    If Mars can be made to look anything like Frank Cho's vision, I'm all for it.

    Some people consider file sharing progressive taxation, if not outright advertising.

    I would wager that most of the big software vendors enjoying immense market share wouldn't be doing so were it not for "piracy", "warez" and file sharing, getting their stuff into the hands of those talented enough to use it, but poor enough to be unable to afford it.

    Likewise there are musicians and artists who would have vanished from the scene, if it hadn't been for downloadable files to alert and encourage us to seek out and support their efforts.

    I know for a fact that I would not be buying the work of Frank Cho, or Philippe Buchet had I not first found them as scans in the a.b hierarchy.

    Likewise, Goldfrapp and Invader Zim.

    I didn't hear Goldfrapp on the local FM or catch the original airing of Zim on Nick. But I have bought all of the Goldfrapp catalog (and sold some of it too), as well as buying all 3 DVD's of Zim, and the only reason I did was...."piracy" alerted me to their existence.

    This whole copyright/intellectual property thing strikes me the same way as the "War on Drugs" has.

    The little people get to watch the spectacle of a bunch of suits bandying about a bunch of numbers pulled from their collective anuses, patting themselves on their backs after criminalizing something that only threatened their control.

  5. Re:hype alert by Jeremy+Erwin · · Score: 1 · on The Opus Interview

    Yeah, it's distinctly possible that if Cho wasn't censored to bits, the proportion of lame jokes and "art" strips might well have diminished.

  6. Re:Emacs by chimpo13 · · Score: 3, Funny · on Georgy Tells Why She Should Be California Gov

    I'm glad I signed my name on her petition to run, but there's so many great unqualified candidates running I don't know who to vote for. Larry Flynt, the porn guy. Mary Carey, the porn star. Angelyne, the expensive hooker. Gary Coleman from Dirty Work. Hercules in New York.

    I think the winner should be decided by a monkey knife fight.

    Although yes, the comic may cater to mass consumption as Frank Cho likes drawing women... and he draws them very, very well. [He draws everything well, but his human figures could walk right off the page... probably has something to do with going to college to be a nurse].

    His illustrations are amazing, and from the archive of censored strips [and his earlier work during college, 'University **2' [that's 'squared' for you non-fortran programmers]], he does try to push the limit of what's allowed in comics. Mostly through his frat-boy like characters.

    The main thing that stands out is his drawing, as it's simply breathtaking. I don't know how well it stands up to standard newsprint, but they also release a comic book sized issue every few weeks with about 6 weeks of collected work.

    The story lines, although sometimes go off on a complete tangent [There's a definate influence of British Comedy in there...I think there may have even been a few direct references], but I've yet to see one that wasn't funny.
