1.)





I, for one, would absolutely love a "It Sucks To Be Harvey Dent" Lego playset.




2.) And this, ladies and gentlemen, THIS... is how fucked we all are.





So, all that "being able to talk to sea creatures is a lame-ass power" bullshit ain't so funny now, is it?

I was actually thinking about a possible Aquaman vs. Cthulhu battle, but everyone says Arthur would lose. I think they're right. Instead, I think Namor could and would beat Cthulhu, while for Aquaman, the above would totally happen. Because he is King of the Goddamned Seas.



3.) Stan Lee, circa 1973





I've been thinking, for some future comic convention, I should get some old-man makeup effects and go dressed as Stan Lee. Bad toupee, liver spots, and all. And/or, bust out the smoking jacket and go as his IRON MAN cameo:





Some folks think the idea of me dressed as Stan Lee dressed as Hef is too corny, too ironic. I suppose it would be, for the five people who'd actually get the family reference. I've gotta say seeing one of my fandom's greatest icons dressed up as my estranged cousin (and nicknamesake!) was pretty damn surreal.

Okay.. I take back everything bad I've ever said about Aquaman, as long as he doesn't sic The Beast upon me.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

There are two scans I wish I had on hand for whenever I want to back up Arthur's awesomeness:

1.) Those Aquaman scenes from Patton Oswalt's JLA: WELCOME TO THE WORKING WEEK

and 2.) that splash page from Paul Dini and Alex Ross' JLA: LIBERTY AND JUSTICE, where Aquaman rides on in upon a fucking whale with a huge-ass harpoon in hand and the legions of the ocean at his back, ready to delivery serious asskickery to a whaling fleet.

Alas, the former is gone along with scans_daily (and I don't own the book), and the latter is nowhere available through google from what I can see.

But hey, at least I still have this:



Don't fuck with Aquaman, or he will throw a fucking polar bear at you. Possibly the one from LOST.

[insaneboingo.livejournal.com]

OMG! I haven't laughed that hard all day. LOL!

I promise will not mess with Aquaman anymore, for fear he would throw and Armored Bear at me.

[victoria-wayne.livejournal.com]

Oh hells yes.

See, I love Aquaman and I've got these friends who will just... not cut out the hate.

This cancels out all the ensuing frustration, so, thank you. I now know how to handle the inevitable belittlement for knowing the awesome of the King.

[kosher-jenny.livejournal.com]

I can't stop laughing!

I think what does it for me is the o_O look on the bear's face.

[tragical-mirth.livejournal.com]

I think as long as you apply the liver spots, the trashy girls, and the trashy Tony Stark to your get-up, there will be no question who you are.

Actually, can I borrow the trashy Tony Stark prop when you're done with it?

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

hahaha, that's it, yes, I need to get a drag king ladyfriend to accompany me as trashy drunken Tony Stark! Brilliant!!!

[tragical-mirth.livejournal.com]

*twitch*

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

... in your pants?

I know there's one in mine!




... Sorry, all this Tony talk gets me acting all Starky...

[tragical-mirth.livejournal.com]

I am sure Tony would approve.

[nectarousness.livejournal.com]

I would totally buy that Harvey Dent LEGO playset, complete with broken spirit and surfacing anger.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

ahahahaha

I should just do a whole series of mundane, human moments from the novel in Lego form. Lego Awkward Reconciliation With Abusive Father! Lego Dinner With Gilda! Lego Representation of the Eternal Struggle Between Man's Natures As Expressed Through Harvey's Own Mental Illness And External Forces!

The new Harvey Dent action figure! Now with Broken Spirit and Action Angst!

[nectarousness.livejournal.com]

I love how the actual Harvey Dent action figure from the movie had a "COIN BLASTER." I honestly laughed for like an hour.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

I know, right? I actually couldn't bring myself to buy it. Even I have my limits!

... man, what was it that had a person shoot a shotgun loaded with pennies? I *know* I saw that somewhere!

[nectarousness.livejournal.com]

That sounds hecka familiar. Darn.

Great, now I'm starting to think of Meowth's coin attack in Pokemon.

[fiveseconddelay.livejournal.com]

Young Guns, and it was dimes.
"Best buck-eighty I ever spent!"

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Ha! That's the thing, I've never seen YOUNG GUNS! So wherever it was that I did see it might well have been "inspired" by YG!

