Trading Post / WANTED--Dan Parent Tattoo Prints
January 08, 2019, 08:45:46 AM
Years ago there were a series of tattoo-style art prints of the various ladies from Archie.
Dan Parent did, em, I think.

I wanted to buy them then, but was distracted by...a shiny thing.  :crazy2:


Anybody know where I can get them?


If individual pieces, Sabrina, Betty or Veronica, preferred, in that order.

North Pole Express, an Xmas film that came out at the same time as Incredibles 1 was CGI, & suffered from the Valley very, very badly.
Utterly killed the film, in reviews & at the box office.
Dreadful.

Pre ordered Incredibles 2 DVD off Amazon.


Get it.


It's as good as the first film.

I was underwhelmed by the first Incredibles film. To this day, I'm sort of mystified over how successful and popular it turned out to be. The film ran counter to my expectations, which is why I felt disappointed when I saw it. Based on my earlier viewing of the character designs, I'd expected to be watching a comedic superhero cartoon, but when I saw it, I didn't feel like the movie was very funny at all. So why the "cartoony" character designs, I wondered? Of course the CGI animation was superb, but I'd already seen Toy Story, so I was past being bedazzled by that aspect -- I'd already come to expect that in a Pixar-animated film. It did make me think that a similar Mighty Mouse film would work.


The style was a choice made to counter the "uncanny valley" effect, that comes from over-realistic animation.


And the plot is actually the most multi-layered plot of any Western Animation film I know of.

I remember a 70s era comic, with Betty possessed.
In that case, by a haunted teddy bear (true story).


But Archie Comics, doing "The Exorcist",  as a homage?
With Betty doing the pea-soup thing?
Sure.
Why not. 8)

Story Help / Looking For A TPB Reprint

Was the Jughead Cyrano Jones multipart story ever reprinted in a TPB format?


If so, what?

I like the idea, but unless it comes out in GN format, I probably won't be getting it.


I just buy Digests & GNs, now.
Personal reasons.

Recently, The Loud House. On Nickelodeon.


Great character design, strong, fun personalities, strong concept.
10 sisters (each with a different set of interests), on brother, two parents, dog, cat & hamster, all share on house.
Very funny.


Archie should put out a comic.
Maybe. Test it, first.
