Krampus On Infinite Earths #7 (2010)

Story by Chris Sims
Art by Nate Bellegarde

For sixteen hundred years, Santa Claus and Krampus have been an unstoppable team, giving presents to good children and hauling the wicked ones off to Hell! But now, as the sinister Nackles grows in power from his absolute destruction of the North Pole workshop, that partnership has come to an end with The Death of Santa Claus!

Without their jolly leader, can even the combined might of the Council of Cross-Time Krampuses, including fan-favorites like Krampula, Bat-Krampus, Gun-Toting '90s Krampus, Teenage Mutant Ninja Krampus, Mortal Kombat Krampus, and the sultry Krampess rise up to stop the planet Earth from becoming a charred cinder of coal? Find out in this double-sized shocker that changes everything you know about the Holidays!

Wait... where the FUCK in brave new world does it mention this crap? Information is still denied to people, ridiculous stuff is still pushed by governments, and who the fuck gave Huxley (or this fanwanking piece of crap) the correctness to decide what "a trivial culture" is. I mean for the love of Baal, people have been worried about this sort of crap for generations saying how "low class" art is entering and becoming too important, and always, ALWAYS its people who think of themsevles as the sole arbiters of what is good that do this.

Wether wealthy moralists or annoying arthouse types, theres always been a kind of handwringing "oh god there ENJOYING this" kind of fascination with what people are doing and somehow saying that it will cripple us "as a culture" is one of the most asinine and self righteous things you can talk about. Its the equivilent of people complaining about Muslim influences in the world, would you accept those accusations with the same nods of "he has a point" that so many people looking at this (and considering themselves unaffected by the "common herd" ideas) will do?

Sorry to rant, but this sort of thing really gets me irritated.

There are reasons I posted it in the pointless thread and not in Discuss. Also, I am one of those people that wastes time doing arbitrary things on the Internet, I'm not putting myself above what the artist is claiming. I mean, I'm posting shit in a pointless thread on an internet forum for a web comic? Also, the artist just interpreted what Neil Postman wrote in 1985.

Josefbugman · « **Reply #3956 on:** 23 Dec 2010, 09:52 »

Urgh, sorry have a hangover and feeling crotchety, so I was more disagreeing with the sentiment expressed within the comic rather than anything in particular, sorry to give that impression.

Interestingly enough, the book this claims to be drawn from is quite good. It's been a while since I last read it, but I seem to remember that the author's argument is not about 'high art' vs. 'entertainment', and indeed is not really directed against entertainment at all, but is instead directed primarily against the trivialization of important public discourse by television news. If you're interested in these kind of debates (which, from your rather strong reaction, it seems you are) you would probably find the book very interesting, even if you don't agree with the argument being made.

Kanye West's ego has grown so large that it has, in fact, separated entirely from his body and is now hanging around his neck.

you know, I think if M L King Jr. didnt die and entered a time warp to 2010, he would slap the shit out of Kanye.

We can now only hope that Kevin Stewart will do it instead. Yes, he definitely seems like the man for the job
