is this as good as people say it is?
It's the Earthbound of comics: hyped up, only actually experienced by a handful of people who like it more for hipster cred than actual quality and it's overrated.
Earthbound is a genuinely fun game, though.
You sound like a homosexual.
He's right and the dearth of discussion online proves that.
he's right in that most people who discuss comics online haven't read it, because a) it's old(er), b) it's not capeshit, c) it's from a lesser-known publisher, d) it's in black and white, and finally e) people who feel the desire to discuss comic books online are homosexuals with no taste
>e) people who feel the desire to discuss comic books online are homosexuals with no taste
That's cool, let this comic degrade into the longboxes of history instead of trying to share it with new generations then.
I recommend it all the time but there's always homosexuals like you who say "ackshually it's shit"
Actually I never read it because it's been going on for 30 years without ending. Sounds like a soap opera.
soap operas are good
I guess I was right in avoiding it all these years.
Locas is a slightly more poignant soap opera. It only veers into full melodrama in one of the major arcs, but it works.
Flies on the Ceiling is one of the best comics I've ever read and basically you talk like a gay and your shit's all moronic
I think they frick on page at least several times.
Yes it's great.
>I think they frick on page at least several times.
So its like an Empowered situation and I'll just have to jerk off to the actual comic itself? That so fricked up.
Locas isn't particularly pornographic anyhow
not really, no.
No, it's just "comfort food" for some.
I'd pork that b***h.
It's great, but not for everyone.
The Bros spin a great yarn here and there, but not many will want to read them.
Locas ended for with The Love Bunglers for me.
For Locas, volumes 1 (at least, once Locas picks up), 2, and part of 3 (up to the end of The Love Bunglers) are great, though I'm not a fan of Return of the Ti-Girls.
I'm not really interested in the Tonta stuff, though I did like Vivian as a character.
You want porn?
I suggest Birdland, instead.
It's by the same people who put out Love and Rockets.
It was only a four comic serial, but it was also turned into a graphic novel.
>You want porn?
>I suggest Birdland, instead.
I want porn of Maggie.
I've only read a bit of it so far but I've enjoyed that bit a lot.
Yeah, everybody wants to frick Magpie...
What?
That's Maggie's full name.
Keep reading.
You'll find out.
I will. The only reason I stopped is cause I got to a few wall of text pages and was too tired to keep going.
This happened to me the first time I checked out Jaime's Love and Rockets for the first time. I was expecting something grounded like Heartbreak Soup, but instead I got bizarre mesh of science fiction and slice of life. The amount of text in that first Mechanics story didn't win me over either.
However, I've been rereading the early Locas stories, and while I still think Gilbert slightly edges Jaime out as a writer, I have a newfound appreciation for Jaime's comics. From the beginning his characters are so well developed and fleshed out, and his art is immaculate. The way he uses blacks rivals Alex Toth and Eduardo Risso.
There are a ton of canon scenes of Maggie naked and Maggie getting fricked in the actual love and rocket comic.
Ew
?
Been reading it since 1987 non stop. Jamie went kinda aimless after they grew up, he didnt know what to do with them. Beto went over the top with his big breasts and fake movies BS with Fritz. It's not as great as it used to be but the Hernandez bros are in their 60s now. It is barely interesting now with the new crop of teen girls who are boring as frick: tonta and her friends. Still reading it but its glory days are behind now. They plan to do up to issue 50 of the new series and retire. It's great if you wanna read great old comics from the 80s and 90s but most people dont give a damn. I mean Hopey is a 60 years old ugly dyke now with white hair, and not the cute little punk dyke.
1-50 are peak comics, but I agree that volume 2 has been pretty mediocre.
However, is there a cartoonist that hasn't gotten worse in their old age? I cannot think of a single one
in fact, Crumb did his best work in the 1980s in Weirdo and HUP after drawing for almost 2 decades. But he is the only one.
I think comics artists have about 20 years of good work in them. But now that's down to 10-15 years at most.
Crumb might be the exception. His COVID comic with Aline and Sophie were still very accomplished.
where did you see that?? in what book? I havent seen it. Too bad Aline died in April. She was a force of nature...I wanetd to buy those Mindshaft and scan them but they are too expensive.
It was in Sauve-Qui-Peut Comics from David Zwirner. Very expensive (40+ bucks), but it's Crumb so I bought it anyways. Agreed on Aline though, she was a treasure. Her and Crumb's Dirty Laundry is a one of kind book
Thanx for the info. Any chance of scanning it? I scanned the Drawn Together that has all their stuff. Apparently they had an open marriage that they didn't really discuss in the comics. Her boyfriend lived in the house in France with them. Whatta couple. Poor guy is so unlucky, first his son died, then his first wife, now Aline. I thought he had quit doing comics altogether.
