The Black Hand ®

If you register and choose your name when you're drunk or stoned. I thought Hand_Job would be hilarious at first, but after weeks of detox I came to see it as an unwise choice and petitioned the Mods to let me change it. At first they played with me, but after dozens of voice messages, of me sobbing, they relented as long as I kept one of the original words on the name. I almost went with Nut_Job, then I almost went with another variation one extremely windy day, but then I got the Blue Ribbon issue that introduced Captain Flag and his nemesis, The_Black_Hand. The rest, as they say, is more mindless internet chat board drivel.

Just you wait. I hear Archie can suck the dimples off of a pair of dice. Fixed it for ya.

Damn, this thread is just sucking the life out of my Archie thread.

Has there been a poll?

Raw high grade books are risky....low grade books are fun.

Now you post this, after I read through the whole darn thread.

Hey, did you guys know that Archie Comics is introducing a new character?

WOW.

That's for sure!

I've read every Captain Future story there is. So there!

Hey Richard, this comic reminds me, are you still smoking?

This was posted in the WC. Forgive me if you've already seen it.

Best thread going and the least self-serving. A pure joy to peruse.

I didn't know you could have a piece missing like that and still get a fine+?

Curious..by fluid, do you mean more action based humor -- ala Tex Avery, for example? A lot of the Jones Bugs cartoons are very talky and much of the humor is verbal. Jones took Bugs to levels of humor that none of the other Warner directors ever did. The man was a true comic genius. Bill The animation was more static than the earlier Buggs Bunny. Look, I don't disagree with what you say about Jones. I know what I like and don't care for his work on Bugs. Just my take.

I watched some of the Jones stuff on TCM and really like the line and the dot piece. However, while I appreciate the artistry involved, I didn't care much for his Bugs Bunny shorts. The animation just wasn't fluid enough for me.

I agree, it definitely looks like his work. Has Fujitani's GA stories ever been collected in a best of volume? If not, they should be. But so should artists like Harry Lucey and Al Camy.
