Summary: The cinnamon bun is gone in four bites. Four indecent, jaw-unhinging bites, and Steve sucks the last traces of lemon and icing from his fingers with a low, throaty sound of satisfaction. He glances up at Bucky, who is leaning against the counter and watching him with avid fascination.

“Um…” Steve says around his index finger. There’s still a little icing on the bed of his fingernail, and he stops trying to work it off with his tongue.

“You know those movies where the girl eats an eclair or something, and it’s really, like, sexually charged?” Bucky asks.

Steve pulls his finger out of his mouth. He’s never seen that kind of movie, but the thought of Bucky eating an eclair is certainly… well, it lingers. “Uh?”

“Yeah, well that was the exact opposite.” Steve scowls, and Bucky cackles gleefully. “You are something else, Steve.”​

Two years ago, former Marvel Comics bullpen member Steve Bunche posted a comics try-out page submitted to Marvel in the 1990s by an unknown hopeful. The page, while lacking in polish and technique, nevertheless had very clear storytelling, and, as Bunche notes in his blog post: “While this guy would never have gotten work in a professional comic as a penciller, I have to admire his talent for creating an instant classic of a non sequitor:”

artist unknown

You are not imagining this. Wolverine stalks through the wilderness, searching for we know not what, and finds the late Freddie Mercury, frontman of the band Queen.

The page has since been rattling around on the Internet, occasionally reposted and retweeted, chuckled over and admired by people like my studiomate Jeff Parker, which is how I originally became aware of it. And it just kind of got stuck in my head. For TWO YEARS.

The story as presented raises a number of questions. What is Wolverine looking for? Agents of AIM? Peace and solitude? Or, as my other studiomate Memorial artist Rich Ellis suggested: is he looking to find Somebody To Love?

And how and why does Freddie Mercury appear at the end of his search? Was his tragically fatal illness miraculously cured, perhaps by an alien symbiote? Has he just returned from sailing the Seven Seas of Rhye? Or more simply and perhaps most logically, has Logan found himself in the presence of the wordly manifestation of a literal God of Rock?

And so, I have decided to explore these mysteries by recreating the original story, correcting some of the technical blunders on the way. I invite other artists to do the same, by which exercise we may one day come close to the fictional Truth of the matter.

I am reblogging both to further signal boost this brilliant piece by my studiomate, Colleen Coover, and also make sure you don’t miss that final line at the end of her commentary:

I invite other artists to do the same, by which exercise we may one day come close to the fictional Truth of the matter.

You guys, Colleen fricking Coover is inviting you all to re-draw that original page of Wolverine discovering Freddie Mercury by an unknown artist.

She is starting a movement.

Will you answer her call?

Heed the call of Wolverine and Freddy Mercury.

And before anyone makes any 4/20 weed comments, the date is the anniversary of the Columbine massacre. 

Damn straight.

Fuck, I’ll host GED classes in the damn library if it keeps kids safe. I’ll share what skill with words I have, what life experience I have, and make sure that the kids in my community come home safe and stay that way.

Remember kids: Student walk-outs and sit-in protests are incredibly effective, because it means that the system is breaking down. Their authority only goes as far as you let it.

Don’t bring weapons to protests.

Don’t bring mace or tear gas to protests.

Get bottled water, at least six bottles per person for four hours.

Pack a first aid kit. Ace bandages, band-aids, water, dried gatorade (a scoop in a bottle of water helps prevent heat stroke due to dehydration), and sunscreen.

Keep emergency contacts on all cell phones, and if possible appoint someone in the group to be the designated emergency contact caller. Their job, if shit goes south, is to run to safety and call parents, call friends, call help, not just the police.

Don’t be afraid of Juvie. Your record is expunged at 18, if the crime isn’t something like murder.

The public school system cannot function without students attending, this is a supremely effective strategy.

Keep up with and take food to those who rely on free and reduced lunches. Find a homeschool co-op or go attend classes at those online k-12 things. If you’re old enough to drive now is the time to start carpooling.

just a reminder that this is also to teachers. this is circulating in my program. that teachers are just as much a part of this creation for a walkout, too. because no teacher should have to go to work thinking they’re going to die alongside their students because congress refuses to do anything. 

teachers: walk out. for your students. for yourselves. walk out. 

