Remember Steve Irwin?
No, please, go on, fill that blank if for us.
You might try a comic or two from here. Not politically correct.

I realize that I’m in the minority but I miss the CCA. I loved the comics of the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. Today’s comics are too left-wing for me.
Maher should have one percent of Stan Lee’s talent....
then maybe he’d be happier with hisself
In other words ...
... watch your back, Shinzo Abe ...
Humans hunger for heroes. Societies that don’t provide ideal role models for people to aspire to fall to those that do.
Liberals have “deconstructed” and torn down religion.
They berate and hate the military.
They despite business leaders and everyday heroes like cops.
Where can you see a good, moral person fighting for justice and defending the innocent? All many have left are the fictional heroes in comics. Hence the wave of super-hero movies based on comics instead of historical heroes are are systematically deconstructed - like DC and the deliberate tear-down of Superman to reject American citizenship and bash American values.
Mahrer’s an idiot.
So was Stan Lee, huge liberal and Hillary supporter.
Maus is excellent. One can find it online.
“Stan Lee was easily one of the most creative men of the 20th and 21st centuries, and a pretty cool cat in general.
Bill can only wish he had a tenth of Stan Lee’s talent.”
‘Nuff said.
Maher-on conveniently forgot that Stan Lee was a huge lib and was scammed by a Hillary Clinton fundraiser http://articles.latimes.com/2003/jul/20/business/fi-stanlee20 yet he was a lib till the end.
Me too, I only tried it once and the teacher seemed to know immediately that I did not read the book. (Using CI for a school report.)
But I grew up reading all comics. I had a collection that would have been valuable except that I read them all many times.
I liked Dr Strange, Challengers of the Unknown, Action, Tarzan, Turok, you get the idea.
Now the movies have enough special effects to do the comics justice, so I watch them as well.
Bill Maher may have his opinion, but a lot of people are not with him on this.
Oh, and as far as being great literature, they do use proper English in comics, and in other languages they strive to use good structure and grammer in their languages too, because governments realize that comics may be the first and in some cases the only texts that children get to read. May as will make them good texts.
Are kids still reading comics?
I thought it was all middle-aged collectors nowadays.
“Are kids still reading comics?”
Yep,all ages——only they are called graphic novels now-——some are quite good.

>>Gee Billy boy - 20 years ago people turned to comedians like you and Jon Stewart as they thought they were being informed when in reality you were propagandizing. This trend has only continued and it perplexed me that your shoddy, dinwitted opinions are considered so important by your equally dinwitted and sheep acting audience.<<
It is ironic that someone who started their career out on a show named “Politically Incorrect” not only never was but even the small amount of infidelity to leftist orthodoxy has been made to fall in line.
Bottom line: bill maher has ALWAYS been politically correct and NEVER Politically incorrect.
“And so they pretended...” The person who wrote this for Mr. Maher should get a raise, since the text gives the impression that Mr. Maher is dull and detached from reality. Stan Lee found opportunities that are present in a free market.
There are some lines that are specifically targeted toward younger kids - they typically tie into an animation version of the same thing. Usually the animation comes first - similar to what happened with hanna Barbara in the 60s the comics came very quickly after the cartoons or were released after work had already started on the cartoons.
Unfortunately I see comics dying off in the US after the next generation because they aren’t mass retailing them anymore. You don’t see them on a spinner rack in the grocery/drug store anymore so kids don’t get to leaf through them the way we used to while “mom and dad were shopping”. The change in distribution in the 80s helped kill off the CCA and change the industry - but it also took away most kids access to the genre.
There have been a couple minor hints that this might change - Walmart just did a deal with DC starting in August to put out a set of comics that are only available in their store.
Comic books = Modern myth.
Hollywood film scores = Modern classical music.
Destroy something, create a void, and something else will fill it.
The worse problem, which does not bother Maher, is that comic book movies have become thorough leftist propaganda.
Yep.
All the people I know, who are seriously into graphic novels (expensive comic books) are hard-left Dems.
This is funny because Maher’s audience is EXACTLY those people who won’t grow up.
