Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations #99

The Minstrel, Q-boy, & Muffina Winters On Beef

ccc-86-theminstrelqboymuffytemplate

Beef really has lead to some great music.  That’s pretty much undeniable. Battling and dissing is just part of rap.  Rap is more like a sport than other forms of music, and sometimes it’s a blood sport. People want to be good singers or great singers, and if someone wants to be the best singer it isn’t by actually proving you’re better by humiliating the competition.  Singers might not like each other and they might go at each other in a VERY subliminal way, but it’s nothing like a rap battle.

But you know what’s weird? John Lennon made a diss track. A guy all about peace and love made diss track, and he goes in on Paul McCartney.

Tomorrow is our 100th Conversation special! I’ll just say it’s going to be crazy and leave it at that… Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Fair warning, if you have no interest in or don’t like rap you’re not like this week.  Just check back in next week and more than likely we’ll be back to our regularly scheduled programing of thinly veiled allusions to  whatever “Marvel” or “DC” is doing (no promises though).

Still here? Cool. Have you ever met someone that you never would think was into rap? It’s always a fun surprise.

Oh and yeah this weeks 100th “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations” comic is pretty rap related. Tomorrow The Minstrel, and Q-boy return with Muffina Winters to talk about beef. Hers with Special-Girl specifically. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

(Work In Progress) The History Of Comics With Q-boy #61

The Vicious Cycle And The Gifts They Buy You

qbs61wip

Sorry folks the next “The History Of Comics With Q-boy” ( #THoCwQ 61) ain’t done yet. This is picture is some of what I got done so far. Like in the last “The History Of Comics With Q-boy” this comic is based on the work of Robert Crumb.  This is one of my most ambitious comics yet.  It is another double page spread. This first page is one large panel that is based on 6 different images.  I’m done all the actual drawing, but I still have a lot of coloring to do, and I have to do the lettering. Check out new “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations” Tuesday-Thursday with something special planned for Thursday’s 100th comic. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations #94 The Minstrel, Q-boy, & Spiderous-Man On Self-Esteem

Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations #94

The Minstrel, Q-boy, & Spiderous-Man On Self-Esteem

ccc-94-theminstrelqboyspiderousman

I don’t get “Marvel’s” obsession with making Spider-Man young. In the original comics Spider-Man is only in high school for a few issues then he’s in college. With “Ultimate Spider-Man” this version of Peter Parker starts the series being 15 years old.  Then the “Miles Morales” version of “Ultimate Spider-Man” is 13 years old.

I think making “Spider-Man” younger and younger miss the point of  “Spider-Man”. The point (and this is very much IMHO) of “Spider-Man” is the he is a loser. “Peter Parker” handmade all his equipment including his webbing and web shooters as a relatively young guy.  He could have easily sold any of this and made millions. He has the strength and agility to easily be a pro wrestler, MMA fighter, or win something like “AGT”.  Instead of doing any of this he works for a guy who is obsessed with trashing him and seems to be perpetually broke.

Currently in the comics “Spider-Man” has “Parker Industries”, but he only has this because “Dr. Octopus” controlled him as “The Superior Spider-Man” and used some of Peter’s unused potential. Guess it’s a “mo’ money mo’ problems” situation.

That’s it for this week. See ya next Tuesday-Thursday for more “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations”!

ccc-86-theminstrelqboymuffytemplate

Well it looks like Muffy and The Minstrel are getting along now… We’ll see how long that lasts.

So in the last episode of “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” “Buffy” gives this speech about being “cookie dough” as opposed to “cookies”.  Mostly this comic is making fun of that. There’s a good joke about “eating her” but mostly the speech seems oddly pre-prepared for the situation.

Tomorrow The Minstrel, Q-boy, & Spiderous-Man talk once again talk about self-esteem and maybe a movie coming out get mentioned. Hope you enjoy, and see ya then!

The History Of Comics With Q-boy #60 An Outlaw’s Prayer For Vengence (Censored)

Posted in censoredshort, qboyshort by

The History Of Comics With Q-boy #60 An Outlaw’s Prayer For Vengence (Censored)

qbs60c

This comic is based on the work of Robert Crumb and Bobby Cakes is based on him. Robert Crumb is certainly a controversial figure, but he is undeniably a great artist.  He gained his fame mainly during the late 60’s and 70’s in the underground comics scene. The documentary about him from 1994 “Crumb” is really worth seeing if you haven’t.

The whole idea of having Q-boy Comics in this story have “7 great artists” and the whole Q-boy Comics being like “Deathrow” started with the idea of having Robert Crumb be like 2pac.  It was such a weird idea that I went with it.  Now let’s explain the panels:

  • Panel 1 is based on a panel from Crumb’s comic “My Troubles With Women” and the part in the thought bubble is based on a panel from another of his comics “The Adventures Of R. Crumb Himself” which you can check out here http://qr.net/bYtpa & here http://qr.net/bYtp2
  • Panel 2 is based on another panel from “My Troubles With Women” and a panel from another comic he did “Motor City” #2 which you can see here http://qr.net/bYtrY & here http://qr.net/bYttc
  • Panel 3 is based on a panel from a story Crumb did for “El Perfecto Comics”. The stuff in the thought balloon is based on a panel from his project from 2009 “The Book Of Genesis Illustrated” and one of the things he’s most famous for “Keep On Truckin’” a one page comic from “Zap Comix” #1 which you can check out here http://qr.net/bYtvg , here http://qr.net/bYtys , and here http://qr.net/bYtAb
  • Panel 4 is based on an unpublished cover for “Hulp Comics” (that I couldn’t do justice to the crosshatching in) which you can check out here http://qr.net/bYtEu
  • Panel 5 is based on a drawing of “Lightin’ Hopkins” from “R. Crumb’s Heroes Of Blues, Jazz, & Country” which you check out here http://qr.net/bYtCk
  • Panel 6 is based on a drawing of Crumb himself and David Zane Mairowitz from “R. Crumb’s Kafka” which you can check out here http://qr.net/bYtGf

Next time we continue with Bobby Cakes as he works with Q-boy Comics. Check out new “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations” on Tuesday-Thursday. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!

Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations #91 The Minstrel, Q-boy, & Slowku On Slowku Avoiding Popularity

Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations #91

The Minstrel, Q-boy, & Slowku On Slowku Avoiding Popularity

ccc-91-theminstrelqboyslowku

In most American comics if a superhero saves a city they become so famous they have to have a secret identity so everyone they love isn’t targeted by villains (of course their identity is always found out and all their loved ones are targeted anyways).

“Goku” saved the world if not the universe quite a few times and only a handful of people know who he is or what he did. Pretty much every time something happens or the situation makes it so people can’t see him do it.

It would be interesting to see a “what if” where people knew “Goku” saved the world. I’d imagine he’d be very uncomfortable. I’ve gotten into this before but “Goku” spends A LOT of time alone or with few people. His house is basically a shack in the woods. Also any perks of fame would be lost on “Goku”. The guy basically wears one outfit, and seems pretty happy to eat whatever he can hunt and kill. Some of these things change a bit in “Dragonball Super” but that’s clearly “Chi Chi’s” doing not his.  In real life “Goku” has a holiday and is the one of the most famous heroes in all entertainment across the globe and he’d probably hate that…

That’s it for this week. Next week we start off with a new “The History Of Comics With Q-boy” where we meet “The Outlaw”. Then new “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations” on Tuesday-Thursday. Hope you enjoy and see ya then!
