"... check out a new comic book out from Micocrosm, Henry and Glenn Forever, a comic book featuring one panel gags in a universe where Glenn Danzig (of the punk band Danzig) and Henry Rollins (of the punk band Black Flag) are the kind of "roommates" that have "scare quotes" around the word "roommates." More than a political statement, this looks like a fun fantasy where Danzig and Rollins are an out and proud--but hardcore--Burt and Ernie. One reader described their comix companionship as "a loving, committed relationship. Henry loves Glenn dearly, even if occasionally his anger issues get in the way. Glenn keeps a journal about his ambitions and projects, like being in a band wearing corpse-like makeup ('Just be yourself!' recommends Henry)."
And The Boston Phoenix says:
"We can't believe it -- there's finally an object in the world that CARRIE BROWNSTEIN and J. BENNETT agree on! The last time someone drew an unauthorized Danzig character in a comic book, Glenn threatened to settle the score -- not with a lawsuit, but with a pine box (alas, to source that anecdote, see here and scroll halfway down the page). Then again, that was 15 years ago, before everyone remembered Danzig as that guy who got punched in the face on YouTube. So, although we're sure Glenn won't think so, maybe Henry & Glenn will lead to a career resurgence. Maybe, just maybe, Danzig's new album DETH RED SABOTH -- take that, spellchecker! -- will not be as failworthy as you'd expect an album called Death Red Saboth to be. Maybe he'll actually stick to his promise to play mostly old shit on his upcoming summer tour. Maybe he'll find a way to bring out Rollins for a chorus of 138 and an ironic smooch. Yeah, we know -- we're not holding our breath. But as lifelong Danzig devotees, we'll be there once again when Glenn shaves a few more inches off his legacy at the HOUSE OF BLUES on June 21."

Dude! What the FUCK!!!??? What the FUCK do you asshats have against Rollins and Glenn? I'm guessing you are jealous of the fact that these dudes are hyper-masculine and way more successful than you nerds ever have been and could EVER hope to be. Perhaps you all are the "queers" and question your own masturbatorial needs.
I can see you jerks sitting in your little drawing studio, cracking each other up with baseline "humor," feeling artistically and intellectually superior to the two righteous dudes which you choose to eviscerate. It's not even a parody, it's just outright punk-ass, immature, food stuck in your braces wearing, prepubescet, acne ridden, hog vomit!
I really would love to hear that Mr. Rollins and Mr. Glenn Danzig found even one of you jizz cups and smacked the living shit out of you to the point of putting you and yours into a long-ass coma!
In short. Fuck you. :)