Communities: Support the FUCK out of these kids and their teachers.

I was in sixth grade when the Oklahoma City bombing took place.  Tiny little babies died; measures were taken to prevent anything like that from happening again.  Our government promised us that we were safe, and demonstrated it by making it SO hard for something like that to ever happen again.

I was in the seventh grade when the Port Arthur massacre happened.  We were assured that we were safe.  I remember hearing about the shooting, but it was on the other side of the world; surely it would never happen here, and certainly not in a school.  We were safe.  But I remember listening to all of the talk about the second amendment and feeling very, very uneasy at how much guns were being defended rather than people.  

I was a freshman in high school the year of Columbine.  I remember being so afraid.  The whole world had changed in the blink of an eye.  The schools didn’t know what to do to keep us safe, but we were assured everything possible was going to be done.  We were sure our government would keep us safe.

Nothing changed.

I expected it to- after all, after the Oklahoma City bombing, SO MUCH was done to prevent another incident like that from EVER happening again.  You couldn’t buy the ingredients for such a bomb easily anymore.  Posts were installed in front of important buildings to prevent people from driving into them.  Steps were taken.

But nothing changed on the gun front.  The arguments continued and guns continued to have more rights than people.

I was a senior when the towers fell.  THIS time, changes would happen to keep us safe- if our country was attacked from the outside, surely the government would move heaven and earth to keep their kids safe, right?

Overnight, changes took place.  The TSA became A Big Thing.  You couldn’t take sharp items onto planes.  All kinds of things were confiscated.  There were x-ray machines for our belongings, x-ray machines for our bodies, x-ray wands to check if the machine went off, your belongings were searched if something looked sketchy.  You couldn’t have too much TOOTHPASTE anymore in the event that it might be an explosive.  We had to take off our shoes because someone made a bomb out of a shoe.

And STILL guns had more rights than people.  Nothing in that corner EVER changed.

I remember being terrified during tornado and fire drills, and kids in other parts of the country had other kinds of drills, I’m sure, for earthquakes, or other natural disasters.  The kids during/after WWII and the cold war had atomic bomb drills. Kids were trained to do these things because these are things completely out of our control- if bombs rained down on us, it was from outside of our country.  If a tornado ripped through my town, it was an act of god, not something we could prevent.

Active shooters are pretty preventable, as evidenced by Australia- they’ve NEVER had another gun massacre,  in 22 YEARS, because they fixed it then and there, while gun control measures went round and round in endless circles in America, never changing.

An entire GENERATION of kids have been forced to learn lockdown procedures and have active shooter drills, because our government has done NOTHING.  Guns STILL have more rights than people- more now than when I was little, it seems.

Walk out.  Communities, come together to support our kids and our teachers. They don’t deserve to die.

GUNS SHOULD NOT HAVE MORE RIGHTS THAN PEOPLE

National School Walkout’s twitter and change.org petition.

Adults, please support these brave young people and their teachers in whatever way you can.

And if your high school administration threatens to suspend you, or otherwise harm your chances at getting into a good school with this on your record, be aware that colleges are standing up and going on record to say that participation in peaceful social protest such as this will NOT negatively affect applications or admissions.

“In addition to Yale, more than 40 universities, including Brown, Dartmouth and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), have issued statements supporting prospective scholars who may heed the calls of the Parkland survivors and risk school disciplinary action by joining protests.“

Okay. As a parent of a disabled child, please make sure their parents have an inkling of the days these are happening since I’ve seen several dates floating around now.

Reach out to the parents or their teacher to see if they’re participating. I know my son, if he sees students get up in large groups, even though he doesn’t entirely understand what is happening, he will follow the group. And if a teacher doesn’t stop him and he slips out, he hasn’t the capacity to get home alone. But his disabilities are all invisible, so passerbys won’t know he perhaps needs help.

If I have dates and the days timetable, I can arrange someone to pick him up in solidarity.

Just something to keep in mind as plans are made.
