Flogging a Dead Horse

Comic Book writer, Paul Jenkins, does a semi-regular column called "Flogging a Dead Horse" that showcases his creativity as well as highlights his insanity.

I found his latest missive absolutely hilarious. You don't have to understand comics at all; although, if you do, it certainly enhances the experience (especially if you decide to listen to the song his little group created).

The background: Marvel Editor-in-Chief, Joe Quesada, creates and performs with his band a little song every year around Christmas that pokes fun at the industry. It's all a lark and certainly not of professional caliber (although, with computers these day, anyone can do a competant job-- how else can you explain Jessica Simspon's singing success?).

Anyway, Jenkins decided to poke fun at his boss and get a group of people together who were willing to poke fun at themselves as well, and make a little song to put the Marvel one to shame.

Here's the link, and, like I said, even if you don't listen to the song, Jenkins' set-up and picture captions are well-worth checking out.
