Bill Maher is working hard to ensure he is hated by everybody.
Maher’s right about comic books but wrong to link the phenomenon (adult worship of comics) to Donald Trump’s rise. If anything, left/liberalism is much more the comic culture of American life. Trump is only relevant to the extent that he holds up a mirror to the contradictions and inanities of contemporary liberalism.
Nice Bill; but I think we all know how the author of “Otherness and Heterodoxy in the Silver Surfer” voted.
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.
But then you further believe your own lies when you wonder why people prefer comic books to actual intellectual thought.
Take a look in the mirror pal.
I started to read comics in college... eventually moved away from them.. tried them again recently and they are drivel mostly anymore. They were never deep literature, but they have been taken over by SJW and Diversity crapola.. with writing that is barely one dimensional.
again I don’t expect great works of literature, but they generally are written at a kindergarten level now...
Pseudo-intellectual moron. He’s truly a smarmy idiot. What exactly is he good at? Can he save lives? Is he an engineer? An inventor? Does he create inspiring works of art? Does he spend much of his life helping others? As far as I can tell, all he really does is criticize people and act superior, like lots of other narcissists.
Poor Bill must be tough to go though life with the face of a marital aid
Bill Maher - Are you still being beaten by your girlfriend?
Of course, he’s not talking about anyone with fond memories of the comic books of their youth.
He’s talking about those who get especially pretentious about “graphic novels”.
Poor Maher; I guess that penis enlargement treatment didn’t work out for him.
He’s still a sorry sad nut sack of penis envy. Poor little guy...
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.
The comic books I liked were such as Scrooge McDuck, Nancy and Sluggo, Mighty Mouse, Priscilla’s Pop, Smilin’ Jack, Felix the cat ...
Of course the punchline is comics are like any other form of mass entertainment. Sturgeon’s Law always, 90% crap. But that 10%, that’s why we read or watch or listen to anything. The great part with comics now is the field is so wide. So much that isn’t superheroes. I don’t read anything from Marvel or DC anymore. I’m an Ed Brubaker junky, bests noir writer on the planet today, any medium.
Maher is just an angry hateful creature. Best to ignore him.
A country that would elect Barack Obama to anything belongs in a comic book.
Many of the movies in the theaters today are video interpretations of the original comic books. Marvel Comics even has a movie studio operation.
Another indication of the fall of Hollywood writers. Seems like there are no original scripts any more.
I was never a big fan of comics much except Superman and Classics Illustrated. Did many a book report in school reading CI.
It would be nice if they put "Monna Vanna" into a short movie.
Bill Maher is the ugliest man on earth, inside and out. One of my first exposures to him, and I hate using that word, was when he told jay Leno he pleasured himself right before every time he went on stage. How I wish I had missed that bit of info.
Bill Mahar IS A FRIKKIN' COMIC STRIP
Only comics I ever read were Sgt Rock and the Haunted Tank. And only at summer camp. Due to my education, i always thought comic books were declasse.
