Guys with incredibly small novels are usually Charles Bukowski

Or Michael Moorcock.
ford » neu 1 years ago
The works of Michael Moorcock have always seemed somewhat interesting, but i am honestly afraid to track any down for pear of having to tell people what i am reading.
ford » neu 1 years ago
"for pear?" those two keys are nowhere close to each other. what the hell, brain?
vweep » pro 1 years ago
Chubbied for "what the hell, brain?".
tekende » neu 1 years ago
Because of his name?
aargh » neu 1 years ago
What's wrong with Micheal Moorcock? I've always found his works witty and insightfu- oh, hang on. Yeah, I just read the first chapter of the dancers at the end of time...


Yeah.
zem » neu 1 years ago
I guess this is a burn on dancers at the end of time? if i was dancers at the end of time i'd be feeling pretty hurt right now.
spicyponyhead » neu 1 years ago
Have you heard any of the Moorcock/Hawkwind music stuff? WIZARDFAIL.

chris onstad is not unlike beef in the way that he typically deprecates himself when he appears in his own comics.

even more ironic when beef himself is the deprecating one. self-loathing written via a self-loather.
sarabria » neu 2 years ago
love it when beef gets sassy.

Harry Potter feels the whispering pillar of light should know more about the physics of electricity. It is the basis of all magic.

Octarine?
presterjohn » pro 2 years ago
Oook.
fuckyoufriday » neu 2 years ago
My friend told me about how, at his all-boy Catholic high school, someone had written "Cock and Pussy" in all of the bathrooms. That's not the funny part. Someone else went around shortly afterwards and changed them all to "Oook and Russy". That's not that funny either, but it is relevant to your "Oook" post.
woodenteeth » neu 1 years ago
Oook and Russy is pretty funny. You can imagine the guy trying to get all witty, having that moment of failure, then pulling out Oook and Russy and writing a story as if they're a wacky cat and mouse team. The story is about the Cat constantly eating the Mouse. Over and over. All-Boys schools are no good for your imagination OR your relationship to Freud.
belgand » neu 1 years ago
That doesn't solve for pussy. Please come see me at the end of the Internet.
woodenteeth » neu 1 years ago
The solution for pussy is at the end of the Internet??!! Ohhhh maaaaan. I was hoping to have it done before then.
belgand » neu 1 years ago
I have noticed that you continued to turn in your maths assignments with a rather liberal policy towards the due dates and a consistent failure to show your work.

I'd like to think you could straighten-up and get serious about your studies and with that in mind I will be requiring you to assist Master 4Chan in cleaning up quite a lot of rubbish that has managed to accumulate in /b/. Please report to the prefect after supper. Hopefully this shall be the last such time a disciplinary note is needed. You are dismissed.
woodenteeth » neu 1 years ago
I need another disciplinary note. Another.
belgand » neu 1 years ago
I don't think you quite understand the disciplinary note system. It goes into your permanent record. It is not given to you personally. I cannot fathom why you would request another unless you think your back-talk is cute young man. I assure you that nobody here is amused by your antics.
woodenteeth » neu 1 years ago
There ain't nuthin cute about my "back-talk" principal... a-herr herr herr.
belgand » neu 1 years ago
I believe the phrase you're looking for is "headmaster".

And I'll have no more of these doubled-entendres you children seem so fond of (how amusing, you're also slightly older than me).

I recall when my AP English 2 teacher tried to explain double entendres while we were reading Hamlet. It was... interesting. Actually, no, that's not it, what's the word for when your middle-aged teacher tries to explain that someone just made an almost exactly 400 year old sexual pun?
woodenteeth » neu 1 years ago
Awkward.

Hilarious.

Creepy.

Headmaster! Spinynorman is getting his Mexican Magical Realism on me again! Make him stop!
belgand » neu 1 years ago
Magical Realism is basically terrible. Regardless of whether it is Mexican or not. Did you not read Beloved? Was worst book. Oh boo hoo, is terrible to be slave. I will be complete psycho in response and then complain about it for another 300 pages. Is not book white male can easily appreciate. Is also just plain regular terrible.

