I'm sure most to all of you are in some way familiar with Chris Sims, author of the Invincible Super-Blog, Woman of A.C.T.I.O.N. comics and other smart and funny things on Comics Alliance and elsewhere. Anyway, I was at work late last night, stressing over some edits, when the IM window below pops onto my screen. Chris's 27th birthday is tomorrow, you can all start ordering the strippers now.
Chris:
Evie I had the best idea.
The BEST.
Evie:
oh yes?
Chris:
You know those shirts?
Evie:

Chris:
The ones that are based on the Beatles one?
The one that goes:
John &
Paul &
George &
Ringo
Evie:

Chris:
OKAY.
I want one that says:
Like This &
Like That &

Sarah Palin rounds down when she tips
While Barack Obama is Your New Bicycle,
Sarah Palin washed your whites with her red parka
Sarah Palin tried to get on the elevator before you got off
Sarah Palin left the copy machine on 'staple'
Sarah Palin answered your Craig's List ad and then didn't show up
Sarah Palin said she didn't care where you got take out, then bitched about not being in the mood for Indian
Sarah Palin tried to recall that email she accidentally sent you
Sarah Palin likes Rod Stewart's version of "People Get Ready" the best
Sarah Palin regifted your handcarved salad bowl
Sarah Palin claps on the one and the three
...
Update: I just want to add that several hours after writing it (and after a Mets/Phillies game filled with heinous meatheads), I think this post is a little obnoxious, in that it's a cheap way to dis on the governor without thoughtfully calling her out on anything meaningful. So let's just say that my real problems with her are the same as everyone else's (unless you don't have any problems with her, in which case you and I can stick to talking about fictional funny books and everything will be just fine).

Weekly Crisis guest appearance
I have a guest post today at Kirk Warren's wonderful Weekly Crisis, answering his question about why I buy certain comics. It's certainly does not encompass all of my answers to the question, but it focuses on one reason I've been thinking a lot about. I suspect some people might fight me on it in some way or another, especially the Spider-Man part, but that's ok. Anyway, please to enjoy.

Forget that song that goes, 'How bizarre how bizarre'?
Caleb at Every Day is Like Wednesday* recently posted panels from a 1975 JLA comic in which Dr. Light (the boy) attacks Batman while announcing "Remember that old song that goes, 'Keep your love-light shining'? Well this ray is a variation on that theme, I call it the Hate-Light!"
Caleb's point was to view the sequence in the retroactive light (ha, um, ha?) of Brad Meltzer's 2004 Identity Crisis storyline. But since I tend to have a forest-for-trees problem, my take-away is that more supervillains should contextualize their aggressions with song lyrics.
Some suggestions:
Joker: "Remember that song by that cute British girl that goes, 'When I see you cry, it makes me smile'? Well that's how I feel, except it's when I see you die! A ha ha!"
Dr. Doom: "Remember that song that goes, 'Stay on the scene, like a sex machine'? Well Doom is on the scene, like a death machine. Death to Reed Richards, is naturally what Doom means."
Lex Luthor: "Remember that song that goes, 'She's a super freak, a super freak'? Well that's what you are and what you always will be, Superman. A Superfreak. And I won't let an alien freak stop me from world domination."
Magneto: "Remember that song that goes, 'We come together cuz opposites attract'? Well if you take two steps forward, I will M.C. Skat-ter you to the wind with my powers of magnetism."
Galactus: "Remember that song that goes, 'One look at you and I can't disguise, I've got hungry eyes'? Well, I am the devourer of worlds."
Mr. Freeze: "Remember that song that goes, 'You're as cold as ice'? Well, EXACTLY."
Green Goblin: "Remember that song that goes, 'It's not easy being green'? Well, it's going to be a lot easier when I SQUASH you, Spider-Man!"
Christ I could go on all day. Feel free to submit your own.
*My favorite blog title, by the way, because it mashes up the only two things that I am a fangirl enough for to be embarrassed about.

Memememe
Madeley over at the Fractal Hall Journal tagged me for a meme, and who in the hell am I to say "Ow! You hit too hard! I did so stay frozen! You're such a cheater." Anyway, here's the question:
What creators who are usually associated with a certain company (or, indeed, medium) would you like to see writing someone else’s title? For example, would you want to see JMS on Hellboy? Which DC character should Bendis have a crack at? Should George Pelecanos write Batman? (Answer: Yes)
Ok, I've only been reading comics for a few years, so I'm not the totally most qualified to find the perfect crossover or quirky nonsensical match-up. But here's what I got:
Gail Simone writing Guy Gardener. She did such a bang-up job with Deadpool a few years ago, and Guy's such a hilarious douchebag, that... oh, hell. She already writes for DC. Ok, Gail Simone on Deadpool. Oh, right. Ok, uh... Gail Simone on X-Men! Yes! Pull them out of their navel-gazing, down-bringing, death-wielding confusotron and make them funny and noble and have Emma Frost stop mid-sentence and say "wait, what the crap am I wearing? Someone throw me a sweater."
Brian Michael Bendis on Fables. Because what's missing from that book is frequent panels of Snow White, Cinderella, the Wolf, the Frog Prince, Boy Blue, Rose Red and the miniature mice-riding agents in bobby uniforms squinting and saying "the hell??" when they don't understand something.
That's a joke. Willingham, carry on.
Greg Rucka on Nova. I love Nova. I love Greg Rucka. Nova is all cosmic and science fictiony and techy and spacey, but really well developed and character-driven. Rucka's stuff is all gritty and earthy and dark alley-y and soaked in intrigue, but really well developed and character-driven.
Ok, that's what I got. I'm the new kid who holds my tray and looks awkwardly around the cafeteria pretending I'm looking for someone, but I'll go out on a limb and tag Girl Friday K, Caleb and Sally.
See you this weekend, maybe!
