A panel from silver age Marvel’s The Avengers in which Captain America is shown leaping feet first into the backs of Giant Man’s knees. It also looks kind of like Captain America is thrusting his hips into Giant Man’s enlarged butt.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

“Persuade voters to what?”
Keep shadow boxing 🤡
You’ll tucker yourself out soon I’m sure.
^ what politics looks like with dog vision goggles on. Your breathless and flailing attempts to defend 1/2 of the political wing of the duopoly has gotten boring.
Putting that imagination to work, good job buddy. You’ll be nice and limber next time you’re asked to worship a candidate.
Bigotry, like genocide and corporate cronyism, is okay them as long as it’s blue.
Being, simply as a matter of fact, the one other viable option available ≠ putting everyone you could into winning office.
Go back to brunch, stupid.
Tragically true. It bums me out that so many of these democrats would rather punch left because they think they have maintain an illusion that their pick is perfect than acknowledging that their strategy simply hasn’t worked and we mist address systemic issues that corpo dems will never touch
I’m literally not. You’re just very stupid.
Why did Biden continue to fund and arm the genocide? Why did Biden beat his chest on the floor of the senate in service to Israel for decades. Why did Harris refuse to tale a stand against genocide whole campaigning?
Complete imbecile fealty.
I think you’re just saying shit at this point. Keep ✨believing✨ though, tinker bell— I’m sure we’ll get Blue Flavor corporate oligarchy and genocide again real soon!
Unlike Liz Cheney, who is overt MAGA.
FYI You’re MAGA if you support MAGA policies, even if you don’t wear the hat. I know it’s hard for you guys when things aren’t color coded.
I voted for her, but I’m also not a braindead “team blue” moron allowing my country to barrel into fascism because I’m incapable of anything short of complete imbecile fealty to whoever gets plated in front of me by the only other party.
Tinker bell ass “u have to believe” politics 🥴
Book cover: The Grammar of Fantasy by Gianni Rodari, illustrated by Matthew Forsythe, translated from Italian by Jack Zipes. Cover illustration is a colorful, textural depiction of a child in white cloak walking past a giant’s foot; snakes, fish, a rabbit, and dragons lurk nearby. Eerie but friendly at the same time.
Chapter header from The Grammar of Fantasy: 38. The Child Who Reads Comics Illustration of a child hidden behind a large comic book with simplified shapes, eyes, and a mouth for panels.
Excerpt from The Grammar of Fantasy: books, new inventions are often added to the basic sounds, and these, too, must be deciphered. The entire course of the story must be reconstructed in the imagination, combining the signals provided by the captions, dialogue, and onomatopoeia with those given by the drawings and color, so that the many loose threads of the plot can be mentally tied together into a single, continuous thread. And it is the reader who makes sense of everything: the personality of the characters, who are not described, but shown in action; the relationships between them, which result from the plot and its developments; even the action itself, which is revealed to the reader only through jumps and fragments. For a child of six or seven years, comic books seem to me sufficiently demanding work, rich with logical and imaginative operations, regardless of the value and content of the comic book, which is not at issue here. When reading a comic, the imagination of the child does not passively assist; rather, it is urged to take a position, to analyze and synthesize, to classify and decide. There is no room here for absentminded daydreams, not while the mind is engaged in such complex attention and the imagination is called upon to fulfill its most noble functions. To venture to say that up to a certain point, the child's principal interest in comic books is not determined by their content, but is tied directly to the form and substance of the comics themselves, as a means of expression. The child wants to master the technique of the comic strip. That's it. She reads comic books in 238
Continued excerpt from The Grammar of Fantasy. order to learn how to read comic books, to understand their rules and conventions. She enjoys the efforts of her own imagination, more than the adventures of the characters. She plays with her own mind, not with the story. It may well be high-handed to separate things so clearly in this way. But the effort of distinguishing between them is worth it if the distinction helps us not to underestimate the child, and the underlying seriousness and moral engagement that she brings to everything she does. Everything else about comics has already been said, for better or for worse, and I won't bother you by repeating it.
did not expect this chapter! I especially love:
“When reading a comic, the imagination of the child does not passively assist; rather, it is urged to take a position, to analyze and synthesize, to classify and decide.”
(and also the eternal nature of “comics ? for kids ????” discourse lmao)
Idk how is your candidate being a huge ass loser working out for you?
