I live in Jersey City, and think you should too! Flaming Fire singer, notebook drawer and animator, sound looper, Patricia Highsmith fan, NJ real estate broker.
@PunisherHQ If Garth Ennis isn’t writing him, then The Punisher doesn’t really work for me. Would be fun to read a run by Fabien Nury (Tyler Cross is a great gangster comic) Simon Spurrier, Christos Gage, David Lapham, Azzarello, or Brubaker, though.
@jeanguerre@latimes Hi Jean, loved this column. Could you share a couple labels used by the left for the right that we should consider retiring, to have more productive discussions? Or the right for the left?
@nicnok850 @No_Context_JTC Any scriptural-based God face would look too stupid (goofy bearded guy) or too psychedelic hippy (Daniel, Revelations) for Chick. Angels can have 50s IBM scientist haircuts — but not God. Also, maybe his face is so bright and blinding, it can only be blank white like a lightbulb?
@LillianBustle Would love to chat you about your research — giving local performing artists more autonomy in JC is a passion of mine, and I have a couple hair-brained schemes in mind…
@LillianBustle Lillian, I did the same research a long time ago — like in 2006 — and asked around with old-timers. What I heard was that in the 60s/70s, some JC law-and-order mayor (Whelan?) de facto outlawed new live music venues for being tawdry, and by the 2000s, there was nothing left.
@kierongillen It’s hard to beat those Marvel books they used to have in kid’s libraries — 2 or 3 stories, an origin and something else, with lots of Stan Lee hepcat yammering. I can still remember most of the stories, — hulk had an origin, an absorbing man, and a doc samson psych session.
@DystopianDisco If SM turns into a hand painted ‘70s Sesame Street type animation, I’m interested. Also hope hoping the giggle / clapping thing turns into a hand-rolled cigarette husked wry “heh heh heh” laugh with long “waking life” style discussions on art and literature
@thomaslennon Is there a chance for a Le Divorce 2 — Roger’s Story? There are a lot of other family paintings he could still be upset about, in exciting and exotic locations.
@DystopianDisco@eatinerni Would Ritz crackers or tortilla chips with salsa bump up “American cheese nachos” to Heaven, @DystopianDisco? That was my 8th grade go to, along with Shasta ice cream float, to eat 90 minutes before dinner… For something fancy, substitute white bread + hot dogs w spaghetti sauce
