D for Defense #21

(Previously on DfD...)
I became known that in a webpage called Progressive Boink, forty of Rob!'s art pieces had been criticized under simplistic and squared standars. As an adlater it's my moral duty to unite my companions in their brave defense of the most brilliant genious ever.

Let's refute their points one by one. The first is:

Welcome to the 90s!  Guns, swords, and long hair.  Is it any wonder that it took so long for comic books to be a socially-acceptable artistic medium?  If Jack Kirby is the Thomas Edison of comics, Rob Liefeld is the Al Jolson.  Except I think Al Jolson could draw pretty well."

No, it's not any wonder because Rob! challenged in such a way the artistic conventions that it took a some years and all seasons from Lost for the mainstream to get remotely near His! vision. That's why the comparation makes no sense, while Jolson ended up receiving love from the great public, Rob! still hasn't.

Let's see the next paragraph:

I really cannot get over how enormous Rob tends to draw his male characters.  Really, they’re so over muscled and a stereotype of a stereotype that they just end up looking like weird wrinkly fatasses. All the pouches and half-shirts ain’t helpin either.

The error is very clear: Rob! in just a character is warning us against the dangers related with health and image. Obesity, vigorexia and anorexia (represented in the extreme slimness of the inferior half of his left leg) sometimes have psycological causes, shown on Shatterstars expression of unbearable suffering (maybe his name is yet
another clue about these social problems).

And, finally, there is the last paragraph:

If I had a nickel for every time Liefeld had his characters standing behind something so he didn’t have to draw their feet, I would still not have nearly as much money as Rob Liefeld.

Envy! Avarice! These, and not any others, are the real reasons behind Progressive Boink critism. Case closed.

(by Uriondo)

The writer of these series of the slanders we have been disecting during the last months wrote, using as an excuse the beautifull image we present above, this completetly infamy:

"
I will bet money that this picture was traced from child pornography.  I have never seen a drawing of lips make me feel as creepy as looking at this does".

In first place I want to stress that if you are a weirdo, you are a weirdo. Don't blame ROB!. In fact, ask for help. Others have done it, or at least they have the decency of undergoing chemical castration that keeps them away from those insane impulses. I would say that the defense of this image is the easiest of all that have already been published.

Having already defended the image I would also like to exalt the exaltation of innocence that our idol promotes. Far from falling into the the easy sexuality that surrounds our everyday, we suspect that ROB! has a clear, healthy and clean answer to the classic comic book question that has alredy been discussed for so long.

Exactly. That question.

And the answer from ROB! is: No! Jotace is wrong! It's just his sidekick!

Nobody doubt that the fight against child abuse is being spearheaded by ROB! as he clearly indicates our kids what they should answer to any stranger who try to divert them from their way to school: YOU AINT MY DADDY.

Turn away, young ones, from candy giving strangers and listen to the voice of ROB!

Follow the example of this kid and say YOU AINT MY DADDY to those men who stalk public places looking for easy prey.

But that is not the only answer. There are other, for more bold, that come from our most important cultural (spanish) heritage:
