Oh, fucking hell. I posted to the middle of the story instead of the beginning (any chance matt could fix it?). Here's the correct link. posted by Tlogmer at 12:04 PM on December 9, 2005
It's a good read from any starting point... posted by adamms222 at 12:14 PM on December 9, 2005
This is hilarious. There's a lot of other good stuff on Jay Pinkerton's site, like these Spiderman strips. (Probably NSFW.) posted by brain_drain at 12:18 PM on December 9, 2005
At first I thought that they were simply re-captioned orginals, but clearly he's put in a lot more effort than that.
If only the new movie is this good. posted by Four Flavors at 12:36 PM on December 9, 2005
His augmented and remixed trailer storyboards for Lost In Translation ("this summer, get translated!") had me hurtin'. posted by lodurr at 12:46 PM on December 9, 2005
Very, very funny. Thanks.
THERE'S NO CURE FOR THAT! THEY'RE JUST TAUNTING ME CRUELLY! posted by languagehat at 1:08 PM on December 9, 2005
whoah, it's original art? i thought they were re-captioned originals as well. reminds me of David Rees' cartoons (which I shall not link to lest I risk immediate revokation of my MeFi account) posted by adamms222 at 1:09 PM on December 9, 2005
Excellent. Read like 70's era National Lampoon! posted by sourwookie at 1:14 PM on December 9, 2005
I don't think it's original art, but it is original in that there's been some extensive editing/remixing of existing art.
Agreed -- very funny stuff! posted by Robot Johnny at 1:15 PM on December 9, 2005
Nice leotard, Sally. posted by Smedleyman at 1:31 PM on December 9, 2005
This is great stuff. I also enjoyed seeing the Fantastic 4 go see their movie. posted by NoMich at 1:35 PM on December 9, 2005
That was awesome. posted by GriffX at 1:36 PM on December 9, 2005
I say we take off and nuke Smallville from orbit. It's the only way to be sure. posted by anthill at 1:37 PM on December 9, 2005

Terrific rewrite, but if the art is still under copyright it'll probably get a cease and desist notice and be forced offline. Even if the art is "original", the brand is already owned. Enjoy it while it lasts! posted by After the Jump at 2:38 PM on December 9, 2005
Really funny, thanks. posted by interrobang at 4:05 PM on December 9, 2005
Psst! There's also a Batman origin story on this site, which is also hilarious. posted by kosher_jenny at 4:06 PM on December 9, 2005
(Especially since I wasted spent about four hours at this site last night.) posted by interrobang at 4:06 PM on December 9, 2005
The art isn't original, at least most of it isn't. Comparethese.
The pictures of Superboy and Luthor in the lab are identical. posted by interrobang at 4:11 PM on December 9, 2005
Way better than the original telling. posted by fenriq at 4:53 PM on December 9, 2005
There's some Jack Kirby in there too. posted by Alvy Ampersand at 5:14 PM on December 9, 2005
Superman is a dick. posted by EarBucket at 5:44 PM on December 9, 2005
That was great. Thanks! posted by graventy at 7:32 PM on December 9, 2005
I came for the Superman, and stayed for the Spider-Man! Even funnier. posted by grouse at 1:08 AM on December 10, 2005
Marked it as a double earlier. I thought it was an FPP. Found the comment here. posted by Eideteker at 2:04 AM on December 10, 2005
For chrissakes, don't mark things as doubles unless you have proof. Otherwise you're just being a dick. posted by languagehat at 6:01 AM on December 10, 2005
For real, not cool.
I wonder if he hand-letters all the new text, or if there is actually a good version of comic sans floating around out there. posted by dgaicun at 10:02 AM on December 10, 2005
Ok, but I posted the proof. Or is linking to multiple separate parts of that site not a double? Especially when that content has been pointed out before? I'm not being nasty; I'm asking. But I flagged it, so it's up to Matt to decide if it constitutes a double. It's a double in my subjective reality, at least. posted by Eideteker at 11:45 AM on December 10, 2005
Ah, you misunderstand the rule then. Double posts are only about posts; it's OK to post something that's just been in a comment. posted by languagehat at 11:50 AM on December 10, 2005
Alright. Sorry about the confusion. I wouldn't have flagged it unless I was 100% sure I saw it on MeFi. I thought that since the domain had already been linked it was off limits. Thanks for the clarification. Obviously, people liked the FPP, so no harm; no foul. posted by Eideteker at 4:09 PM on December 10, 2005
