For what it’s worth, Sophie Crumb grew up to be a cartoonist herself. Enid’s drawings in Ghost World are actually credited to Sophie.

MST3K is one of the most important tv shows ever made. Size of the audience is no measure of influence. It’s like that old saying about about the Velvet Underground: They didn’t sell many records but everyone who bought one started a band.

Same reason we all shake our heads when everyone’s kids are watching minecraft youtubes 5 hours at a time

How are you reading Kotaku in 2017 and somehow mystified by the concept of professional streaming?

Hm. Most popular character from the decade’s most inexplicably popular show. Make him a cute kid. Set it in “real america” so our nerd clown can learn important life lessons from “real americans.” Liberally apply Wonder Years style schmaltz.

Superheroes saving people: Great

Tech attracts smart people and smart people are frighteningly good at rationalizing their own prejudices and bad behavior. Combine that with a capitalist culture that equates money with morality.

I thought I heard a rumor that the Macfarlane Star Trek spoof was gonna focus on lower rank crew members instead of officers. Either that was never the case or the concept was just too hard a sell for network tv. The look and jokes seemed fine to me. Here’s hoping that Seth’s famous love of science fiction means that…

Same as a LOT of manga and comics. Scott McCloud defined the technique as the “masking effect” in Understanding Comics. It’s always interesting to see which artists do everything themselves and who has a team of assistants. Hanazawa Kengo seems to rely on assistants for the backgrounds and tones so he can fully devote…

Good. Great. Let me know when Marvel regains their fucking sanity so I can think about buying their comics again.

They forget about Osiris because it was a forgettable series of action sequences that are pale imitations of scenes we’d already seen in the film. It doesn’t help that they chose to go with circa-2003 photorealistic CG which now looks worse than current gen video games.

It’s rarely a good thing to make a movie with the sequel in mind. 

Earth Girls Are Easy has THREE.

When input it on Giant Bomb, it pulls up their Concept Wiki page for Konami Code https://www.giantbomb.com/konami-code/3015-544/
