  • I'm a huge fan of Robert Crumb and underground comix in general.
    Not by Crumb but did you ever get into The Fabulous Fury Freak Brothers?

  • Rocky and Bullwinkle was one cartoon I could never get into. As a kid or as an adult I never got the draw.

    Yeah, I really like the movie too.

    Now, if you are talking anti-hero of just the written word, my response is Bukowski.

  • When did Spiderman start using guns?

  • Lol, that's not Spiderman. That's Deadpool. He's not as popular as Spiderman but his new movie is rather interesting.

    Two came to my mind first after thinking a bit ~ 

    "Steve"
    ~perfectly played by actor Ty Burrell in Zack Snyder's remake movie of "Dawn of the Dead"
     ~ kick a** movie and "Steve"/Burrell is incredible.

    and literally ALL the characters in Shirley Jackson's novel "The Sundial"
     ~ a mind-blowing, what-is-this, really? type of book. Best of all, it's not an overly long book. And all of the characters possess little, or any, redeeming qualities, and they are pretty unlikable --  which makes me like them somehow.
    :)
    (No plot spoiler, really, but a group of people, some related to each other, some not, are waiting for the end of the world to come. They have supposedly been told in a vision given to one of the characters that they'd be safe in the house once The End came.)

    Shirley Jackson is one of my favorite authors.  Great writer & great choice of story!

    Thanks, Harry, I like her, too!
    She might be my very favorite author. At least, she's way up there for me with Flannery O'Connor and Franz Kafka.
    :)
    "The Sundial" might be my favorite book of her but it's difficult for me to choose when it comes to Jackson.

    I like O'Connor & Kafka too!  

    The Lottery holds a special place in my heart because it was the first story of hers that I read and led me to her others.

    That was the first one I read of hers, too.
    Maybe you already know, but according to some biographies I've read about her, Jackson received a LOT of hostility about that story. 
    And people kept asking her what she meant by the story - - did it actually happen? why did she write it? Etc.
    No surprise,  Jackson basically just kept saying "I wrote a story. Take it or leave it." She gave no deep explanations for the story, I guess.

    I paraphrased a lot just there.
    :)

    (For me, "The Lottery" slapped the hell out of me in the ending, final moments. I wasn't expecting the ending, though the story does seem to indicate that it really should be no surprise. Some of my friends who hadn't read it figured out the basic plot of the story right from the start.)
