Though I don't care for Sarah Palin in real life, she looks hot here. Well, she does in real life, too, but she's dumber than a box of rocks.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13605551857342134163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494300487817796111.post-75881268519725785592011-04-29T11:30:00.753-05:002011-04-29T11:30:00.753-05:00I have somewhat mixed feelings about this.

On the other hand, comics are an art form, and inevitably art forms engage with the real world, sometimes evolving from that engagement, and sometimes affecting public opinion through that engagement. I guess my wishy-washy answer is I'm okay with political reflections in comics as long as it's kept to a "reasonable" (whatever that means) level.Chris C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08655640273250716377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494300487817796111.post-28788493379657346162011-04-28T20:48:18.472-05:002011-04-28T20:48:18.472-05:00sarah palin looks so hawtsarah palin looks so hawtThe Awesome Alienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475715560458664421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494300487817796111.post-29754062976062204142011-04-28T19:29:03.318-05:002011-04-28T19:29:03.318-05:00I like that we've got some differences of opin...I like that we've got some differences of opinion on this point.

I liked comics for a good story and character and very little superpowers, Batman, Wolverine, Punisher etc....real life sucks so we used comics for adventure and fantasy.The Angry Lurkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227314379603418332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494300487817796111.post-41598192435190035972011-04-28T16:30:30.691-05:002011-04-28T16:30:30.691-05:00Great little article, thanks.Great little article, thanks.Biff Tannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05038624982000421521noreply@blogger.com
