Derek: please stop! If you have some moral qualm with theft, there’s the public library, webcomics, web-video people who want no more “support” than your eyeballs. You’re under no duty to “support comics”– comics exist to amuse you, not for you to help them build pyramids. It’s a businessman’s job (which they’re paid to do) to figure out how to make money from a receptive audience, not your job to figure out how to be HELPING them remove money from your wallet. Whoever you think you’re supporting– they’re not going to pick you up from the airport. They’re strangers who only want your money– they’re not putting out variant covers as a favor to you. Their happiness is not more important than yours– you’re a delicate flower! (Like, spiritually speaking?). Anyways, please, please stop.

“When I talk I am animated and I talk with my hands,” Brewer told Greta Van Susteren last night on Fox. “The picture was probably shot when I was moving my hands around.”

However, Brewer went on to describe Obama as “thin-skinned.” He was complaining about how she had depicted a White House meeting between them in her memoir, “Scorpions for Breakfast,” she said.

The subject of that meeting was Arizona’s tough law cracking down on illegal immigrants, which Brewer signed into law and the administration opposes.

“It was [as] though President Obama thought he could lecture me, and I would learn at his knee,” she wrote. “He thinks he can humor me and then get rid of me.”

When they were hired, most appeared to have known they were making history. The family of Alvin Taylor of Palmetto, Fla., described him simply as “the first African-American in every appointment he attained.” A woman named Dorothy Allen in Saginaw, Mich., never knew of a black probation officer in her county, but in 1974, she applied anyway because she had a sociology degree, heard of an opening and needed the job. “Everybody knew who had which jobs,” her husband, Dempsey, said. “There could have been some judge’s nephew that wanted that job. We were shut out time and time again. But she went in there and got it.” They celebrated in Detroit that weekend, and decades later, he would put the line in her obituary: “First black probation officer in Saginaw County, Mich.

I like how the guitar sounds on here. Or maybe it’s a bass. I dunno. I don’t know anything about guitars.

edit: I asked around, it’s called “palm muting”

I love how Gangrene’s beats sound. Alch and Oh No have distilled that sinister Mobb Deep sound that Alch perfected into something even grimier somehow, like FanDam-era El-P stopped in for some guest production.

I was really enjoying the faces here (green bow is best, but the ballet couple are pretty great) when I hit the cross. I was flipping through pretty quickly and briefly thought that the girl was holding the cross. It was a good fifteen seconds. I wanted to read that book.

jjthejetplane013 asked: What's your opinion on the state of manga? I read an article of the downfall in publication and sales of manga in the U.S. starting with a steady decline since 2004.

I hadn’t really thought about the state of manga before this question. I have some quibbles (Kodansha’s digital manga is vapor, I have issues with Yen Press’s approach, Viz Signature needs to be available digitally), and some stuff I love (Vertical Inc in general, a lot of dumb shonen from Viz, and a bunch of Viz Signature books).

I’m too fond of a small slice of the manga pie to really get anything about worrying about the entire pie. Manga for me is like… One Piece, books where people get shot while smoking cigarettes, and the odd series Vertical picks up.

The publishers closing and turning to Kickstarter to get books done is pretty sad, though.
