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!

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

The Vicious Cycle And The Gifts They Buy You

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 #97 The Minstrel, Pussy Whip, & The Good Knight On Foreplay

Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations #97

The Minstrel, Pussy Whip, & The Good Knight On Foreplay

ccc-95-theminstrelpussywhipandthegoodknight

So this stuff with The Good Knight and Pussy Whip I’ve been hinting at since “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations” #3 ( http://qr.net/bZSPa ) when this comic launched in February on the week of Valentine’s Day.  Also I often see these pictures with “Catwoman” or “Black Cat” actually acting like a cat and always find it weird.  It just seem like a guy would be weirded out and not turn on by it.

So next week we’ll be reaching the 100th of these comics. I got an idea for what I want to do, but I’m not completely sure yet. That’s it for this week.  I’m still working on the next “The History Of Comics With Q-boy” and I really don’t know if it will be done by Monday. I’ll absolutely try to at least show some part of what I have done so far though. As always next Tuesday-Thursday be here for more “Criminal And Crimefighter Conversations”. 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”!
