@90sPiictures The dub is delightfully catty.

@KDBellerose Just read it. Superman gets a Stand.

@Gravity4pe @scantierrr The comics industry was shocked when he did it. Stan wearing a rug was an open secret, and there Jack was airing his dirty laundry in public.

@Skallywag_again You should see Bill Gaines Pre and Post Comics Code.

[ELJ @eljartshack]

@ehyeahwhatever 1980s Space Ghost was a disaster.

[ELJ @eljartshack]

@Srirachachau There was a world before the last episode of Venture Bros season 1 and a world after the first episode of Venture Bros season 2.

@PC98_bot You will be missed.

@Cranberryscause @DarthK4iser DC and Archie controlled the Code through the CMAA (Archie's John L. Goldwater was president, DC's Jack Liebowitz was vp), and the Code itself was based on DC's own internal code at the time, with added provisions that would drive their competitors out of business.

@regularaugust Comic publishers make more money, and take on less risk, by directly selling to specialty shops than they do selling on newsstands or book stores.

[ELJ @eljartshack]

@naranciagaming DC and Archie controlled the Comics Code through the Comics Magazine Association of America, and the Code itself was based on DC's own internal code at the time. They took advantage of the panic to drive their competition out of business, namely horror, crime, and romance comics.

[ELJ @eljartshack]

@naranciagaming Wertham didn't cause the Great Comic Book scare. All he did was give legitimacy to an already growing movement.

If you want to blame anyone, blame DC and Archie. They controlled the Comics Code and used it to drive their competition out of business.

[ELJ @eljartshack]

@spumdonor That's incorrect. It would be more like if major family friendly movie studios used the Heyes Code to drive their competition out of business, then when the code lost power, they crashed the movie market.

[ELJ @eljartshack]

@Antonio82114325 @spumdonor That's because of the Great Comic Book Crash.

[G (comms open) @Gountro]

@gynoidherring Happy Birthday 🎉

@Todd_Spence I think it was Adam West that said the cast and crew would laugh at the material, but the moment cameras started rolling, they took it as seriously as dropping the atomic bomb.

Which is why they hated working with Otto Preminger. He wouldn't take it seriously.

[ELJ @eljartshack]

@peteherickson @LoneSkumpdfj @WinooskiNormal That's not what Dadism was about. Dadism questioned if society deserved good art after the horrors of the first World War.
