What did he mean by this?

>>88228424
It means this guy wants to learn how intertia works and why it's best not to mess with cabbies who just want to be nice.

He didn't even let the guy finish. What a pompous prat.

>I am very superior to this buffoonish prole who serves me
Charming fellow.

>"Modern Liberalism, the character, the comic"..

smug superiority without any merit, cause, or proof.

It's one thing to shit on superheroes or call them kiddie garbage. But "patriotism?" And "religion?" That's just being a prick.

Goddamn, it's impressive how quickly you can come to hate the bearded dude.

And don't tell me, you're supposed to be on his side, right?

He's browbeating the guy for indulging in hero worship, treating superhero stories seriously. He's being an asshole of course, the book's humor is derived from how much of an asshole he is to the unsuspecting (undeserving?) people he meets.

Taxi drivers are single-serving people most of the time, so you can really be yourself around them and fuck with them and be annoying and funny like you wouldn't with people nearby you, and they have to endure it to get paid and they'll put up with your shit for a little while if they never have to see you again.

>>88229433
well, thats why you just beat the shit out of him.

its his fault really, there isn't any other winning retort.

>>88229433
That's the point, he hates his life and needs a fight he can win or at the very least feels like he matters

>>88229386
Wilson is pretty intentionally detestable. I don't think he's a Clowes mouthpiece at all, but I think they probably do share some opinions.

>>88229422
>annoying
Sure
>Funny
Not nearly as you think.

>>88229389
>No one likes thier job.
I like my job. It can suck sometimes but on the whole I really like what I do for a living.

>>88229386
Neither.

He's a character. He has a personality. He has positive and negative traits.

Good characters aren't representative of one particular idea or perspective. Real people are complex and often have conflicting viewpoints, and good characters reflect that.

It's sad that we're so used to single page strips like this being used solely to either push the author's perspective, ostracize another perspective, or both that we are confused when one does neither.

>>88228424
Having read similar statements from Clowes himself, It means that Dan Clowes is aware he's a pretentious loudmouth who looks down on the plebes, but he cant help himself so he channels it though Wilson.

>>88229571
I suppose if you like sucking cock you might as well get paid for it. That's what made your mom so successful.

>>88229599
It's not that i don't understand the character it's that nothing about the character is entertaining or engaging enough to make me want to read further.

>>88228424
He means that he's objectively better than people who like things that he dislikes He's wrong

>>88229705
It's one book. You can't understand the character if you haven't actually read it.

>>88229443
>I get it if it's not your cup of tea but you scream of insecurities if you have to think your way is the "right" one.
This, any person I meet irl that takes that attitude usually is just upset because he wants the life a good job brings but hates the idea of it so he has to demonize anyone that enjoys their work life and what it brings because they become envious of what they have.

>>88229571
I think it's more that nobody really wants to be forced to work for a living. If you could do the parts of your job you enjoy on your own time then yeah, you'll enjoy it, but being forced to go in every day and deal with whatever bullshit might come up can be not fun. Nobody enjoys 100% of whatever their job is, unless they get paid to get blowjobs whenever they want.

>>88229483
>>88229646
Wilson is Clowes' biggest fear: Clowes fears that, one day, Clowes will become Wilson.

It's just like in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, when Luke's biggest fear was that Luke was becoming like Darth Vader.

P.S.
Star Wars is for kids, not adults. Just like Batman.

>Screaming and making death threats
>Drives at 90 mph on city streets
>Runs every red light

>Eats some kind of smelly roast-beef while screaming
>The steering wheel is covered in grease
>Once he's in my neighborhood, he drives around the block really fast because he doesn't want to stop driving because he wants to drive and scream at the same time
>Ask him to let me out
>He lets me out, I pay
>He offers me some smelly roast-beef

I'm giving advice, I'm making okay enough money, I clock in doing pointless work and then eight hours later I clock out. It took 6 years of school but I have my debt paid off and I don't need to worry about getting laid off because it's always hiring because no one wants or thinks about the job. I have money and free time to do pointless work and call it a hobby to pass time.

Thirty years from now I'll retire and spend the rest of my days with nothing but time and not having to deal with the shit people who do thier hobby for a job have to deal with.

>>88229652

>>88230154
Why work hard if just doing work is enough? You're not solving cancer or doing anything important, most jobs are completly perfunctory and could disappear from the face of the earth and no one would miss it. You don't need to like your job to get what people would call a good life, you just need to do it and not be terrible at it.

His summation in the second to last panel is entirely wrong at least regarding the Dark Knight. I don't see how does it endorse the idea of America being the best country, and surely has nothing to do with religion too. And even casuals know that Batman doesn't have superpowers.

>>88229386
Obviously the second.

He's a bloody cunt mate. The point of the comic is that he's THAT guy and you want to see him get destroyed by someone else.

>>88237991
He's not saying that the Dark Knight has anything involving religion or politics. He's comparing superhero worship to patriotic worship and religious worship. It's one page, you could at least make an effort to read it.

Saying Batman or Iron Man don't have superpowers is hairsplitting; they're still "superheroes" and can be subject to the kind of veneration Mr. Prick describes.

>>88229298
Welcome to Clowes.

>>88229386

>>88229776
I thought he was Wilson just from reading 8 ball. His sork all nas the stink of adolescent "I'm the only one who sees it!" revelation.

>>88228424
His argument makes little sense.
He assumes it's for kids cause it is about a superhero?
I mean that is just ass-backwards thinking, especially for someone who made a comic.

I have read a lot of the major indie/underground guys: Ware, Brown, Matt, Seth, ect. Crumb, Pekar and Hanselmen are the only ones I've actually enjoyed.

>>88238585
I think the specificity of The Dark Knight is a red herring; he's wrong to make judgements about it when he clearly knows nothing about it.

But that doesn't mean his assessment of the superhero genre might not have merit.

>>88228424

Time is allowed to pass.

>>88238529
I think it kind of seeps into all his work. I never get the Clowes love, LaVGCiI is great but he's a one hit wonder, and for some reason comics criticism works in a way that if you're good once you're never bad again
