Joe Shuster's S/M art
Joe Shuster's S/M art, article.
As you may be aware, Joe Shuster was the co-creator of Superman.
This article once again is breathlessly sensationalistic. Hear this:
"...the story surrounding the artist's descent into sadomasochistic pornography is so shocking that even as a comic-book tale it would still seem far too bizarre." [...] "The obvious answer to what could possibly have driven Shuster to such desperate, diabolical depths is the notoriously shoddy treatment he and partner Jerry Siegel endured at the hands of Superman publisher DC Comics."
You think he'd been selling heroin to school children, not making fetishistic comic book covers. Good grief, give us a break.
But it's done it's job. Thanks to the outraged tones of the article it has pushed peoples buttons, and through the grapevine of bloggers, heightened awareness of the "Expose"(where are those accents when you want them) book. Yeo may get a few more sales out of this article.
ReplyDeleteWho buys books which shout "don't look, porns in here!"? Probably those who wouldn't except this is a book deriding it, so they can, without losing face.
That S&M cover looks like a typical Tarzan episode to me, where the queen of the jungle has him tied down for some bizarre sacrifice ritual.
"Question Everything" - What's that thing hanging over her left shoulder?
ReplyDeleteIt can't possibly be her left breast, yet it seems to be part of it. Are we sure this guy is an artist or was he smoking something illegal while he drew that?

HILARIOUS, Ray! Yup...that looks like one MASSIVE mammary muscle, there! lol!
The guy probably did, uh...one line too many lines! ;-) lol!
You're probably a child molester. I can see you posting some anti-molestation article and saying "Isn't it ridiculous?!"

No-no-no, wou've got it all figured wrong! Haven't you seen the title? "Secret Identity"!
Here's the true caption:
"Honestly, Lois, I love to do what pleases my wifey, but this whipping fails to turn me on. Invulnerability, remember?
- SHUT UP AND WHIMPER, SLAVE! START BEGGING ME FOR MERCY!""What's that thing hanging over her left shoulder?

Actually, I think this woman needs S&M domination of super-strong males to restore her feminine confidence, because she lost it along with her left breast from cancer surgery. And what you see is her (extra-corporeal) prosthetic breast.

Right, you tell him!
That's clearly an image of child molestation right there, and even worse, one ADVOCATING the molestation!
That whipped boy is SO obviously underage.
Keep up the good fight, Brother. You're not, um, alone.
