Who sails the ships out of Blogwatch,
Laden with Bibles and rum?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Megan McArdle<\/span>: You should be reading Megan anyway<\/a>, because she gets both the problems with the current US health-care system and the problems with the proposed fixes; but I found this post<\/a> especially interesting for its discussion of what the euro can and can\u2019t do. <\/p>\n

Digression: In writing about film for this blog I\u2019ve noticed that I don\u2019t talk about form the way I do with comics. Like I said, I\u2019ve lost a lot of that vocabulary, which in turn limits my ability to think that way, and that\u2019s really sad. When I first started regularly reviewing comics\u2013probably for The Comics Journal\u2013it took a shot by Milo George at the state of comics criticism to make me realize that I was doing the usual formula: Three or four paragraphs about the writing, one paragraph about the art, a \u201cto be sure\u201d paragraph, and a conclusion. Figuring out that comics are a visual medium ain\u2019t rocket science, so to confer upon myself a rocket-science degree if you will, I tried to fix this the easiest way I could: I began forcing myself to start reviews by talking about the visual aspects of the comics.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

more<\/a>\u2013I\u2019ll be pushing myself this way as well<\/p>\n

The 40 Worst Rob Liefeld Drawings<\/a><\/span>. I wouldn\u2019t care really, but now that I really like Deadpool\u2026 I mean really, the pouches and the buttocks and the\u2026 the hands that don\u2019t do what they should and the FEET the FEET the BARBIE FEET I just can\u2019t\u2026 well yeah, basically Liefeld is genuinely as bad as you\u2019ve heard. And this takedown is mostly funny!<\/p>\n
