in retrospect, how did Rob Liefeld ever manage to hold down a artist job in the comics industry?

Ah, but...

Following the April 2012 release of DC Comics' solicitations for that July, which included Liefeld's covers for The Savage Hawkman #11, Deathstroke #11, and Grifter #11—all of which showed characters' feet—Liefeld, who had been criticized for avoiding drawing characters' feet, commented, "The Hipsters don't know what to do when I draw feet. It confuses them."[106]

“The Hipsters don’t know what to do when I draw feet,” and other totally normal things to say.

The Hipsters will continue doing what they've always done, Rob: neither know nor care about your existence.

Or is that just his random catch-all term for people who acknowledge his absence of talent

Rob is now "redrawing" this book that ppl gave him thousands of dollars for seven years ago, to remove the characters that he accidentally forgot he doesn't own

I'm, picturing him with a giant eraser going at his pages and it's making me giggle

“The Hipsters don’t know what to do when I draw feet” is some amazingly funny "I'm triggering the haters" dialogue and I agree it's board worthy

I'm picturing him with a giant eraser going at his pages and then redrawing the exact same inept figure he drew seven years before.

but with different pouches

Οὖτις, Tuesday, 13 August 2019 16:18 (four years ago) link

different more

Come and Rock Me, Hot Potatoes (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 13 August 2019 16:21 (four years ago) link

Why has he never just created a character like The Pouch, with every inch of human anatomy obscured by countless pouches? Play to your strengths, Rob!

Come and Rock Me, Hot Potatoes (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 13 August 2019 16:22 (four years ago) link

I mean, he kind of has, multiple times over

the hipsters have lots of pouches these days, so we're really in a Liefeld or post-Liefeld world

I love that the pouch gun is firing... a pouch

Οὖτις, Tuesday, 13 August 2019 17:32 (four years ago) link

that literally is the best Liefeld drawing I've ever seen

brigadier pudding (DJP), Tuesday, 13 August 2019 17:37 (four years ago) link

Agreed - tho the intersection of gun & left hand still isn't quite right.

well it is composed entirely of the one thing rob has spent his entire career drawing

(Appears only as a corpse) (bizarro gazzara), Tuesday, 13 August 2019 18:22 (four years ago) link

OMG, I...I honestly thought I was just being a wisenheimer.

It's simultaneously his best and most self-aware drawing ever.

ten months pass...

Only watched bits of it but was amused by Liefeld saying "you can have a sword and a gun!" reminding me of an image Sic posted above. He does an impression of Alan Moore talking about Pulp Fiction and a bit about Stephen Platt hating him now.

three years pass...

Liefeld memoir Robservations forthcoming. Or, y'know, at least like the first two chapters and then maybe a third chapter seven years from now.

God help me but I think I need to read this POS.

a+++++++++ title, quite possibly there are not enough plus signs in all of math to convey how stupid/roflmao/stupid that title is. like he's been jealously guarding this brilliant little nugget since elementary school and he's finally ready to share it with the world. bless that fucking dork.
