Two comics for #gentlecomicshabit

One is unofficial, and I spent some minutes on it to make sure it worked. The other I did under a minute.

"The Church was dealing with a lot of corruption, at the time..."

It's *always* dealing with corruption!

Vatican 2 wasn't enough - they need a Vatican 3 and *really* modernize the shit out of everything.

Francis Ford Coppola is Actually Shooting ‘Distant Vision’ Next Month — His First Italian-Language Film — World of Reel

Coppola says “Distant Vision” will be “shot entirely live,” and that it will be “much harder” and “more ambitious” to make than “Megalopolis.”

Y'all told these motherfuckers it was OK to let trans people lose their rights. Now they're banking on people letting them abandon everyone who looks vaguely Latino as well as actual immigrants. Who are y'all advocating for moderation gonna abandon next?

I remember how the committee was offended that Bob Dylan was considering not even showing up and didn’t particularly care. They thought he should have been singing their praises, whereas he just shrugged, picked up the award and doesn’t really talk about it.

Is actually literally the fake Nobel Prize. As in, it's not one of the prizes stipulated by Nobel's will.

I remember as a kid, they would have science nerd characters dismiss the Nobel Peace Prize as a lesser award compared to the hard science ones.

Now grown up, I realize:
1) Given how many war criminals have won it, they were sort of right, but not in the way they thought.
2.) Nobel Economics Prize

Reading a book on Auschwitz and Nazis and just came across a bit discussing how the Nazis first planned to ship millions of Jews to Africa and how that idea, in 2004 when the book was written, seems 'far fetched today'.

20 years later, how many people did the Tories want to send to Rwanda?

I always found the character of Flippa Dippa to be very odd, but apparently, he was a reference to an obscure play starring a pre-Blazing Saddles Cleavon Little.

Flippa Dippa of the Newsboys Legion, as drawn by Jack Kirby

Write up of Scuba Duba in Life Magazine, 1967, with Cleavon Little

There came a time when the old gods died! The brave died with cunning! The noble perished, locked in battle with unleashed evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!

All right, just turned in the last strips of my second year on FLASH GORDON. That's 730 installments in the bag -- appearing in a rough average of 1.5 panels per strip, I've drawn Flash about 1,095 times. Still takes me a couple tries to get his hair right. Tomorrow we start on year three ⚡

Flash Gordon and Prince Thun take on a squad of green-skinned Shark Men

And old man looks up at a mural of Flash Gordon crossing swords with Ming the Merciless.

Flash Gordon frees Edda from her locked helmet, and the mechanic can't help herself from laying a smooch on him.

Flash Gordon negotiates with Empress Aura. "Tch. Fine," she sneers, conciliating. "Savior of the Universe..."

He smiles back. "You love it."

Same with Elmer Bernstein doing the scores for all those big 80's comedies.

Bernard Herrmann writing the scores for both Citizen Kane and Taxi Driver always felt like two different worlds colliding to me.

I mean, Scorsese, DeNiro and Foster still make movies and Taxi Driver is way older than Citizen Kane was when Taxi Driver was made.

Dmitri Shostakovich saw Jesus Christ Superstar! He also liked it so much he considered writing a rock music themed suite (like his earlier Jazz suites) but died soon after.
