26 Aug 01 - 07:44 PM (#535768) Subject: RE: BS: Anyone else here read redmeat.com? From: Little Hawk Well, I've read it now... It's the sort of crap that rises out of the gut of a civilization that deep down hates itself, and is choking on its lack of basic worth. No wonder Dylan wrote "Desolation Row" and sang it with such a tone of weary alienation in his voice. Mind you, I did find the Aquaman one kind of funny. :-) But that's enough for me. - LH |

But somehow, only the funny ones, 'cause the website has plenty that aren't. He does have a touch, though... of what, I'm not sure, but when he's on, he's on. How does he make those unchanging inane faces so meaningful? Dani |

26 Aug 01 - 09:13 PM (#535821) Subject: RE: BS: Anyone else here read redmeat.com? From: Little Hawk Using a picture that is virtually identical, if not completely identical, for 3 different frames certainly saves a lot of time and work. This guy has obviously hit on a handy cartoonist's technique here that might be more popular were it not a tad boring. If everyone did it, it would be VERY boring. As it is, it's sort of a curiosity piece, being just confined to Red Meat. The guy with the pipe looks a lot like my father, 15 years ago or so, except my father lacks the pipe. Bleagh! - LH |

27 Aug 01 - 08:24 AM (#536016) Subject: RE: BS: Anyone else here read redmeat.com? From: GUEST,wheresmycookieguinnesschik I love Bug-Eyed Earl. His intensity reminds me of Himself. I think Milkman Dan is my favorite, however. Very twisted. |

I guess I was just too busy watching the bizarre machinations of actual humans to notice this. Consider that oversight rectified. Ted Johnson is the spititual descendant of one of my all time anti-heroes...R. Crumb's "Whiteman". Don't ya just love visiting someone's domicile for the first time and seeing YOUR favourite weirdness dotting their book shelves? Isn't it a sinking feeling when you visit someone's domicile for the first time and see about a dozen videotapes in a row, labeled "Cosby"? (that happened to me when I was still single) Rick (awfully nice, but terribly sick) |

27 Aug 01 - 01:51 PM (#536159) Subject: RE: BS: Anyone else here read redmeat.com? From: Little Hawk I didn't like Crumb much...mostly because I really hated the way he drew (and related to) women, generally speaking, but I did like the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers. Those idiots I found quite amusing. They reminded me of various friends and acquaintances in the early 70's. Then there was Harold Hedd. Started out great, but got kind of gross after a while. His cat was a classic character, as was Fat Freddy's Cat in the Freak Brothers. - LH |

27 Aug 01 - 07:26 PM (#536407) Subject: RE: BS: Anyone else here read redmeat.com? From: GUEST,cretinous yahoo compared to the Far Side, redmeat is about as funny as Mothers Day in an orphanage. |

27 Aug 01 - 10:25 PM (#536511) Subject: RE: BS: Anyone else here read redmeat.com? From: Clinton Hammond That's your opinion Guest... and yer welcome to it... But like I said earlier... the BUG-EYES have it so far! 8-| Far Side, to me, is about as over done and dull as Monty Python... sure, in it's day it was great... but that day has come and gone... And has anyone else noticed how much Ted resembles Bob? As in The Church Of The Subgenious, Bob? |

28 Aug 01 - 09:17 AM (#536682) Subject: RE: BS: Anyone else here read redmeat.com? From: guinnesschik Oooh, I have! Himself and I have random Bob sightings these days, as the Chruch of the Subgenious is not what it used to be. Praise Bob, and may you have Slack. |

28 Aug 01 - 11:55 AM (#536762) Subject: RE: BS: Anyone else here read redmeat.com? From: Clinton Hammond And Slack also with you, Gchick! :-) |

28 Aug 01 - 01:24 PM (#536809) Subject: RE: BS: Anyone else here read redmeat.com? From: Clinton Hammond *pokes LH in the nose fer bing a goof!* LOL!! Bob Dylan should look so good... ;-) |

28 Aug 01 - 01:36 PM (#536814) Subject: RE: BS: Anyone else here read redmeat.com? From: Little Hawk Well, I admit that Bob is a pretty strange sight these days, but I still prefer him to that sicko Ted. :-) - LH |

28 Aug 01 - 04:04 PM (#536905) Subject: RE: BS: Anyone else here read redmeat.com? From: Clinton Hammond Come to think of it, Bob Dylan looks more like Bug Eyed Earl these days!! LOL!!!! |

28 Aug 01 - 07:13 PM (#537077) Subject: RE: BS: Anyone else here read redmeat.com? From: Little Hawk Well, it's no more than a vague resemblance, fortunately...fortunately for Bob, I mean... :-) - LH |

29 Aug 01 - 09:14 AM (#537394) Subject: RE: BS: Anyone else here read redmeat.com? From: guinnesschik Don't let Max Cannon hear ya' say that about Bug Eyed Earl. He may suddenly start spouting "Dylan-isms." "wrinkled knee on the leotard of lethargy" sounds almost Dylanesque anyhow. ;-)
