    I've just learned that almost 20 years after image comics was founded Liefeld still as no concept of proportions, dimensions, or even how to draw a gun despite the fact that he has all his characters holding one because he really really can't draw a hand. But if I ever need a pouch I know where to go.


    Also, apparently Bishop has shrunk, removed the M from his face and is wearing button up shirts. Wait. That's not supposed to be Barack is it?

    @Garrison Dean: R.O.A.C.H.: I understand it's a comic and all, but how can that depiction of a human have a twenty-pack that extends up to his neck?

    I know it's become the common wisdom that Terminator Salvation and Watchmen failed, but if you look at the Box Office numbers they look pretty successful and that doesn't even include future DVD and other revenue streams.


    Terminator Salvation had a $200m production budget but has grossed $323m worldwide so far:

    Watchmen had a $130m budget but has grossed $182m worldwide.

    These days I would call those good investments.

    @Michael Oder:


    That's gross ticket revenue. What percentage goes the studio get, and what goes to the movie theatres?

    Those TV commercials ain't free either and are not included in the "production budget". Don't forget about the internet viral marketers. "This the most awesome movie ever, you gotta see it"

    @Michael Oder: Generally, a movie has to gross 2 to 3 times its budget to make a profit. Neither of these are even close.

    That picture of the baby licking the pig's snout is just.... wrong.


    The adult whose birkenstock appears near the bottom right corner should be ashamed of him/her self for allowing that licking to happen.


    And, no, I'm not a prune. I just believe in a modicum of hygiene. Do you know where that pig snout has been?


    It amazes me how clueless some people are in regards to other animals. Here are two examples:


    Pet python kills Florida toddler (July 2nd, 2009)

    [www.abc.net.au]


    Pet jungle cat

    [page.olesiafx.com]


    I love the way the jungle cat looks at and licks the other (regular) cat. Also, the chaos left over by the jungle cat's chicken kill. Imagine when that couple has a baby and the jungle cat thinks the baby is just a weird-looking chicken...

    A quick Google Images search reveals that the rest of the Gotham City Sirens pic shows considerable junk in the trunk on Harley. I... I'm going to go sit down for a moment.

    I like this joke better. Over at Jalopnik the joke was that we were getting the Preview Button back. Not nice.

    Sounds like it would be good for a laugh, but I'm going with the April Fools theory as well.

    @Belabras Voted 5: Please let the second be an April Fool's Day joke. There's parody and satire, and then there's... uh... not even an attempt to really change the names and sell comics.
