The Comics Journal message board addresses Frank Miller’s recent appearance on NPR with something approaching… horror:
“Miller sounds terrible. Like he’s got some kind of trembling disease or something… I suppose I’d be more sad about this if I ever regarded Miller as any kind of thinker. I’ve liked him because he once knew how to rack up some really good adventure stories. His most political comic is Martha frikkin’ Washington, and that’s totally retrograde.”
“Frank Miller is a complete douche, a shameless whore, and has a complete shit to good work ratio of about 10:1 over the course of his career. I was at the Harveys in Pgh a few years ago when he tore up that copy of Wizard, and it was one of the most embarrassing, unintentionally hilarious things I’ve ever seen. I loved YEAR ONE, though.”
“I heard him and was shocked at the fact that he was saying this sort of thing, not in the bar with a bunch of other white guys, but in front of possibly a million people.”
“i think writing and drawing comics has addled homeboy’s brain, i really do. i think he can probably only think now in big, corny, operatic, caption-like thoughts, now. it’s a sickness funnybook folks are prone to”
Luckily, some other people have much more sensible, non comic-book suggestions to end world wars:
“Look, can’t we just swap babies with the enemy like they did in New Gods?”

Miller’s spelled with an R? :p
He was a tool. Says Iraq declared war on us. Says the Ay-Rabs could never have developed a plane and “genetically mutate” their women…
