Comment on Stranger in an Un-Strange World: An interview with Brad Neely by Pete Q

Fri, 03 Sep 2010 18:42:06 +0000

Brads stuff is just awesome. It makes me think and laugh. The kind of thing that art is really suppose to do. It can help the audience understand the world a little better than when they started. It was a good interview and it was interesting to get an insight on how Brad thinks and works. It was also good to get another perspective on his work. I thought BC was retarded also, so don’t feel bad.. I don’t think Brad really wants us to have a high regard for any of his caricature’s personally. They are usually so self absorbed the rest of the world doesn’t really matter to them at all. I like Brads stills a lot but not as much as his other stuff. When he mixes his comic strips and his music ( each that would fail on there own ) some kind of crazy magic comes out of it. It radiates genus in every direction. From matching a mood to the relevance of whats going on in the story. In a blunt world thats so unique and disturbing it defies proper description for me. I pray Mr Neely may soon find a proper venue for his work. One that will properly reward him financially WITHOUT making him jump threw any hoops to make him PC or “appeal to a larger demographic”.

Thank you for realizing Mr. Neely is well worth interviewing and exposing to a larger audience !!

I see Copenhagen has a Sexological Clinic. Are they, per chance, hiring in the Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology Department anytime soon?

Hej Simon,
Godt at høre fra dig!

Jeg savnede ikke et showdown, bare et eller andet, der beskrev den vanskelig udvikling, Khalid må have gennemgået fra vi forlader ham til vi ser ham på sidste side. Selvom jeg forstår motivationen som du forklarer den, synes jeg lidt det er et copout. Men ellers fint arbejde, som sagt!

Hej, Matthias. Tak for omtalen.

Grunden til at udgivelsen er blevet delt op kunne jeg godt forklare, men jeg tror at Alpha Entertainment helst selv vil sige noget om det. Jeg er selvfølgelig meget taknemmelig for at den nu findes på tryk.

Jeg synes også selv, det havde været rart med et skulderklap i form af nominering og den opmærksomhed der ville følge med. Nå, pyt.

Det skal siges, at jeg ikke selv ser en manglende evne til at få styr på trådene i historien. Hvis jeg lige må argumentere…/SPOILER WARNING/

Hovedpersonen Khalid gennemgår en modningsprocess og så alligevel ikke. Han opnår overfladisk sucess på sin skole i kraft af hans tegninger, hvilket giver ham en bedre selvfølelse. Dette bevirker at hans usikkerhed (objektgjort som det talende lysglimt) langtsomt forsvinder. Men hans evt. chancer hos Wynona spoleres af hans eget nu oppustede ego.
På de to sidste sider vises det, hvordan han fortrænger oplevelser fra sin barndom og ikke selv ser, hvordan konflikten med onklen har påvirket ham til at lave superhelteserier. Hans tidlige fanzines er, som man ser, ubevidste forlængelser af hans egne dominansfantasier.
Det kommer ikke til et fysisk opgør med hans onkel, delvis fordi jeg ikke ville antyde at sådan noget ofte sker, men også fordi at det er en konflikt der ikke bare går væk efter et evt. showdown.
I den sammenhæng skal det siges, at selvom ‘truslen’ fra hans onkel nok aldrig er gået helt væk, har det ikke fået Khalid til at stoppe med at udtrykke sig igennem tegninger. Tværtimod. På den måde ender historien nærmest lidt bittersødt, idet han ikke har reflekteret over sin barndom og deraf inspiration, men han er dog heller ikke blevet ‘kuet’ af den.

Man kan så sige, at slutningen skulle have været fortalt over flere sider for at gøre det ovenstående mere tydeligt. Det vil jeg godt tage på mig.

Nå, men bind 1 kan købes for 30 kr herigennem: comipa.dk@gmail.com

Første halvdel? Hvorfor har de besluttet sig for at dele den op?

Jeg skal lige gøre opmærksom på at Anikonisme (første halvdel) er ude på tryk fra Alpha Entertainment …

Comment on Hype: Scott Pilgrim Kører stilen! by Mary Louis

I’m not completely into video games and I without a doubt loved this movie. The style and feel and the sharpness of this movie just made everything for me. It also helped with the mind blowing visual eye candy going for it. Though? I’m not into gaming culture, it was still so much fun to watch and I got into it and loved every minute of it. I would absolutely recommend Scott Pilgrim.

Comment on Roskilde 2010: A Look Back by Matthias Wivel

Sure, they just seem to me groups that were much more interesting and had a bigger draw ten years ago, and they had both been touring recently, making their presence at Roskilde prime time less understandable, especially if the festival wants to attract an international audience.

The third big Danish name, Nephew, was a timely choice and did seem like an unqualified success. That I happen to hate their music shouldn’t detract from that, although they’re bordering on the kind of pop music that the festival doesn’t normally cover.

As for Gorillaz, I’ve also heard different things; nobody I spoke to was unreservedly enthusiastic, but a few of the reviews were surprisingly positive, so maybe I’m totally wrong there.

I completely agree with the overall sentiment here. Just one minor quibble: It may be a bit much to call Dizzy Mizz Lizzy and Kashmir “a substantial amount of … veteran Danish acts without much current relevance” - especially since Kashmir are still releasing albums to substantial sales and at least some critical acclaim.

The Gorillaz-concert seems to have been quite the divisive experience: I’ve heard a lot of both good and bad things about it and regret not having been able to check it out for myself …

Comment on Who Is Harvey Pekar? by Matthias Wivel

Sun, 25 Jul 2010 19:50:35 +0000

Thanks for your comments! Considering his importance, it’s quite striking how under the radar Pekar had become in recent years. It’s a little like the Hernandez Brothers–he had been around for so long that most people took him for granted and stopped paying attention, despite the fact that he was still producing at a steady pace.

I know I did–I haven’t read much by him since Our Cancer Year, and I’ve heard that not all of it is up to snuff, but I think I shall go look closer for myself now.
