Yeah, it's by someone named Tony Waltman. Groznic, as he makes clear in his own discussion of erotic sequential art, would NEVER be so vulgar!

It's also funny that he mentions Liefeld as one of the great artists, when the guy is mainly known today through articles like this: https://www.progressiveboink.com/2012/4/21/2960508/worst-rob-liefeld-drawings

As a bird person, I feel compelled to link this in relation to the cigarette nest article:

The cigs may actually repel parasitic mites! So it's not as tragic as it seems.

I agree that the Jeremy Halcote article is a bit too real. How many of us have once been Jeremy Halcote, or feared that we were?

And the Onion's slide shows suck, honestly. I am not clicking through fifty pages to get maybe two or three good jokes. The only ones that are good are those that play with the format; I recall they did a "tribute" to some Republican senators once in which all the "honorees" were represented with pictures of maggots.

Well said on all fronts. I can't rip on them for going to slideshows in this internet economy, but I don't have to pretend like it's in the service of comedy.
