Happy 51st Birthday, Tom Spurgeon!
Yes, we know. But he would have done it for us. Miss you, fella.
We Must Defend Thanos’s Constitutional Right to Snap His Fingers and Make Half of the Universe Disappear
We try not to get political here at ComicMix, but this is just too important in the wake of current events to ignore. The Second Amendment is clear: the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Granted, when the Founding Fathers wrote that amendment, they understood an “arm” to be a musket,…
RIC MEYERS: Backward Crime
Way back in the late 1980s, a few film producers thought it was interesting that “comedians,” like the late Andy Kaufman, amused themselves rather than entertained their audiences. After all, if people would pay actual money to be goaded and/or irritated, that might create a much simpler genre of filmmaking. This sentiment set the stage…

@Mike Weber: Could you PLEASE dump that whole “She *deserved* to be harassed/assaulted/raped because she wore sexy clothes” attitude back in the 1950s where it belongs? The entire POINT of the “Cosplay =/= consent” movement is that women ARE allowed to dress up, and it does NOT give the “hormone-infused” fanboys justification for acting like jerks. Boys, if you can’t go out in public and see women in “sexy” clothing without “drooling” and being a “dork”, F*CKING GROW UP ALREADY AND LEARN DECENT, RESPECTFUL BEHAVIOUR or stay home. I know developmentally-disabled/autistic fans who’ve managed to learn to interact with the opposite sex without being a$$holes; if they can do it, what’s YOUR excuse?
