All true, y'say? My God. The horror. The fucking horror.

This thread confuses me. Especially the bits about Warren Ellis.

I'm confused too. Was the email for real, or was it someone playing the old hide-the-header trick? If it was real, why would Grant Morrison care what's said about him on a messageboard?

Apparently so.

If it was real, why would Grant Morrison care what's said about him on a messageboard?

Fucked if I know. Perhaps he'd just had a shitty day and was feeling narky, and, being too much of an animal lover to kick a small dog, decided to fuck with a fanboy instead.

Whatever. I'm not losing any sleep over it.

Maybe he was "hepped up on goofballs".

That photostory is fantastic.

That's nothing. Grant Morrison came round to my house and offered to wash my windows.

That was just after Zenith Phase 4. I believe he was 'between jobs'.

From the disinfo.com interview with Grant at the end of last year:

Interviewer: It's interesting there definitely seems to be a contingent of people, on
the bulletin boards or whatever, kind of a follower contingent . . .

GM: Yeah, and it's sad because they really want the thing to be explained,
and they're so angry when I don't, and these guys… you know, I've seen
the boards, I've been on there a couple of times, and I just think it's kind of
sad. I mean, there are people on there who get everything I'm doing, it's
quite obvious to them, and those are the people that I want to talk to, those
are the guys who were in the same space. And other people just don't
grasp it, they think it's something else, who missed the point, and that's
fine, but they shouldn't be looking to me to provide an explanation to their
dilemma.

who are these people that are asking Grant to explain anything? I can't say I've ever seen that here....

mind you, I've only been around six months...

There aren't any here. I remember reading that quote and thinking: 'that's not Barbelith.' The 'lithers that don't dig on The Invisibles have perfectly good reasons, and there's a pretty high standard of interpretation here, also. If Grant is referring to the posters on this site...well....he's just not reading very closely and taking things a little too personally.

(That said, I do think some poster's criticisms of vol 3 miss the point a bit.)

Dear Grant Morrison,

I am one of the fans who really need The Invisibles explained to him. I have taken the drugs. I read the series on acid. Please sir... What the fuck is going on?

Yes, pity me.

Your Biggest Fan,
Drugs Bunny

It was probably my fault. I did and do think that volume 3 is mostly pants and I don't think it's Grant's best work.%But if it's necessary for him to picture me as a dribbling retard that's fine with me.%

That's ok. I picture Grant naked, shaved, and wrapped in thick plastic wrap from head to toe to keep the cooling gel against his skin....

You reckon we can keep this thread going until the next time he updates his website?

Grant, if you are reading this, could you explain the appeal of the Mall of America? I understand your comics, but I don't understand that.

Is it even updated again by now???
