Hewwo how much would it take for the joker to ever have swag again? Probably some entire reinvention of the character I think but perhaps a real - life timeline reset where he is not the boring default villain all the time? I mean there are certainly times when he does have some solid swag but . Fuck I miss Lego joker I need to rewatch Lego Batman
ok see i think part of what has made the joker so utterly swagless is over representation. sure he has always been a somewhat central figure in the bat comics as one of his more well known rogues but- ah i struggle to figure out if i am talking out my ass or not when i speak. basically i think it could have happened to ANY rogue really, but that it just so happened to be the joker that ended up getting this slow degradation because he happened to just be the easiest one. i think it is also a consequence of forcing him to slowly be something he was not necessarily ever meant to be?...
anyways the joker's key to not being such a swagless little shmuck piece of shit is to just. disappear for a while. not to make room for a new BIGGEST BAD but to make room for just, literally any other kind of story? with any other character?
i cannot really think of much that was genuinely new or interesting done with the joker past the somewhat clunky movie that was made with mr.phoenix- which i can appreciate somewhat for its attempt to do something with a character who has kind of been driven into the ground. i do not know how popular that opinion is but whatever.
as for the lego batman movie i would not know i have no watched it i have not had much inclination to watch it though i figure some day i may sit down and do so.

Would Garth seal be the type of sealed always look like he's about to cry
you mean the baikal perhaps? i am unsure! i know the times i have drawn him as a little seal pup he is based on a harp seal and normally i talk about him as a leopard seal... though i am pretty sure all seals tend to express excess salt through their tears via crying, at least the ones that live in salt/brackish waters. it is a trait they share with the likes of turtles and such! very nifty adaptation to deal with all the salt water they consume

Garth takes a nap and a seal quietly sits next to him

im. im trying to think of a good ask about hank hall idk i love him. talk about hank gogogogogo
putting me in the spot uh uh uh i like to think that he used to make don explain stuff in books to him because while he does enjoy reading he can struggle at times processing deeper themes and motifs or parsing hidden or obscured meanings. i think he sometimes re-reads 'The Great Gatsby' specifically because he has fond memories of reading/studying it WITH don, one of those rare times in their older teens where they werent bickering or berating each other. in a sense i think he may had come to associated f.scott fitzgerald's work as a whole with don as a result. which is funny as sin since hank is a self proclaimed lover of hemmingway who may as well have been fucking fitzgerald in the streets for how damn inseperable THOSE two seemed to be. adding beautiful layers to my brotherbrother incest ship like a master artisan layering watercolors

Hmm. Favorite kind of seal?
usually i would go with my usual answer of leopard seal but i think the hawaiian and mediterranean monk seal BOTH deserve more recognition as being the only two tropical earless seals that have survived into this century!! very good seals, excellent creatures. i am glad that the hawaiian monk seal has had fairly good luck in recovering its numbers in the wild with a little help and hope some day that their european cousins may have the same luck

hank was a fatass baby mrs hall was in labor for two days
henry "big chunky" hall and the 52 hour labor where rae was sure she was gonna fuckin die. people think he's 14 months at 8 because he's Big Big. when it came time to have don rae thought she was in for hell again only for that lil guy to pop out like he was on a birth canal themed slip-n-slide.

if u were handed the creeper IP to make a new Creeper run, what would u do
ok i thought about it real hard and i think what i would do is harmonize the lore of the original run with the 90's run and just. ignore. what they did in the 00's run entirely. i do not care for any of the things introduced really. and it certainly did not meaningfully expand on anything so...
ah but once the two canons were somewhat smooshed together i would really want to explore more adventures! the creeper would perhaps not be some grand overarching plot type of character but would make for a lot of really fun and zany "monster of the week" type adventures. perhaps a few issues for each adventure, which could give time to perhaps establish some reoccurring faces? ah and it would be fun to explore the creeper's relationship with the hero community at large since his place in it is... well, a bit unclear!
it would be cool to have him cross with other oddball ips like etrigan&jason blood, witch boy klarion, the question, ect.... i still hold the creeper/hawk&dove crossover issue close to my heart HA! it was so much fun seeing hank and creeper interact you know??
