You may have heard on Twitter today that Archie Andrews is going to die. Did you read the actual article? Because the media, even the comic media, seem to be willing to obscure the fact that he isn’t dieing in the main titles, but in the spin-off Life With Archie title.
Are they flying or dancing?
The Descendants #1
Descendants Productions (1995?)
Some of you remember this comic being brought up in the 2013 Brass City Comic Convention video I (finally) posted last week. The copyright on the comic is 1995 but if that’s the case that’s a long time to get to issue #3

Over at The Clutter Reports I often discuss how useful simple cardboard can be for organizing clutter. It’s also good for art, although the most I’ve done with it is creating wrestling belts and I dropped that in favor of combining poster board, left over comic backing boards, and decorative tape. Kotaku found a guy who went well beyond that by creating his own cardboard artwork. He’s made everything from dragons to Movieverse Optimus Prime to HIS OWN IRON MAN SUIT! Not sure if he can wear it, but that’s some dedication for how good it came out.
“Are you trying to seduce me, Whirlwind?”

In rap and hip hop songs the trend, which you can imagine annoys me to no end, is that as soon as the singer arrives every woman is with him, although some have to be talked into it. Actually, that’s not the part that bugs me; that would be when the woman already has a boyfriend or husband. (Actually, it’s worse when the “pick up lines” are so misogynistic that’s it about how going to bed with him will be the greatest experience of her life…except when you actually examine the lyrics and it’s more about how awesome pleasing him with no real talk about her satisfaction.) As we’ve discussed in previous installments I take issue with adultery songs but in this case it’s more an ego thing. “I’m better than your man, you know it, so let’s hook up”. In many cases the singer’s character just wants a one night stand and will gladly ruin a relationship to get it, in the video if not the song itself.
Positive K’s “I Got A Man”, from 1992, goes against type as K’s character meets a woman who has a man, and he can’t smooth talk (or what passes for smooth talk in these songs) his way into her pants. See if you can guess who is doing the female voice before the song ends.
