"There’s a common assumption that all quiet people really want to be talkative, but can’t be. They..."

“

There’s a common assumption that all quiet people really want to be talkative, but can’t be. They just lack confidence, or are really bad with words, but if you just reached out a helping hand and gave them a gentle push, you could rescue them from their silent prison, from which they must constantly look out in misery at normal people talking and enjoying themselves.

The root problem is projection. A lot of people just think, “If I wasn’t talking, that would mean something was wrong, and I would want someone to pay attention to me, put me on the spot, and push me into something crazy. That would snap me out of it!” Which is probably true for them, but different people have different personalities, and for some people, that’s the wrong cure entirely, while for some other people, it’s not even a problem that needs a “cure.”

Armored rino

A while ago I Tumbled an image from Sebastian Münster’s Cosmographia (1544) of a bunch of fantastic creatures wearing Speedos. The book was very popular because of the woodcuts it contained. Here is another great image from that same book: “the animal named rhinoceros”, as the German caption states. The decorator emphasized the protective armour of the animal, turning the rhinoceros into a medieval knight. The owner of this copy had the woodcut coloured in, which makes the tank-like animal look like an assault weapon. It must have been a marvel to look at this image in the pre-Zoo era.

HEY, WE’RE DC COMICS!

NOW THAT ALL OUR ARTISTS HAVE ABANDONED US, YOU TOO CAN BE A COMIC CREATOR!

SUBMIT FOUR PANELS OF BATMAN JERKING OFF ON A DISMEMBERED CORPSE AND WE’LL GIVE YOU THIS HANDFUL OF BEADS!

To be fair they do say they will pay ‘industry standard rate’ for the page if you win, it’s not like you would be getting nothing but being published. I personally don’t find the page distasteful, because of the context. It’s 4th wall breaking, she realizes she is nothing but a drawing on a page in the scene in question, and she’s trying to screw over the creative team. It’s a bit like that Daffy Duck cartoon, Duck Amuck, (one of my personal all time favorites) where Daffy yells at and tries to get back at the cartoonist (Bugs).

But yeah. They are clearly driving away talent at such an alarming rate that they are getting desperate. First it was hiring person after person from Scott Snyder’s writing class, and now talent searches. But I can not deny that I am drawing Harley right this second >.> Hey, it’s ONE page, not like I will have to deal with the incessant meddling, assuming I win.
