DC Comics announces Harley Quinn Fartacular: Silent Butt Deadly - Yes, this is a real comic.

[WelperHelper99]

I imagine it costs more to print that, so what, is it going to be $10-15 for an issue? Oh, it's only $6, $7 for the variant, how reasonable.

Yes. Hense collectors WILL BUY IT. It's different than the average comic, so yes the hard-core collectors will buy this for their retirement portfolios.

And people keep telling me to try reading some newer western comics instead of the japanese trash I have been consuming and well I think it's safe to say both are way too degenerate and I should just go back to reading the Bible.

It's so fucking obvious how many writers of these kids comics and shows have disgusting fetishes they feel the need to put in their media. Read this and try not to gag.

Have the Japs who make fetish hentai manga ever come close to doing something as unhinged as the "scratch and sniff" interactive page shit?, the Cartoon Industry thread and overall behavior and lolcows behind the Western comic book and animation industry are proofs that they are becoming even more degenerate and mentally retarded as the anime and manga industry is (not counting the loli shit on the latter).

At least niche fetish hentai is sold only at doujin conventions/porn shops, and is not officially published as a flagship publication by Shonen Jump.

 

[Fatsuit Shinji]

Who on this planet would be interested in buying this aside from those who intend on reading it one-handed?

Indie comics* have been running on that particular business model since the early 80ies. Marvel and DC were way more subtle about it as their primary buyers included the underage demographic.

Edit: *The mature and adult only indie comics not the general audience indie comics.

Spoiler: Real content.

Real cartoon character.

Real videogame promos.

These industries have become glorified, multimillion-dollar trash heaps.

Oh boy why is manga outselling American comics?

It's not like you can't pick up a peeing fetish manga. The difference is that manga (now competing with manhwa and manhua) is a vast market that can cater to everyone, while the North American comic book direct market is shrunken, allergic to the primary demographic, and filled with lunatics churning out too many unsellable books for nobody. For all we know, this scratch-and-sniff fart fetish one shot will be a lot more successful than the zillionth comic about ugly lesbians.

It's not like you can't pick up a peeing fetish manga.

It’s not like they are publishing a official sailor moon piss fetish manga endorsed by the corporation with full marketing support.

I don't want to know how they are going to capture the smells for the scratch and sniff pages.

I remember when this was just a /co/ shitpost that we all used to laugh at.

View attachment 6775322

"Hey /co/, I gotta fart SUPER bad!!" is now canon and I don't know what to think.

I was perfectly happy to have forgotten this.

I, for one, can't wait for both the comics industry and the video game industry to fucking crash again, I think we're about due for a cull

This but civilization in its entirety.

 

[Kari Kamiya]

Comics barely disguising the artist's fetish are a dime a dozen, but this feels blatant in the worst way.
Also because it's farts ffs

Is this the same woman who runs a fart-themed podcast that the PPG 2016 writers and Buttercup VA guest-starred on?

EDIT: For context:

Was going to say, he's probably referring to this joke storyboard made by the actual animators and writers that was confiscated eventually, but now I'm not so sure anymore.

Probably is nothing in the long-run, but this thing Jake retweeted

leads to... some kind of fart jokes podcast? I don't know what it is, exactly, but it has the Powerpuff Girls, and... uh...

Attempting to download the (free) 40-minute audio that's listed as "explicit".

EDIT: Goddammit, all of those fart stock effects in the intro... Also Jake hums the PPG battle theme. It's just as annoying as you expect.

EDIT 2: Only three-and-a-half minutes in, and it's full of autism, holy shit.

EDIT 3: What the fuck am I listening to. They're just all making up their own fart sound effects and I have no idea what the scenario is supposed to be. They mentioned this... eighth-grade science teacher came to the classroom alone, but I have no idea what's going on. (Also, the guests all sucked at making fart sounds, the host said "They don't speak to me.")

And now that I look at it, this may be a separate lady with a fart fetish. Unreal.

