  • Biollante: probalby, but 59 percent is considered a "blow out" in political terms, some people are on shaky ground right now, there was evne a conservative pollset that worked for Bush warning people that if Republicans are against things like gay marriage in the near future, they would endure catastrophic losses, I don't know if it's this political cycle, but the paradigm shift already happened a while ago

  • Steveinthecity: I wonder why it's always readers that catch mistakes with art, powers, plots, continuity, uniforms, etc. and not the creators and editors?  I hope they're not secretly laughing at us. ;)

  • Steveinthecity: When Thor pulls the hammer back to throw, his momentum stops. He has always been able to float or hover once airborne, and he'll remain until the hammer comes back to him.  I guess the winds keep him aloft.

  • Biollante: ok so shouldn't Joe Quesada know that? lol  It made him look a bit stupid imo.
    May 21, 2012, 07:57:37 AM
  • Jabroniville: Yeah, that's odd- Thor usually has the Hammer out in front. Though I don't think it's ever explained how he can throw it while in mid-flight and not just plummet like a goof. I wish artists would stop having him do things like that :)

  • Steveinthecity: @Biolante:  Thor uses the hammer to fly. He can throw his hammer during flight and float in one spot until the hammer returns to him. Don't know what Joe Q. was thinking there. I've never seen Thor fly on his own.

  • Biollante: Joe Quesada was drawing Thor on some Disney promo, and he drew him flying with his hammer on his side, now I'm not a Thor junkie, but isn't that actualy inaccurate, doesn't he fly by being dragged by his hammer???

Black Lipstick
« on: October 07, 2011, 11:42:27 PM »
Has anyone noticed how in the older 40's-60's stories, it seems like the girls are wearing black lipstick?  Was this due to the limitations of colors or printing they had back then?  Intentional or not, I have to say I really like that look on Betty, Ron, etc.

I've noticed that as well...Probably limitations of colors like you said.

Most of those comics also look like they used dot matrix printers, pictures were grainy and you didn't have to hold them close to your eyes.

That same aesthetic was taken up by Jamie and Gilbert Hernandez in their Love and Rockets comic in the early 80's (still being published and my favorite comic). I still ink the lips of my female characters black from their influence coupled with the influence of early Archie comics.

Surely it's the printing and coloring techniques? I can't imagine those gals would have been drawn with black lipstick intentionally -- it seems kind of a trampy thing to wear in the 1950s.
