Don Draper talks The Batman
geoffreyisworking:
I reworked some Don Draper quotes to include The Batman because it just struck me that Don Draper probably wouldn’t really like Batman, but he’d respect him or maybe he’d just try to use him as advertising material:
The reason you haven’t seen him is because he doesn’t exist. What you call The Batman was invented by guys like me, to sell guns. You’re born alone and you die...

raptoravatar asked: Thank you for laying out so much of this vital shit about the notion of nerd culture. I guess that, although I have a pretty intensive analytical stance about things, the point has always been innately positive. You listen to 100+ new records a year, read comics, stay up on shows/movies etc. cause you love the artform. People with no critical faculties often think it's elitism when,...
explosionswoo asked: I still get a little squeamish when people criticize nerd culture. While there may be elitism, rudeness and self-indulgence, I don't think these qualities are fostered by nerd culture itself. The problem, I think, comes from equating internet culture and nerd culture. In my opinion, internet culture--which has definitely spilled out into real world forums--is about the individual (MY opinion,...

– Grant Morrison on the dark side of “geek culture” in his new book Supergods. In another section of the book, he explains that he and Frank Quitely deliberately depicted the nerdy antagonists of their “Riot at Xavier’s” storyline in New X-Men – probably my single favorite X-Men story – as fascist...

Hello!
geoffreyisworking:
My name is Geoffrey.
I live in Queens, NY where I work a meaningless day job while I try to find another, better-paying, but ultimately meaningless day job. It’s alright, I guess. There are worse ways to live.
But when I’m not doing that, I’m usually doing some writing. You can find some of it out in the internet!
I write a webcomic with my buddy Dav over at...

geoffreyisworking:
I wrote something about Arnold Drake’s Doom Patrol at this blog that I update with Tessa sometimes.
If you like it, but you hate leaving tumblr, you can find the tumblr feed here.
So for the past few months, Geoff and I have been working on this (up ‘til now) secret comics blog! Sometimes we write reviews together! Sometimes we write them separately! I am still...
