Enough with all this high-brow stuff that makes you think, says I, because you should never have to think! Instead we’re going to keep it real simple this week folks:
Mockery and snide derision with a side of snark after the jump. It’s probably going to be petty and immature, too, so scram if you don’t want to put on your kindergarten Underoos and join in the fun.

The Onion AV Club has a great article up featuring their list of the most influential comics artists of all time. It’s a great introduction to guys you younger folk might not have heard of, but who nonetheless have influenced the comics and cartoons you love. Even old-timers like me can learn from it, too.
Plus, you gotta love a guy who can put together a paragraph like this:
He had legions of fans, even though he couldn’t actually draw; when he—along with Jim Lee, Todd McFarlane, and other controversial artists—helped form the creator-owned Image Comics in 1992, the world learned that he couldn’t write, either. Since then, it’s been revealed that he can’t do much of anything else. Still, there’s no denying that the guy owned the 1990s. It was a strange decade.
Three guesses who that’s about, and the last two don’t count. Anyway, check it out, it’s a great article. And if you think someone was left off the list who ought to be included (Frank Miller, John Buscema, etc.) let ‘er rip in the comments.

At the suggestion of some folks yesterday, I wanted to throw out a challenge and an invitation. We previously had a contest to see who could redesign the costume of golden-age character “The Black Terror”. I thought you might like a non-contest follow-up to that, so after the jump I’m going to discuss another favorite from that time, “The Green Lama”, and his outfit.

Yeah, it turns out I have no idea what “Friday Hero Dissection” means, which is what I am supposed to be doing today. So instead I am going to post this insanely cute picture of this kid who, let’s be honest, could be any one of us when we were younger, and by younger I mean “at any time in the last six months”:
One heck of a costume
