Bloggers Speak: Adam B from ‘Comics Make No Sense’
Written by Chris C on January 14th, 2008
Welcome to another edition of Bloggers Speak where Angry Seafood usually interviews the authors of the blogs on humor-blogs.com. This time around we turn our attention to someone who isn’t on the HB directory but should be (hint, hint), Adam B. from the humor blog ‘Comics Make No Sense’.
Chris: Welcome to the feature Adam. How are you doing?
Adam B: Why, what have you heard? Have you been listening to the voices in my head?
C: Perhaps. So, what is the most ridiculous premise or plotline in a comic you have made fun of on your blog?
A: To get into Comics Make No Sense, you’ve got to be pretty stupid to begin with, so you’re asking about the lame of the lame here. I’d say my favorite entry was a Superboy panel where he said he had a queer feeling after taking so many blows. It’s totally filthy, and hardly any of my readers batted an eye. My readers are pretty sick puppies. I don’t feel very safe around them, to tell you the truth.
I spent the first year picking on the two dumbest super-teams ever, the Justice League. They were both painfully bad, but for totally different reasons. The FF, for the first two hundred issues, reads like a bad soap opera. The Detroit-era JLA tried to be hip to the times, but unfortunately, those times were the eighties. They bet on the wrong horse there.
Who do I think was more useless, Sue or Vibe? How can you ask me to make such a choice? Do I look like Meryl Streep to you?
C: Definitely not Adam. Many people wonder whether the Clintons took things that did not belong to them from the White House when they left office. Your thoughts.
A: Well, when they left, peace and a stable economy seem to have left with him. I miss the days when I could end the day watching people freak out over who Clinton may have diddled instead of a daily account of casualties in Iraq. I can’t believe the country was stupid enough to elect Bush again. Well, he didn’t really win in 2000, but you know what I mean. Were people *that* intimidated by gay marriage?
C: Speaking of the slang definition for gay meaning dumb, which comic book character sucks worse, Shamrock or Arcade?
A: I’ve always had a soft spot for Arcade, actually. I groove on the whole idea of a homicide-based theme park. I mean, one that’s deadly on purpose, and not just because the guy who assembles the rides was tightening screws in between bong hits.
Shamrock…. wow, is she obnoxious. It’s bad enough that her super-power is luck, but does she have to be so damn smug about it? It wouldn’t surprise me a bit to find out she’s really French.
C: How did you celebrate Feast of Fabulous Wild Men Day this past January 12th?
A: I was at a Chinese buffet until the owners told me to leave. “You eat enough! You go now!”
C: Who do you think is the least-funny US presidential candidate and why?
A: I think the last person who should be President is someone dumb enough to want to be President. Matter-Eater Lad’s home planet had the right idea, and we ought to just draft our public servants. That being said, I think Huckabee is the kind of guy who would pretend he doesn’t get your jokes, even if he does. Don’t you hate people who do that?
C: There is blue stuff coming out my butt? What do I do?
A: It sounds like things are happening on their own just fine. If you must do something, I recommend you just be yourself.
C: Great taste or less filling?
A: You can’t get around something tasting bad, so great taste. If something is too filling…. well, that’s what purging and laxatives are for.
C: Who is more helpful, Aquaman or Batman?
A: Aquaman is probably the lesser of the evils. I mean, Batman would constantly remind me how much smarter he is than I am, and who needs that? If Aquaman started getting all lippy on me, I could always tell him, “Hey, don’t you have to run back into the ocean or something? It’s been almost an hour.” *That* would shut him up. Yeah, give me Aquaman.
C: Thanks a lot for taking the time to do this interview Adam. Any parting thoughts?
A: I’m pretty sure I had my wallet when I came in here…..
(Editor’s note: ummmm)
Adam’s question for the readers: What was so great about Watchmen? I don’t get it!

Nice interview, Chris. Yeah, I agree Adam should go ahead and sign up over at humor-blogs, though since his blog already attracts a fair amount of attention, it would just be one more blog rated above mine.
Do you want me to copy Adam’s license for you also, or just his social security card?

I have no idea about Watchmen but I wonder if The Tick was partly a parody of this series.
@Frogster: We have his soc, we don’t need anything else :)
