Holiday Comics #7

no.

Hi, guys 'n' gals. Open invitation to my town, Tampa Bay.

Dr. as opposed to Nurse comics. Ben Casey, Dr. Kildare, The Young Doctors, etc.

Agreed.

Double Dame covers even more so. 2 Women for the price of 1? I think not.

Me too. I'll go dig out my Dell and Charlton nurse comics. Plus some others you may like. (Probably never seen Gerber 9 or 10s.) What about Dr. comics?

That's what I thought. I can't look it up at the moment. What are the numbers based on the Overstreet/CGC conditions of each, I meant.

Which is more valuable? Spidey 20 or the APC?

Nice work. I'll stick it in the Homage thread over in Modern. OK?

Why Chicks Cry

http://johnglenntaylor.blogspot.com/2009/06/66-panels-why-chicks-cry.html

They say that into every life a little rain must fall, especially if you are a female trapped in a romance comic. I never read romance comics much, and more's the pity, because I could have learned a lot about the fairer sex, such as what makes them cry. Turns out, pretty much anything...

Your first hickey

I play a game with people I don't know online. Place two works of art next to each other and ask if it's theft, swipe, homage or coincidence.

The time between when the works was created is key to the artists motivation as well as when the art was made. People in the past would think a long enough time has passed and no one will remember. What with the vast internet archives and the, "Gotcha" mentality, one cannot get away with theft anymore. Eventually, maybe after the artist is dead, someone will put the pieces together and out the artist.

These days, one would be adjured to sign any artwork homage/swipe, "After Kirby, (then the artist's name)" or be labeled a swiper/thief.

How would you describe photo referencing? Unknown stock photos v. famous images that are iconic? Source the icons. Stock photos of, say, people/animals/buildings, etc are fair game.

Discuss, please.
