My favorite Bob Kane story:
"Bob had gotten to the point where he never drew anything. Never drew anything on the Batman comics, anyway. [Sheldon] Moldoff was ghosting them all and when he didn't, someone else did. The only thing I think Bob ever drew was when we'd be out somewhere, in a restaurant or someplace, and a pretty girl would come over to him and say, 'Are you really the man who draws Batman?' Then he could whip out a little sketch for her, a big sketch if she was wearing something low-cut and would bend over to watch him draw. One day I'm over at his house to discuss this newspaper strip idea we had and he's talking about who we might get to draw it. I was going to write it and we were going to get someone else to draw it. I'm not sure what Bob was going to do on it except sign his name. I said to him, 'Bob, isn't it disappointing to you that you don't draw any more? You were once such a great artist.' He wasn't but you had to talk to Bob that way. He said, 'Oh, no. Let me show you something.' He took me into a little room in his house. It was his studio. I didn't even know he still had a studio. It was all set up with easels and things and there were paintings, paintings of clowns. You know the kind. Like the ones Red Skelton used to do. Just these insipid portraits of clowns, all signed very large, 'Bob Kane.' He was so proud of them. He said, 'These are the paintings that are going to make me in the world of art. Batman was a big deal in one world and these paintings will soon be in every gallery in the world.' He thought the Louvre was going to take down the Mona Lisa to put up his clown paintings. I didn't have the heart to tell him. So a few months later, I'm up at DC and I ran into Eddie Herron. Eddie was another writer up there and we got to talking and Bob's name came up. Eddie said, 'Did you hear? Bob's getting sued by one of his ghost artists. I said, 'How is that possible? Shelly Moldoff's suing Bob? But they had a clear deal. Shelly knew he wasn't going to get credit or anything..? Eddie said, 'No, not Shelly.' Bob was being sued by the person who'd painted the clowns for him..." Arnold Drake (via arecomicsevengood)

I LOVE pies, and in 1940 I joined a monastery because I was told I could lead a very pious lifestyle. What a load of bollocks. I've spent almost seven decades with no trousers or socks, praising God and shit and pulling on a bastard rope to ring a fucking bell. If that wasn't arseache enough, they wake me up at four in the morning to chant and tend a fucking beehive. As for pies, there hasn't been a sniff of one since the day I joined. All we eat is fucking porridge. Brother Dominic Anselm Brinkburn Priory

ground bird
(rerun)
A chicken stares up at a smaller bird in a tree, mocking him saying "haha! Ground bird! 'lost the ability to fly because of selective breeding'-ass bird!" The chicken begins extending its neck towards the branch, the other bird exclaims "oh shit!" The chicken, now at eye level with the smaller bird says "fuck you." later the chicken sits on the edge of a cliff, his neck still incredibly long, and says to itself "the drive for revenge has fundamentally changed who I am into something I can no longer recognize as myself. There is no place for me now in my old life"

Remember when we used to get proper review of the year, in 1990 Jonathan Dimbleby had a look at Teenage Mutant hero* Turtles. BBC still only brought the first 4 series

Sick to death of people claiming Die Hard isn’t a movie. There are several clues that it definitely is:

It’s 130 minutes long and full of actors

It has a beginning a middle and an end

It has a soundtrack

The aspect ratio is consistent of other movies of the era

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

All from his movies.

Enjoy this old GIF with added sound. I'm not a fan of shouting, so I had to take a trip to some empty forest to record the scream. Apologies if you were scared by a loud shout in the woods yesterday

OINK! (1986): Brilliantly subversive kid's comic which featured strips from Charlie Brooker, Tony Husband, Frank Sidebottom, and Marc 'Lard' Riley. Caused a proper stink at the time; WH Smith eventually moved it to the top shelf!
