic areas of the mind. Maybe that’s not possible, and as soon as you start to think too much, it stops working as pornography. I don’t think so, but I guess it’s in the eye and mind of the viewer.”
At Super Frat, MPH asks the president for advice in Poopus Interuptus.

“What God did not do is invent our EGO.”
