Benjy got game!

Steve Englehart’s Dr. Strange run is my absolute favorite, though I don’t know that Clea being both Strange’s apprentice and his live-in lover would work today.

I see. Well then.

He also liked them big as well. Benny was all about the big bottomed MILFs

Didn’t he have some turn of phrase like, “everyone has grey hair when the lights are out?”

To be fair, by all accounts Ben Franklin had epic game.

Ha, that’s amazing! That’s some “Superman is a Dick” level fucking-with-the-mere-mortals.

It will never not be funny to me that Dr. Strange’s most significant relationship was dissolved because of Ben Franklin

That’s between Larson and his friends - and maybe they’re arguing about it in the great beyond - but personally, if I have to choose between my death inspiring something and just being dead, I’m going with Door Number One. Who cares if someone gets rich or famous with it? I’m dead in this scenario—there won’t be any…

Who do you trust to decide what should be protected speech?

That totally reaffirms my feeling that Mark was the author stand-in (in addition to the character I most related to as a teenager).

We are all familiar with Ulysses Solomon Archer and his space exploits

Yep

Didn’t she used to wear aerobics-style leg warmers? I feel like I remember seeing her in leg warmers. 

I’m sure that I have the 1st appearance of Razorback around here somewhere. Even as a kid, I thought “Why?”

The multiverse means EVERYTHING’S part of the MCU.

I love the logo personally. It’s very 90s in a way that I think cues up the exact kind of fun absurdity that the comics can produce at their best.

I love the line from the bag lady in Rent who says “my life’s not for you to make a name for yourself” as it’s basically what Larson did to all his friends who died. 

I mean ...

That was part of the irony of Larson’s death, right? One of his best friends had been diagnosed with HIV at a time when it was still considered a death sentence. Given the ubiquity of HIV in the performing arts community through the 90s, it informs Larson’s experience (and all of RENT). But then it was…

The difference here is that communism is rad and transphobia sucks.
