Snark It Up, FuzzBall!

Eduardo Barreto, one-time illustrator for Juggs Judge Parker (I <3 Abbey Spencer, and Gloria, and crazy stripper/murderer Dixie, and hot detective Robin!), returns to the comics as the new illustrator for the Sunday edition of The Phantom!  It’s so good to know that he recovered from his bout with meningitis, but I’m not sure that I’m ready to see Guran’s moobs…maybe Diana and Capt. Savarra will figure more *prominently* in future storylines.

What we all read a serial comic about the legal profession for…BODACIOUS TATAS!!!

Maybe a preface will help.  Maybe not.

This is an excerpt from an actual online article about one of the most kid-friendly, all-American comics around:  Archie.

Archie Comics Publications is suing one of its CEOs for what appears to be a history of bullying and sexually harassing employees, according to the New York Daily News.

The suit, filed in Manhattan Supreme Court last Thursday, says Nancy Silberkleit barged into a meeting in 2009 and “pointed to each [attendee] and said, ‘Penis! Penis! Penis! Penis!’ and then walked out.”

Silberkleit was named Co-CEO after her husband Michael — the son and heir of Archie Comic’s founder, Louis Silberkleit — died in 2008. It was just a few months after Michael’s business partner, Richard Goldwater, also died; and with no succession plan in place, Silberkleit and Goldwater’s brother Jon took over. At the time, Silberkleit was a third-grade teacher with no business experience.

“I’m a mother coming into a very male-oriented business,” she told The Oregonian last year. “I’m not getting any support. I felt very alone.”

Wow, three days of Abbey Spencer lounging around in her tangerine pegnoir, lolling on Sophie’s bed, and then WHAM! Right back to the excitement of Emma on the roof.

It’s going to be a long summer, gang — but not if I can help it!

…sure does startle the little buggers, though!

Or maybe it’s just “38D-licious,” in ice cream shoppe jargon!

NO!

Do we want Abbey in a sheer pegnoir!

YES!

All righty then…

I think Manley’s doing a fine job as the new illustrator for Judge Parker.

Oh, yeah…NSFW, I suppose.
