This is Unseemly #2

Everyone and his sister has already linked to this profile of Paul Pope in the Wall Street Journal.
And I still agree with John Updike’s rule for critics: “Review the book, not the reputation.”
But man, I have to say this makes me wish I’d been a little harder on Heavy Liquid last month.
This does not reflect well on me, I know.

Yeah, weird timing, right?
“Foilage”
wait what?
I don’t know what “foilage” means, either, but if it’s meant to be a criticism of my post, it sounds about right.
Pope says “foliage” wrong in the video.
WOW THAT PAUL POPE SURE IS A PRETTY HIP GUY
Just to be fair though, the thing read like it was written by a “style” writer, or some kind of marketing hack.
It’s foliage not “foilage”. He says it twice in the video.
If Paul Pope says “foilage” I will too! He is soooo cute–in an edgy way! Loser guys say “foliage”. Sorry Tim.
I can’t work on my comics right now! My body temperature is too high!
“foilage” is when you have weed but nothing to smoke it with. Bust out the tin foil. Foilage.
I hadn’t watched that video until this morning, so I just thought that “foilage” was some newfangled slang for hater-ade or something.
You know, though, those WS Journal guys were kind of uncool not to let Pope know that wasn’t the correct pronunciation of foliage.
Review the reputation
Not the pronunciation
yeah we need some content around here.