 

[Lone Star]

I don't think I've seen a comic book character have such a drastic fall from grace as Harley Quinn.

 

[SnergenFlergen]

Indie comics have been running on that particular business model since the early 80ies. Marvel and DC were way more subtle about it as their primary buyers included the underage demographic.

I'll take your word for it. Surely though this has to be one of the more blatant examples of fetishistic pornography in mainstream comics? I can honestly think of no other reason why a comic would be centered around farts for a non-degenerate reason. The closest point of reference I have is Johnny Fartpants in Viz (one for my fellow Bong kiwis), which was clearly just intended as puerile absurdism and nothing more. Nobody is jacking it to Johnny Fartpants but I'm sure as fuck that some people will be to this. It's grotesque.

 

[Philly Phunk Machine]

I want to be upset but DC being retarded is as common as the sun rising in the east. At least it's a change of pace from "make X character black and/or gay."

 

[grump]

Comics continue their years long inability to understand that Harley became popular for the hot cutesie waifu girl in distress that got fat male nerds steamed up that she originally was. Not the angry lesbian self insert they've been trying to ram down our throats. And definitely not some weird female centered potty humor experiment.

 

[Dave.]

I'm old enough to remember when comic books were supposed to teach chivalry and encourage boys and girls of a young age to be a hero and save lives even if they're not super like the guys in the comic book they read about. Nowadays it's lesbians who gave up on men for angsty reasons projecting through their writing how much they hate the world they live in and things like... this. What the fuck happened?

 

[BullfrogBill]

This is the most disheartening news I've ever heard regarding DC Comics. I used to be a long time DC reader but I had stopped reading entirely around the time they did Future State. Sometimes I miss picking up a stack of comics on Wednesdays though and looked through what the new books are and see this Harley Quinn fart fetish book coming out. I genuinely feel sad seeing this book because this company is now beyond redemption in any way, there's no coming back from publishing fart porn. It's so fucking over.

 

[Random Internet Person]

I know that the DC approach is to just have it where Harley Quinn has a style of humor that’s just “Deadpool without the fourth wall breaking”, but I doubt even Deadpool would have a story this on its face moronic. Hell, a lot of Deadpool seems to be how there’s more going on than irreverent humor.

Meanwhile, I have to wonder if anybody knows of Harley being a psychiatrist who got closer to killing Batman than the Joker ever did, because all that gets promoted is Harley being Poison Ivy’s girlfriend. And now farts.

 

[Candidae]

Harley's been fucked since the new52 in my stubborn old comic fan opinion. She's a former psychologist and an abuse victim completely infatuated with her abuser and that's just straight up a fascinating origin for a character. Nothing could have topped her Mad Love origin story, but nothing could have prepared me for the new origin where she was essentially created by the Joker who was tossing women into the acid that burned him until he created a Harley. Both totally misunderstanding the point of the Killing Joke (the acid didn't literally turn him insane also more evidence of the new52 being a bitchmade "reboot" that pussied out of actually deleting everything prior) and also ruining her origin just for the "shock" moment where Harley discovers the evidence of the other Harleys. Oh also this stupid design change which was also my introduction to the new52 cause they shoved the Suicide Squad comics down your throat during the reboot marketing.
I mean fair enough this looks cool, but this isn't Harley and she hasn't been Harley since this damn reboot. Considering Harley came out in the 90s and didn't get as much comic time until recently, she probably unfortunately has more content of her new character than the og. Now sure, this change has been canon since 2011 so maybe by now they've written some decent stuff with her, but whenever I encounter any DC bullshit, practically every issue can be traced to their new52 reboot so I doubt it

a psychiatrist who got closer to killing Batman than the Joker ever did

That story is no longer canon and unfortunately what I've seen doesn't indicate modern Harley could ever come close to the cunning she had in the original children's cartoon. Unless there are any new52/rebirth comic readers who can correct me. It's been long enough some people on this site might have grown up with that era of DC (the poor kids)
