Dave Cooper Hates Comics

Dave Cooper has been our dawg since forever. In fact, we go back with him to days he doesn’t even want to remember (anyone see Pressed Tongue?). We did Pip & Norton with him back in the 80s and ran it in Vice and there were even rumors that we were blowing him. That’s why it hurts so fucking much to hear he doesn’t do comics as much as he used to… Vice: They say that it’s really hard to find new farmers these days. The sons of farmers today have seen what a hard slog it is and have decided it’s easier to go find a job in the city. The same is true for cartooning. It’s over. And you killed it.

Dave Cooper You gave up on the cartoons because it was too hard. Now you “found a job in the city” which is painting. I hate you for that. You make other cartoonists feel Amish or something. Why did you abandon us? Ripple Eddy Table Wait, you suck off other artists? Why did you abandon us? Why do you hate comics so much?

Ripple

some Ripple So comics suck? They do don’t they? Who are we kidding? You spend eight hours on a page and people read it in a few seconds. Krazy Kat That’s gay. How long did it take you to do Crumple, for example? What was that, like, ten million years? Ripple How much money did you get for it? What was it, like, 0.000000000000000001 dollars an hour? Comics may be gay and boring but cartoonists are gods because nobody realizes how much work they do for so little. Like, an artist will have a show if he has a dozen or so pen and ink drawings, and when a cartoonist sees that he’s all, “Pshaw, that’s two fucking pages for me.” I have never heard that expression before. “I have to get my beans out.” Can you use it in another context please? I’d like to master this saying, “get the beans out.” So you hate comics and you love painting. So comics suck and you hate them. But comics are a shit life right? What would you make per hour as a cartoonist compared to per hour as a painter? You are a bastard. Go here to learn more about the Lemmy of tittie drawings.
