Neal Is Not Alone

by Greg

Apparently, Michael Netzer is just as flipping insane as Neal Adams.

And we both usually blush given such attention, Greg. Thank you.

Maybe there's something in the art style. Does anybody know Bill Sienkiewicz's position on earth science? Or has it changed over the years?

Well, it was mentioned in the previous thread that Wegener needed a strong inker like Sienkiewicz. A more faithful inker like Giordano just shows the weaknesses in tectonic theory.

I prefer the jam issue of Geophysical Action Comics done by Dietz, Heezen, and Hess along with an inking assist by J. Tuzo Wilson, in which Aquaman had to rescue Atlantis from overly rapid seafloor spreading. Wasn't that one of the few Aquaman covers done by Adams? Or did he only do Oceanographic Adventure?

Your brilliant humor should be displayed on Broadway, Greg. From this, I'd assume that an art style such as Sergio Aragones' implies support for Etherism.

Dear god - the world is going to POP! In Quicktime, no less!

Movies in which we live, parents picked by computer! I AM NOT READY FOR THE WORLD THAT'S COMING!

[Pause for contemplation; the use of "etherism" in English appears to be primarily limited to translating a Vietnamese term.]

Precisely, Michael. Similarly, the development of cultural relativism can be precisely traced to the Beanworld/Golden Age Beanworld crossover done by Boas and Marder.

I think Vegas would make a better venue for this material. Greg really shouldn't try to tackle Broadway unless he has someone who could add a musical score.

That's not all I'll need.

This is a joke that I'm just not getting, right?

I'll admit, Greg, I conjured up the word to describe the Ether theory and Etherists. I face such language problems often in the Middle-East but Boas and Marder would be proud to see that it now extends to Vietnam.

We'll meet in Vegas, Doug.

Kynn: Right. But it's perhaps better this way.
