I discovered Bird and Moon comics, and quite enjoyed it.

For example:

I found the statement M.I.A. made regarding being sued by the NFL very interesting.

First, because the NFL is being insanely stupid this. But secondly–and more importantly–because of this comment:

The frame you’re looking for has my middle finger in the foreground, and the larger picture where it zooms out is a row of 10-15 cheerleaders, young black females, that Madonna got from a local high school in Indianapolis, and they were all under 16. If you look at them, they’re all wearing cheerleader outfits, hips thrusted in the air, legs wide open, in this very sexually provocative position.

So, now, they’re scapegoating me into figuring out the goalposts on what is offensive in America. Like, is my finger offensive, or is the underage black girl with her legs wide open more offensive to the family audience? That’s basically what it comes down to.

You can click on the link to see the picture if you choose. But she’s right–why is it okay to have teenagers hyper-sexualized, but flipping someone the middle finger is horrifying?

And really, had no one in the NFL ever SEEN an M.I.A. video? (The second video is really quite disturbing, but that was her point.)

I also discovered Evil Diva comics.

This comic answers the question: What if you don’t want to be evil but were born that way? (After reading through the archives, I do believe her father is my favorite character.)

Mental illnesses as monsters

I really liked these depictions.

Apparently, Serbian research (and Romanian publishing) have a few problems they need to work out.

Authors spoof pub with Ron Jeremy and Michael Jackson references

They also throw in references to the “Journal of Modern Illogical Studies,” which to the best of our knowledge does not and never has existed (although perhaps it should), and to a researcher named, dubiously, “A.S. Hole.” And, we hasten to add, the noted Kazakh polymath B. Sagdiyev, otherwise known as Borat.

Oops!

And for no reason except that I love it, and it’s good to end on a positive note:

Joshua Nelson and the Klezmatics (I don’t even try to embed YouTube videos anymore. SOrry.)
