Who was the first Pop-Politician? Was it Reagan? Was it JFK? Politicians who were less the wonky mechanitions of some sort of plan—but more like the manifestation of some sort of cultural sigil—more important for their iconography/aesthetics than the things which they actually do?
Was thinking of Sarah Palin as like Debbie Gibson. Mall pop for the lunatic fringe, right down to the...

I know this may not sit well with my followers, hell even the tumblr community at large, but what I’m about to write is honest-to-god how I feel about homosexuality in comics. This isn’t a grab at attention, and I’m certainly not attempting to “troll” any individual or group in distaste.

Truth and reality are questions for a hundred years ago. I think as a post-information society, we’ve moved past that. Truth is no longer what is important to us.

I would not say we’ve traveled down the exact same...
