I believe that from now on, whenever anyone asks me "what four people from all of history and literature would you like for dinner guests?" my reply will always be Maggie, Haddock, Buddy and Calvin.

I've always preferred Hobbes to Calvin.

Not Batman?

xpost,
That's like saying you prefer Harvey to James Stewart, or Ida Know to Jeffy!

I'm trying to have a good time here! You think Batman knows how to party?

"BATUS"?

I have a theory that Batman has NO TASTE at all. Like not just BAD TASTE, but no taste. Because he's so wholly devoted himself to crimefightery, he's completely sublimated art/music/whatever appreciation. SURE he understands stuff on an intellectual level, and can WEAR taste when he needs to (especially as Bruce Wayne), but it's mere posturing, because as long as there's kids being orphaned in the streets of Gotham, Batman won't dance.

that's Batman of the post-Miller era, btw

xxpost, have you never seen Adam West, Tuomas?

Hmmm, yeah, I like that notion. One of Alfred's main functions is to pick his clothes out for him and buy the artwork for Stately Wayne Manor.

That would explain him at a Roy Lichtenstein retrospective, anyway.

I'd like to publically apologise for killing ILX dead as Superman by finishing this.

Rather boring list. Japan is represented by one character, Europe (outside 2000AD) by two. And who the hell puts two characters from Preacher on a top 50 list, and neither of them is Cassidy?! Jesse Custer was like the most boring character in the whole comic, the Tintin of his own book.

― Tuomas, Thursday, 10 July 2008 13:46 (fifteen years ago) link

Actually, Jesse and Cassidy are pretty much like Tintin and Haddock, right?

― Tuomas, Thursday, 10 July 2008 13:46 (fifteen years ago) link

RIP Mona Lisa Ludatits ;_;

The really striking thing about the list is its complete avoidance of kids' characters (obviously, yes, a lot of the ones featured weren't meant for adults originally).

― Groke, Thursday, 10 July 2008 15:22 (fifteen years ago) link

I'm not clicking 50 times to read that whole list.