Are...Are you a brain in a jar?

From your perspective is there any way to tell? Does it matter either way?

So you're going to write off an entire genre because of one book?
belgand » neu 1 years ago
No. Just anything by Toni Morrison. I also no longer trust the Pulitzer Prize.

Writing off anything that even tangentially has something to do with Oprah is just common sense.
tekende » neu 1 years ago
Whatever. Go read some Haruki Murakami.
belgand » neu 1 years ago
I'm not a fan of magical realism in general though because... well, I don't want magical in my realism. I want the real world to be real and the magical world to be magical and no crossovers.

Maybe you can stretch reality a bit (Italo Calvino's The Baron in the Trees comes to mind), but that's the limit.
tatterdemalion » neu 11 months ago
While I share and heartily embrace your verdict on Oprah-related-fiction, I do have to agree with tekende that dissing or otherwise dismissing the entire genre of Magical Realism is somewhat not-so-awesome. Smearing magic or the unexplained into 'reality' is a valid way to explore certain themes and has produced some seriously awesome fiction, not to mention theatre.

As comfortable as this way of thinking may be for you, it has in recent years been rendered nonsense. You don't have to enjoy Middlesex and The Road because they're Oprah's Book Club selections, but if you write them off simply for being associated with her - even "tangentially" (Talk Like a Dick School alumnus, I see) - you're really cheating yourself out on some great work.
rowboat » pro 4 months ago
Oh, look who I'm taking to. I'm sure you already hate both of those books. Never mind.
soticoto » neu 2 years ago
Harry Potter is such a faker; he so can't see Octarine and as such is no wizard. Even the ones that can't even spell wizard (much less cast any spells) can see Octarine.

i wanna go to talk like a dick school.

zefiel » neu 2 years ago
I am there, it's Mexico's main university. We're such dicks, The university detached itself from the country
sexualhomeboy » neu 2 years ago
I always wondered why they put "Autonomous" in the name of that school.
spinynorman » neu 2 years ago
You sure that wasn't because it was Hecho in Mexico and full of Magical Realism?

Grew legs and just walked on off into the ocean?
yomimono » neu 1 years ago
The pinnacle of dickitude would be if the country, fed up with continuous sass, detached itself from the university.
presterjohn » pro 1 years ago
I think they call it "Yale"
blastradius » pro 2 years ago
the real question is, why is onstad giving harry potter fanfic assignments to his stuffed animals? and why are they accepting? some cheap fanfic labour for some new site riddled with google ads? this being onstad's newest get-rich-quick scheme?
norrin » neu 2 years ago
If Onstad is into getting rich quick, internet comics was a bad choice.
semiquaver » neu 2 years ago
You milk what you know, methinks.

Blastradius' comment has been sitting here in plain sight being just as ugly and wrong as can be for over two years and I just gave it its first lame. Wake up, people.
mangtastic » neu 4 months ago
NO ROWBOAT.

NO.

I WILL NOT WAKE UP FROM THIS WONDERFUL FANTASY DREAM WHERE BLASTRADIUS DID NOT MAKE AN OVERSIGHT ON AN INTERNET COMMENT! I WILL NOT!

p.s. How's this for bad icon/ asset symmetry? (Kermit does not talk in all caps. )

Synergy, not symmetry. It is 2:30 AM on a Saturday, people.

They say that guys with incredibly small novels do not have much to write about and consequently are pretty uninteresting people to be around. Not like Stephen King.

Reading through the archives, this is another instance where I see a link between beef and bukowski. Neat.

I love the fact that Achewood regularly features one sided phone conversations, but you always can gather the full conversation from it.

"You can pretend all you want but I did just say that"

GOLD
direhaggis » pro 1 years ago
Did Onstad somehow pass along this interest in Harry Potter fan fiction to Lyle, Philippe, and now Roast Beef as some sort of exercise in perverse amusement?
belgand » neu 1 years ago
The great thing about "germane" is that it always is.
nyl » pro 1 years ago
I've only read one Harry Potter- could a book like this be considered part of the official canon?
thegoblins » neu 1 years ago
Yes.

Five for Bukowski.
