richie unterberger rounds up the lore about the velvet underground's (maybe) debut.
‘Summit High School Auditorium, Summit, NJ The frst definite Vehet Underground concert takes place at this high school about 23 miles from New York City Is an unlikely place for a debut of sorts for such an adult, innovative band, But is in the neighborhood where both Al Aronowitz and The Myddle Class live, so the Vehets ind themsehis playing to crowd of teenagers who probably have lite oo idea what ‘Heroin’ i, or what kind of Sex “Venus In Furs’ is abou. Naturally, then, the group make sure to include both songs in their brie set. Remarkably, Rob Norris will later offer detuiled eyewitness account in his 1979 arti- cle 1 Was A Velveteen” for the Kicks funinc. “Nothing could have prepared the kids and parents aseanbled in the auditorium for what they were about to experience that night” be writes. “Our only chue was the small crowd of strange-looking people hanging around in front of the stage. When the curtain went up, nobody could believe their cyes! There stood The Velvet Underground — all tall and dressed mostly in back two of them wearing. sunglasses. One of the guys vith the shades had VERY long hair and was wearing sir jewelry. He was holding a large violin. The drummer had a Beatle haircut and was stand: ing at a small oddly arranged drum ki. Was ita boy ora gir? “Before we could take it all in, everyone was hit bya screeching surge of sound, with a pounding beat louder than anything we had ever heard, About a minute into the second song, which the singer introduced as“ Heroin, the music began to get even more intense. It swelled and accelerated like a giant tidal wae: which vs threatening to cngult us all. At this point, most of the audience retreated in hor: or for the safety of their homes, thoroughly convinced of the dangers of rock'n'roll mic.

Alt føles litt som transportetapper mellom noen over-the-top koreograferte slagsmål med masse bruk av vaiere. Skulle trodd det var helt nytt på den tida.
Men kan godt like wire-fights!

Litt unødig å tisse Jackie Chan i ansiktet vel?

Prøver nå å se på d m et smil tilsv "wrinkles add character", fra en epost 👇 jeg fikk (flere år før likestilling ble allment akseptert, vel å merke)
Damn, it's GREAT to be a man!! 1.Your family name / last name stays put. 2.The garage is all yours. 3.Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. 4.You can be president. 5.You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. 6.Car mechanics tell you the truth. 7.You don't give a rat's ass if someone notices your new haircut. 8.The world is your urinal. 9.You never have to drive to another gas station because this one's just too icky. 10.Same work... more pay. 11.Wrinkles add character. 12.Wedding Dress $5000; Tux rental $100. 13.People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them. 14.The occasional well-rendered belch is practically expected. 15.New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet. 16.One mood, ALL the damn time. No PMS! 17.Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. 18.You know stuff about tanks. 19.A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. 20.You can open all your own jars. 21.Dry cleaners and hair stylists don't rob you blind.

De toute façon, Spirou et Fantasio ça a quand même vu passer pas mal de scénaristes.
Après tout, Tome & Janry n'étaient jamais que les continuateurs de Fournier, qui suivait Franquin, qui a succédé à Jijé, qui avait repris le perso de Rob Vel... 😅

BUT ALSO wow they sure did Bury Their Gays in 2025. Like, really clean-cut execution of the trope. And the solution is never "queer characters cannot die" but "have enough queer characters where them dying doesn't rob your story of their presence (Yes, Vel is around but her role effectively ends.)

et qui sera repris ensuite par Fournier ou Tome & Janry ..
c'est juste une affaire de compétence des différents auteurs qui vont reprendre le personnage

Lorsque j'etais jeune, je lisais les #Spirou de Tome et Janry. Dernièrement, j'ai voulu recommencer depuis le début du personnage mais, il n'y avait pas d'intégrale de son premier dessinateur Rob-Vel. Le personnage a eu le malheur de naître proche de la 2e guerre mondiale.

Spirou a connu dès ses débuts plusieurs changements de dessinateur, en dix ans on passe de Rob Vel à Jijé puis Franquin, là où les autres personnages ont connu le même artiste pendant des décennies.
