My birthday song, my badass world (Part 369)...

 Badass Birthday

On this date, one hundred and 14 years ago (1912) in Spokane Washington, Chuck Jones was born. 


Now, a lot of people younger than me may not know who this is.   But as a Gen Xers, I was a latchkey kid. When I got home from school, my parents wouldn't be home for about an hour.  So I turned on the tv, turned on channel 5 (which then was an independent station, and remained so until sometime in the early 90s I think, when it was swallowed up by Fox Noise network), and enjoyed the cartoon reruns they replayed in the afternoon.  Half an hour of Tom & Jerry.  Half an hour of Bugs Bunny and his crew.  etc, etc, etc. 

And everytime on of those Bugs Bunny cartoon came on, "Directed by Chuck Jones" would appear on the screen.  He worked for Warner Bros making shorts to air before movies, and these shorts were bunched together in groups of three and aired together in half hour increments.  That's what I was watching. 

Chuck Jones had a hand in creating Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Wile E. Coyote & the Roadrunner, Pepe le Pew, Marvin the Martian and Porky Pig.  After leaving Warner Bros, he want to M&M and continued his career, working on the aforementioned Tom & Jerry.   And he even had a hand in the animated tv special "How The Grinch Stole Christmas".   Over the years, he was nominated for 10 Oscars and he won 4 of them!

He passed away in 2002 at the age of 89.

But anyone who can help create so many different iconic cartoon character surely is badass!

 Today In The History Of Polt's Comic Book Collection

Today we travel back 40 years (dear GOD, how can it be FORTY years ago???) and DC's The Watchmen #1. 


This was a HELLUVA year to be a collector of DC comic books!  Return Of The Dark Knight (Feb to June) and Crisis On Infinite Earths (Apr 85 - Mar of 86) were both out that year, and then in fall, this series started with the above issue. 

It was like NOTHING I had ever seen before.  The art was by Dave Gibbons, and kinda cartoonish, but that didn't diminish the impact it had.  And the story...laid out slowly over 12 glorious issues Alan Moore and Gibbons brought us to a world of superheroes, but ones we had never seen before.  And a world we had never seen before.  Every other issue advanced the plot with intervening issues basically being a biography of one of the main characters...and it still advanced the storyline too. 

The Watchmen is nearly universally acclaimed as the BEST, the GREATEST comic book/superhero story of all time. 

And it all started with this issue, 40 years ago.

Contrary was Fox Noise and the orange shitgibbon himself says, this is absolutely true.

His 'allies' (if they still remain so after him) know he's a moron and laugh at him. 

The dictatorships (Russia, Saudi Arabia, China, North Korea) know he's so easy manipulated with flattery and so they do it, and they laugh at him. 

His 'enemies' (say Iran) know he's all air and not action, so they just keep standing firm and they laugh at him. 

It's so sad and pathetic.

I don't think, even as a kid, any of those things would make me buy a comic book I wasn't already inclined to purchase.  A mean a purple background might draw my attention to the comic book, but I don't think it would guarantee I'd get it. 

I was never into the World War II comics, or the Westerns they published, and even if one of them had all SEVEN of these things on it, I still wouldn't have gotten it. 

But then Carmine Infantino was a comic book artist, creator, editor and publisher, so I suppose he knows what he's talking about.

On this date in 1948, in New Jersey, George R.R. Martin was born. 



Martin is an author, TV screenwriter and producer who's done many works. However, he's a badass for his creation of A Song Of Fire And Ice and all the related works which is what Game Of Thrones was based on. 

And anyone who is responsible for Westeros and all that's in it, well they're surely a badass!