> Apparently they had an open marriage that they didn't really discuss in the comics
It's very discussed, and Crumb definitely did not get the short end of the stick. Also Jesse is not dead and Dana died in the 2010s.
Recently, Crumb said he was done drawing though. Most of his recent drawings were just things he drew with his grandkids.
And I don't have a scanner, so I won't be scanning the COVID book.
he is dead: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0190051/ Jesse Crumb was born on 1 April 1968 in San Francisco, California, USA. He was previously married to Erica Detlefsen. He died on 3 January 2018 in Redding, California, USA.
stupid car accident, the most ridiculous way to die
Oh, no shit. I definitely thought he was still alive. Sophie is still around though. I just bought a comic with a pinup from her
>I mean Hopey is a 60 years old ugly dyke now with white hair, and not the cute little punk dyke.
She's literally an insert for Jaime's ex who looks exactly like her. He had a kid with her and then she decided she was a full-on dyke. Thankfully he's now in a relationship with comic artists Katie Skelly. I feel like the series works best when it's semi-autobiographical, so if Jaime switched the focus to Ray (Jaime's self-insert) becoming a hot-shot artist and banging a girl half his age (Which he kind of already did), I'd be okay with it.
>She's literally an insert for Jaime's ex who looks exactly like her. He had a kid with her and then she decided she was a full-on dyke.
Also Tank Girl is just a ripoff of Hopey Glass.
>Also Tank Girl is just a ripoff of Hopey Glass.
Is that even true?
>Martin and Hewlett first met in the mid-1980s in Worthing, while studying at The West Sussex College of Art and Design (WSCD, later renamed Northbrook College). Martin was in the college band The University Smalls with fellow comics enthusiast Philip Bond. One of their songs was called "Rocket Girl". They had started adding the suffix 'girl' to everything habitually after the release of the Supergirl movie, but "Rocket Girl" was a student at college on whom Bond had a crush and who apparently bore a striking resemblance to a Love and Rockets character.
It seems more like it planted the seed in their heads.
>I mean Hopey is a 60 years old ugly dyke now with white hair, and not the cute little punk dyke.
Luckily Jaime still packs in the 80s flashbacks. He knows where the money in this comic is.
He does the comic as he pleases. Why should he act like some capeshit hack?
what is it even about
Latinas
>I want to FRICK Maggie Chascarillo
She's bi so you're in luck.
>This comic has been running for over 40 years and there's NO porn
I'm sure porn fanart exists and also that Gilbert and Jaime have a secret porn stash of their characters
anyone have a link to pirate the first volume (Music for Mechanics)?
the usual sources are letting me down
(no fed)
Gimme a sec.

cbz even, i appreciate you
i guess my mistake was looking for the older books and not the newer omnibus editions
thanks
They're all on getcomics.
So both Hopey and Maggie start out straight, right? I was confused by that. It starts with them in bed together naked but then confirms they're not in a relationship because Maggie has a crush on Rex. And then come page 31 (where I am now)
, that's Hopey in bed with a man, right?
>They're all on getcomics.
ah, so they are
i was confused with what was what, thinking those were only newer stories and not the original stuff
thanks again, i'm straightened out now
>both Hopey and Maggie start out straight, right?
>that's Hopey in bed with a man, right?
Keep reading, brave anon, and you will see.
no. it was the 1980s. Jaime couldnt just come out and say they are "lesbians", he had to be subtle. They were shown to sleep in the same bed in the very first panel in the very first episode. He teased the audience for years with Are they? Arent they? It was obvious Hopey was but we werent sure about Maggie.
WHat I hated in the new volume is how all of a sudden now Doeyl or however spell his name is bi/gay also, he gave Rey and BJ when they were both drunk. I didnt buy it for a second and I thought it was excessive BS.
The drawing is deliberately NOT clear if it is a man or not. And Hopey did sleep with a black guy when she was high and got pregnant once.
>spoiling the stories
Unimaginable cruelty.
>two women can share the same bed without anyone thinking they're lesbians
>two men cannot share the same bed without anyone thinking they're gay
Really makes you think. And Jaime was very smart for using this already in the first page of this saga.
and Maggie was always bi. there is a conversation between Terry and Hopey once where Terry asked Hopey if she didnt feel betrayed that Maggie lusts after guys. Hopey answer was that Maggie can be whatever she wasn't to be and can lusts after whoever she wants to.
spoiler alert: Terry made Hopey lesbian, then Hopey made Maggie lesbian.
