Cornell's comics are great. He wangs you in the face with the big, wild ideas, but then has a humanity behind it that some of his peers (even the good 'uns) just don't. Even when his characters are talking dinosaurs with an aversion to vowels.
As I said elsewhere, this image is quite a comment on the failures of the Baby Boomer generation.
All you need is love? Give peace a chance? "Imagine there's no countries,It isn't hard to do, Nothing to kill or die for, And no religion too?" Sod all that, let's burn the world down in a ridiculous nu-crusade! Let's imprison people illegally! Let's dress them in fetching orange boiler suits!
By day, I'm a mild-mannered librarian in a pokey one horse town, but by night I customise/butcher/torture vintage guitars while knocking back too much black lager. Then blog about comics, movies, music, TV, and even occasionally books and librarianship. Yeah, I know: a broad remit.
Assorted mouthin' off from the 21st Century Schizoid Man once deemed "best damn Northern Irish comics blogger" by some kind, deluded, soul. It's news, opinions, reviews, and sometimes even interviews in a thick Ulster accent. And if I say something offensively glib, it's just our bible-black sense of humour. It's really nothing personal, just get over it and move on.
Getting in tune with the straight and narrow
Got any news, views, wacky links, praise, criticism, etc? Feel free to e-mail me. Unless you're some mentalist just writing out of the blue to insult me. That I can do without.