"I should just do a whole series of mundane, human moments from the novel in Lego form. Lego Awkward Reconciliation With Abusive Father! Lego Dinner With Gilda! Lego Representation of the Eternal Struggle Between Man's Natures As Expressed Through Harvey's Own Mental Illness And External Forces!"


That would make for a good, and if nothing else amusing, second trailer for the book after the prologue excerpt you posted a few months back.

[tonks07.livejournal.com]

I think going as Stan's Iron Man cameo would be LOLtastic!

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

THANK you! Shee, and here I was thinking I was the only one.

Of course, now it's been put in mind that I need a hot drag king to by my drunken trashy Tony Stark, and I can't imagine doing this any other way...

Aquaman... you go talk to the fish... oh... crap...

[american-arcane.livejournal.com]

That's awesome. :)

Did you watch the season of Entourage where they were making the Aquaman movie? Done by James Cameron. Funny stuff... lots of Aquaman jokes.

But then, at the end of the season, they did just a two minute clip from the fictional film and... well... damned if I wouldn't pay to see the whole thing. :)

(Though I do still think Namor is much more of a bad ass... most of the time... even if he doesn't chuck polar bears at people...)

Re: Aquaman... you go talk to the fish... oh... crap...

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

I've heard a lot about the ENTOURAGE stuff, but have never seen it. I would damn well love to see AQUAMAN get the proper treatment, though. Hell, even in comics! Maybe we'll finally get it once he presumably comes back to life after being a Zombie Lantern.

Because yeah, Namor is undeniably badder-ass. But Aquaman is the Sea King I'd follow to the ends of the Earth. Of which, considering the vast majority of the Earth is underwater, makes Arthur pretty much the entire ruler. And ultimately, while Namor kicks fifteen kinds of ass and withering-snark abilities to boot, Aquaman has the awesome power of Not Being A Fucking Prick, so that helps.

[kosher-jenny.livejournal.com]

This seems like an appropriate post to drop a link to what is perhaps the single greatest custom toy ever painted.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

hahahahahahaha

[mellifluous-ink.livejournal.com]

It's always the lame guy. Always. That is why I give that guy candy, and ask him about his day. Because srsly, 75% of the world is covered in water, and we only know 1% of all the crazy that lives in the ocean--and if you've ever watched an ocean documentary, you know how crazy that shit is.

I think anyone who doesn't fear Aquaman's wrath needs to go study how fucking vicious the sea is, for a while. XD

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Seriously. You almost wouldn't NEED Cthulhu if more people were aware of what goes on under the surface tension. They recently tried to do an "Aquaman as Conan the Barbarian" series, which they didn't pull off that well and pissed it away. It's a shame, because man, it's still a brilliant take with tons of potential.

[mellifluous-ink.livejournal.com]

I mean, corals spit their guts all over each other and DIGEST EACH OTHER ALIVE to steal territory on a reef. And man, have you SEEN the creatures that live in the lightless depths? JAYSUS LORDY.

*knows way too much about the ocean*

I want someone with actual knowledge of the ocean to write an Aquaman comic. Seriously.

[disc-sophist.livejournal.com]

The Aquaman Cthulhu pic is printed and added to my collection the pics hanging over my desk. Makes me very very happy.

p.s. Alice? I'll bring my own teacup...

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

The plan is altered a weeny bit. Now I'm thinking brainwashed Batgirl... dressed as Alice. She still has the cowl.

[disc-sophist.livejournal.com]

Anything you like, sweetie. Of course I'll understand if you need someone more... batty. But I think i can handle it. ;)

[torberg.livejournal.com]

That Aquaman pic is outRAgeous!

[mandybling.livejournal.com]

Totally not related to this post in the least bit but hey, I have to put it some where. I found you through random pictures and your Alan Cumming' inspired pictures. From time to time I'll find an LJ writer I enjoy and read their stuff. So, I've read most of the stuff you've posted and I love it. Just thought I'd let you know.

I don't write on LJ often but here's my facebook and myspace

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Hey, thanks! It's nice when people actually let me know out of the blue when this happens! Well then, consider yourself doubly friended (MySpace is dead to me, ya hears?! DED!)!

[mandybling.livejournal.com]

I held out hope that myspace and I would be besties' forever and that facebook meant absolutely nothing to me (that filthy whore). But alas, I'm mostly on facebook now. Pleasure to meet El Hefe'.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

I'm doing the same thing with LJ, holding out and fighting to hang on. This place was doing what Twitter does for years, but with actual *content*! Or at least, way more room to POTENTIALLY have content! FOOLS!

Likewise, Der Blinger!
