Each brand new day is another opportunity for John Byrne to be a crazy asshole.
Found via CBR's Lying in the Gutters.
Over at the Byrne boards, member John Wyatt makes a post in their One More Day thread.
"I have all sorts of new comments to make about the past page of comments on this thread...but right now I just don't have them in me.
Right now I want to make a comment about those that are saying how terrible that Peter would make a deal of any kind with Mephisto, even for Aunt May's life.
At 6:20 this morning I got a phone call. A bad one that I have been waiting for. My mother passed today.
I wish Mephisto would show up in real life. I am just some guy. I always looked at the charachter of Peter Parker much the same way. I really do understand right now what someone would do to have just One More Day. So I DO understand that part of the story."
People express their sympathies until Byrne shows up with: "No. Sorry, but no. I fully appreciate how much "trouble" I will get into for this, but no. I cannot let this pass without comment.
Using the only hours past death of your own mother to make a point about a comicbook story?
There are not sufficient words in the English language to properly express my disgust."
And they're off with recollections of past internet psuecides, questions of getting the devil to revive your dead family members, and if Byrne was rude. A fan warns Byrne that his comment may affect the sales of a new work he has coming out, and then it's time for, "Is Byrne just off his rocker or off his rocker and a bad writer?" Byrne submits many lovely example of crazy, constructed like mental magnetic poetry put together by an intelligent monkey.
A fine example: "3 lines tell 3 stories (none of these are me calling you names)
"Anal boy"
"Fuckface"
"then you are a complete asshole"
••
Out of context, like so many of the "Bad Byrne Stories"? Indeed they do.
But probably not the one you want."
After which the discussion devolves into if these are sentences or not.
There's even possibly facetious Godwin's! "Chad, you may laugh, but aside for a few minor differences, this board is exactly like Nazi Germany in 1935."
We wrap up with arguing over if a guy who printed out condolences for a forum member from members and delivered them at his relative's funeral is "the Anti-Byrne, immortalized for His One Good Deed."
