I write dumb, vulgar shit about cool comics (and dumb comics (seldom vulgar comics)) which I pretend are reviews but are actually deep stares (too deep!) into my worthless soul.
Lobo should become the new Destruction with The Endless. He already looks like one of them.

Prologue to The Lord of the Rings: You want to know more about Hobbits? They're fat fuckers who love to get high. Their most proud accomplishment is smoking weed. One of them once rode a horse. They think working sucks. Also they're the only reason the world still exists.

When you're young, stories about romance and fucking make you feel alive. When you're old, you need stories of heartbreaking, unendurable sadness to feel the tiniest amount of anything through the heavy callous of world-weariness covering your heart.

Whenever I see somebody praise common sense over education, I think about how common sense says the sun revolves around the Earth. Common sense is simply making lazy assumptions based on gut feelings and our body's inefficient data input organs.

Paranoia is the search for meaning in a world where all faith in religion has been lost. If religion is about putting order to a random and chaotic universe then where do you find that order when you can't believe in religion anymore? You find it in conspiracies.

I don't think enough people know that Thomas Pynchon's novels are absolutely hilarious. Sure, they're difficult. But I think if more people knew going in how funny they are, more people would attempt the read.
