I feel like most people don't realize that the English language rests so much power on words taken by pop culture.
Even the word "ok" was originally used as a political term (in 1840 the democratic party called their president Martin Van Buren, who was from a place called Kinderhook, "Old Kinderhook" in some form of slogan in hopes of reelection).
Richard Dawkins coined the term "meme" in 1976 under the book the Selfish Gene. He used it to explain how "cultural ideas" so quickly catch fire amongst the masses, sounds a lot more like trends but it is what it is.
"Dingus" started catching on in the 1870s after an article released on a popular new game at the time. From there the word (that usually described unspecified objects) then started to describe foolish people.

I love that Jimmy Olsen is exactly the type of photographer Peter Parker pretends to be. Just bat-shit insane.
Whenever someone asks Peter how he took a picture he's like "Oh! I uh-, climmed a flagpole. Totally"
And very mortal, normal-human Jimmy is like "See, Clark, is not that weird"
I mean, look at this nutjob.

The world could be ending, lava on the streets and Jimmy would be out there photographing away. No powers, no sense of self preservation. Just khakis, a camera and a dream.
I like to imagine Peter meeting Jimmy and immediately being mortified about it.
Jimmy: –and so luckily I was able to take the picture before the building collapsed on me... Superman was super pissed at me but, photographer to photographer, it was totally worth it.
Peter: Right, no– See, this is actually my first time hearing how fucking insane that sounds. No wonder people at work look at me weird.

Father’s Day SLADE

Hi guys, as some of you know, I did some stories a couple of years ago centered around Slade and his family, I always have loved this part of his story that has never quite been explored that much in comics but i never quite found an audience or interest, maybe i was making everything too complex, maybe my skills weren’t there or my writing was poor or too hard to follow…idk.
Anyway, i never stopped thinking and wanting to draw more about them and just for this year’s father’s day i let myself go and I made this page. I dont think i will go back to do comics about them or at least not anytime soon but i would like to know if there’s more people out there who like this.
In any case. Thank you 🖤🧡
