As a corollary to what I was talking about last time, I love objectionable, surreal, and non-improving works of art. White Ninja comics from back in the day are a great example, along with my abiding love of Charles Bukowski; not ashamed of reading and loving the dead and buried webcomic Hate Song, my approval of the monsters that created and the actual crime that is Wonder Showzen, so forth. Being away from the computer for a few days has gifted me for free with the single-panel wizardry of Sucko and Fucko. Absolutely hilarious. Don't know what I did to deserve this but I'm going to put a check in the "doing something correctly" column. Not sure know how long this creator can keep this up but it is not a waste of time.

Figure you'll know whether you want to explore it just from the name. I find it positively delightful, and the eight-to-thirteen-year-old that still lives in my head is howling with pure and total joy. Dildo jokes, pumpkinfucking, absolute nonsense, subtle and outrageously not subtle satirical edges. The only thing funnier to me than a naked man screaming at another man to look at his bared, stiff cock is dogfucking.

Dogfucking is the funniest thing in the world to me.

Yeah, yeah, judge it up. I'll stay laffin'.

Being away from the computer is an excellent thing. As I have stated, and it cannot be restated enough times, I detest computers, the internet, and everything that computers and the internet mean for society and the human animal; these are bad things, bad, unequivocally bad like virulent plagues and television commercials. However, I love comics, the unfettered dissemination of even the most completely lunatic and vile ideas (including, of course, my own), and raw data even more. Praise internet!

Also, I love you, dear reader. You. And here you are, on the internet! Wholly classin' the place up. Look at you! Keep on rockin'.

If you're not interested in the garbage I've been praising and promoting, perhaps one of these remarkable offerings will be more your speed, far from the gutter where I happily roister and feed. Haven't read each one but what I have sampled is exquisite, and all the art is stunning. I mean just look at it.

Took a break from J.M. Roberts' A History of Europe (fricking magnificent, makes me want to secure at least ten more history books and has already made me buy three) to read Fire and Blood, by G.R.R. Martin. So fucking good. I've read the Song of Ice and Fire books seven times, the stories in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms perhaps two to five times depending on the tale, and A World of Ice and Fire three times because I am not a well man.

As evidence, I present that I already want to read Fire and Blood a second time. Like, right now. I read it just this weekend. 

Staring it at it hungrily, right now, even as I type, seriously considering it.

Dildo jokes, pumpkinfucking, and fantasy history. Man, life is hilarious!
