Judyparka, that article doesn’t mention the thing I had in mind. In Edinburgh the Police Museum purportedly - I haven’t been, just heard of it from a tour guide - has on display a notebook bound with the skin of one of the murderers. The chief of police had it made for himself as a kind of trophy for catching them.
Whoops, I mean murrderrerrs.
As one who lived through World War II, and observed pictures of just such a series of horrible events, such as making lampshades and the like from the skin of Jewish prisoners, I find your so-called cartoon strip nauseating in the extreme, and totally insensitive to survivors of those attrocities. No, I’m not Jewish, but I feel for the families of those who died in those concentration camps. You’ve just joined the Amadinejab Club, in effect denying that the horrors ever happened. Congratulations, you just won the Insenstive Cruelty of the Month Award. And don’t bother to respond, anyone…I’ve just cut this pile of excrement from my list.
a very distrubing strip…perfectly made..the eye is looking right at me..scaring me to death.Make him go away.This is beyond comic.This is art.Quentin Tarantino in it’s voilence.Sexy everyday woman(hands cuffed???)Skin showing(internal lust???)She is dead,but fear grips me.I am next.Take it away replusion because it feels so real.Rob Zombie could not say so much with so little.This is art.An award winning comic.
Don’t ever do this to me again.Please Hi and Lois me(OK,I didn’t mean that)instead.
Umbrage has been taken.
‘Don’t bother to respond anyone’ is a bit dictatorial, isn’t it? I think you’re way over the top Bob. You’re entitled to your subjective response to the strip, but to then conclude that their creator is cruel and insenstive (sic) is not supported by the evidence. frog applause strips can have a dark side but those of us who frequent this channel know what TD is doing. She picks up human sensibilities and attitudes, as triggered by particular words and images, and gleefully bangs them together. The result can be weird, inexplicable, tragically beautiful, funny or even oddly bland. I, for one, do not hold anything against her for efforts, even why they are not to my particular taste. Artists must be allowed to create, and those who attempt to to bully them with bilgewater are, frankly - oops … Bobly - boorish. If you read this strip as a piece of anti-Jewish propaganda, may I suggest you go exercise your constitutional right not to be offended.
I don’t know of anybody called Amadinejab. Is it a stab in the arm from a scruffy bloke wearing an ill-fitting jacket? Oh, perhaps you be thinking (but not spelling) of Ahmadinejad? Who is not responsible for a single Jewish death as far as I know. His views on historical accounts of the massacres of Jews during WWII are, granted, considered controversial. But in Ahmadinejad’s own words during his address to Columbia University in September 2007, he said, “I’m not saying that it didn’t happen at all. This is not (the ?) judgment that I’m passing here.” That doesn’t sound like a denial to me. With regard to Jews in general, he said in an interview with the BBC, “Some people think if they accuse me of being anti-Jew they can solve the problem. No, I am not anti-Jew. I respect them very much.” And the reality is that Jews in Iran, despite their small number, are guaranteed representation in the parliament.
Life’s short Bob. And wonderful. And silly and chaotic. And tragedies do happen and we do need to deal with them. And we all have our dark side, and mine is frying breadfruit mercilessly in vats of oil until it screams “Eat me! Eat me!” And as much as I’m the softest soul to ever swing low from Sirius, sweet chariot of the heavens, I’m the last to wallow in oversensitivity. On on!

JackParsons: Style is one word for it. Here’s some of the stuff they found in Ed Gein’s house:
Human skulls mounted on the corner posts of his bed.
Skin fashioned as a lampshade, and also used to upholster a chair
Breasts used as cup holders
Human skullcaps, used as soupbowls
A human heart, in dispute, some say in a paper bag while some say in a saucepan.
A chandelier of severed penises
A scrotum doorknocker
A christmas tree adorned with testicles
Skin from the face of Mary Hogan a local tavern owner in a paper bag
A window shade pull made of human lips
A vest crafted from the skin of a womens torso
A belt made from several human nipples
Socks made from human flesh
A sheath made from human skin
A box of preserved vulvas that Gein admitted to wearing
An array of shrunken heads
