Are You A Bad Enough Dude To Ask Me A Question?!

Why do you keep terrorizing Osaka? Are you a giant lizard? Have you fought with big gorillas? Did you get sponsored by Dr Pepper? Have you dribbled before? Asking for a friend.

No, that sounds like a Godzilla. I don't live that Godzilla life, not since I moved out of the city.

Ohhhh my bad my bad. You looked really similar from far.
Wait does that sound like an insult? Is it ok to go around people telling them they look Godzilla?
Well hell yeah they would. Being compared to the big lizard is always a compliment.
Saying this for a friend.

What's your favourite comic or book?
Click to expand...
Ohmygod but there's nothing I struggle with quite so much as "Pick a favorite", my malformed brain never settles on anything. For books, one that keeps jumping out at me is Robert Cormier's The Chocolate War. Not so much because of the content, but because a teacher gave it to me as an extra assignment in the 8th grade after seeing how I had already finished the current book we had been on, and was acting out and being a bit of a pain due to boredom. While I resented the punishment at the time, it did actually stick with me and make me more productive in hindsight. I devoured that book, and started expecting her to give me more like it. Probably the only time I'd tried so hard in school, to be honest.

Beef. I can't touch chicken until the family curse is lifted, and the debt repaid. Blood for blood, may it please the gods.
 
One day you're going through your comic collection. You start going over your back issues or whatever, I don't even know what you have but I imagine it's a lot considering everything and it's entirely irrelevant to this silly question, but you're going through them. You notice something then, something you've never noticed until just now. On one of them, your favourite one which I just decided now is Batman: The Widening Gyre because that's a funny one to say your favourite would be as it's famously terrible, you notice that the price sticker on it is higher than what you paid for it. Oh no, you think, I've cheated the system somehow. Since you're such a good person, you go to the comic store and say you'll pay the difference. The clerk looks at Batman: The Widening Gyre and laughs, then promptly calls the police and you're arrested for theft. Your trial is swift, and the overlords at Disney throw the book at you, metaphorically speaking. I know it's a DC book, but somehow Disney got involved, don't worry about it. But in the trial, the judge is feeling lenient and so utilizes a really strange and unheard of new sentencing style where he gives you a chance to potentially avoid jail time (a life sentence, they're really coming down on you).

The bailiff blindfolds you, carries you somewhere, then takes the blindfold off. You're in front of two doors in the back of the courthouse. In front of each door, there is a single guard. The judge speaks to you through a speaker overhead. "Behind one door is freedom, while behind the other is your jail cell, you fucking comic book thief. You make me sick by the way, but that's neither here nor there. One guard will tell only the truth, why the other guard tells only lies. Both guards know which one of them is which. You can ask one question to one of them, and then afterwards you must enter a door." The speaker goes silent, and the guards look at you.

What question do you ask?

Follow up question, what do you think of me after I made you read this whole thing for a silly pay-off that's just a classic riddle that's old as time almost? I think it was in an episode of Yu-gi Oh once even.

So obviously I would ask the guard on the left "Can we skip to the end? I've seen Labyrinth a hundred times." They'd hasten me to freedom, muttering to each other-

"Bowie was great, remember Magic Dance?"

"I remember that bulge."

As for what I think of you calling me a Widening Gyre-head? I think you'd best stay in Canada, else it's pistols at dawn, you weird sea creature.

Bowie and the bulge were great, you've chosen well.

Just imagine being Kevin Smith, sitting down at a desk, opening your laptop or whatever, and writing out Widening Gyre. Like, you unironically write a scene that retcons the classic bit from Year One where he appears in a puff of smoke in front of the mob families and spooks the shit out of them by saying that Batman also shit himself there, which he reveals to his new crimfighting buddy that it only came off slightly as Batman being oddly obsessed with and attracted to. Just admit it Kevin Smith; you wanted Batman to sleep with Baphomet, and you also really wanted to sleep with Silver St. Cloud as it got a little weird.

Why is this your favourite Batman comic, by the way?

I guess now's as good a time as any to admit that I bought Batman: Cacophony weekly when it released, thought it was mediocre, and never had interest in another Kevin Smith comic. I haven't actually read my favorite Batman comic, Widening Gyre.

Fake fan, sad.

Cacophony was very mediocre, you are correct. Onomatopoeia is the kind of comic villain I really dislike, one entirely made with a really thin gimmick that they aren't anything without, and actually just serving as a direct foil for a specific hero who they always defeat somehow with really undefined and inconsistent powers the writer tries to mask by keeping them mysterious and unexplained. The writer couldn't think of an actually cool character, so they just write a really weak one with really manufactured 'cool moments' when they inevitably defeat the hero somehow, then run away and do nothing afterwards. He reminds me a lot of Muse from Daredevil, they have the same really silly schtick.

Anyway, Kevin Smith was a pretty mediocre comic writer.

Feel free, Freaky Friday fun is the kind of nonsense I enjoy in comics. It's all silly, why not take big swings?
