Shootin' Off My Mouth Some More


Opinions are like butts...everybody's got one and most of 'em stink, but that didn't stop them from posting the second installment of my column on writing, Things I've Learned Along the Way on Kirk Chritton's fine website, ComicsCareer.com. This week, I talk about being true to your character because, never forget, like Soylent Green, "Story is People." I also rag on Frank Miller for using dirty words in All-Star Batman and Robin #10...actually, I rag on DC Comics for letting him use dirty words in All-Star Batman and Robin #10, but I figure if it sounded like I was knocking Miller, maybe people would pay attention.

I'm totally down with you re: the suitability of Robin saying curse words.

I had the same problem with Identity Crisis--in my mind, there is no such thing as rape in a world where you have Detective Chimp.
