So there’s a Kickstarter for a new comics anthology called Cringe, in which cartoonists relate stories of “personal humiliation, shame & awkwardness,” which, you know, hey, all right! But I took a look at the list of contributors and saw that my old pal Fred Noland is participating and I couldn’t donate money fast enough. Dog Boy creator Steve Lafler is also joining in the fun, and I think you all know how much I like Steve Lafler.
I am actually still expecting this character to return in some form, someday. Maybe even in a Spider-Man film, once they run through all the other antagonists in the next couple of sequels.
Sure, poking a little fun at Mr. Liefeld may seem to be old hat, but that “After” picture is amazing. And disturbing. And, perhaps, just a little upsetting. Well done! This is what I picture the eventual live-action Youngblood movie to be like.
