does liking elfquest make me gay?

theres something about it. ive browsed their websites, looking for new material, and theres no way in hell im gonna be seen alive next to another elfquest-fan, oh god, its like mildly-braindamaged-hippie-new-age-furry-dolphinlover-galore
BUT
the series is well drawn, excellent artwork, and i do like the progression of the original story. theres a commercial shift happening, where the series sells out, gets made by a panel of artists, who buttrape the whole series into oblivion, but prior to that... its actually a compelling story.

please say it doesnt make me gay :(

i highly appreciate the consistency of the artwork for example, a certain characters facial features will be consistent from the 1st to the 30th issue, you could recognize their heads shaved and uncolored.

theres also an underlying premise of accepting change whenever it comes, as a stark contrast to "make things go back to the way they used to be" we see many places elsewhere.
there is also much more ambiguity concerning good-vs-evil, stating clearly that it is not that simple, and that most "evils" act out of fear, a fear that is often unwarranted or based on misunderstandings. the mission then becomes to attempt to reach through to this force of evil, rather than to blindly destroy it

here's their fearless, butch and manly chief "Cutter"

i swear, im into chicks.
 
damn damn damn!

does it help any that my late cat managed to piss evenly on my entire collection, and ruin it for eternity?
 
I actually read some ElfQuest as a kid. Never got into it tho. Seems a little melodramatic. Like a proto-Twilight?

So yeah, pretty gay.

they were stacked in a little box, and i happened to leave the house forgetting to open a window for her to run in and out.
when in her "need" she would instinctively look for "litter boxes"

i guess she pissed on the top issues, and gravity did the rest :(

Crni Vuk, you are saying elfquest makes me as gay as sugar and fat makes someone fat :(

it is extremely touchy-feeley, but i always felt it went well with my cynical atheism otherwise, "awww they have concious spirits and stuff!"

oh, and just to clarify - threads that are leaning more towards inanity (hey, its not my fault none of you he-man-boys care about elfquest :( ) are better posted in The Order?

Not at all. The Order is a separate community. It's a little sillier, but there's no rule against threads like this one here. Pretty much anything you want to discuss (other than videogames) is fine for GD.
 
I used to be majorly into Elfquest, back in the days before the internet existed (and none of you were even born etc.) so being a fan of something meant you just read it and liked it. I am to the best of my knowledge not gay.

You're spot on about the shift in quality that happened shortly after the main series ended and they brought in a lot of random writers and artists to do multiple titles and make monies. Basically everything at least co-written and drawn by Wendy Pini is good and everything else is barely passable at best. The first eight volumes, Hidden Years, Bearclaw, Dreamtime I suppose, and quite possibly something else I may not even have read.

You have to feel sorry for WP spending decades trying to get a movie made.

(thank you! :D )
Pini did release two stories recently, drawn and written by her, and it felt good to see her personal touch brought back into the story again.
She also drew the last concluding issues of the otherwise fragmented mess, which i appreciated - including a colored short story of Rayek, taking place in the 17 or 1800s.

the unforgivingness of the "time jump" in the broken-wheel series has inspired a lot of my own writing. as a kid it impressed me that an author would take a story twist to such irreversible degrees. i hadnt seen that in any other comic book before.

cats are amazing.
i have a suspicion my asshole mentally ill neighbor killed her to make some stupid point or something (we had an argument about his door-rug, that he insisted she was capable of ripping to shreds. i got tons of irritating anecdotes about that guy, but, later i guess), but i cant prove anything, and even if i did, it wouldnt make a dent of difference. all i can do is hope he gets lost out in the woods, where he loves to go trekking.

best cat ever. she would know my intentions by just little winks and and twitches. i'd eyeroll to people insisting cats cant be trained, for then to try "dog-speak" to their cat "NO! YES! BAD CAT!"

her destruction of my elfquest collection was forgiven there and then, cus it was my own stupid fault anyway. i felt worse about the fact that she had probably tried to hold back for hours, before she couldnt anymore :D
i'd love another cat at some point, but first im gonna get far far away from this particular neighbor...

Damn, I'm sorry to hear that.
Jeez, I usually have a hard time killing bees/spiders when I come across them, what kind of an asshole would do such a thing to a cat.
