I've heard this so many times now that I'm starting to think there should be a discussion about just THAT subject. What other parallels and patterns might be unearthed?

He CAN create great works, still, today, and I look forward to them for years to come.

There's a whole shitton of "I" in there however, making it pretty clear this is my view, which takes the tack of "Hey, let's take another look at this guy who wrote what used to be my favorite monthly comic book."<br /><br />> Do they ever stop to look at the actually truly repulsive belief systems of people like Alan Moore and Grant Morrison? Both of whom are self espousing (and delusional) black magicians?<br /><br />Write an article, and submit. My article had naught to do with Sim's belief system beyond a couple comments. It had everything to do with his apparent need to self-destruct his cartooning career no matter what, and hey, how that might have just been averted. <br /><br />> If one creator's fair game, all creators are fair game. But better, no creator should be fair game. It's just not relevant to the work on the page.

OK, gotcha.<br /><br />> This is very much in the "Herge was a Nazi" vein of 12 year old level critique.<br /><br />OK. Thanks for reading!Geoffrey D.
