Added images and Movie Career

hey, i'm sort of a newbie around here. i added the movie career subsection and put up 4 images. i did my best to read the image use policy (it's long and not exactly straightforward) and i hope all these images are okay to use. i think it makes the article look a lot better. i feel like these were big edits and i'm wondering what other people think of them.

thanks all. -Sparseface 12:30, 05 December 2005

chick tracts

I remember reading somewhere that he bought a bunch of Chick tracts and read them one night, and "realised he was going straight to hell". Could someone confirm that story?

[jack chick is] "praised by underground comic artists like Daniel Clowes and Robert Crumb. When Clowes, whose screenplay for the indie film Ghost World received an Academy Award nomination, was in college, he read 80 Chick tracts in one sitting. "By the end of the night I was convinced I was going to hell," he says." http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1346/is_5_48/ai_101173128

Does anyone know if he actually converted to fundamentalist christianity? --Havermayer Of course he wasn't converted, Clowes is known such strips as '"Why I Hate Christians."

No Original Research

The musings about Clowes' work under "Cultural Context" are nice, but unless someone can show that these views have been published elsewhere -- and provide references -- this is in violation of Wikipedia's policy on original research. 69.118.25.126 04:50, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Syntax

Under the portion titled "AWARDS" the opening sentence reads, "His work in comics has won him a good deal of recognition . . . ". I'm not an expert, but "a good deal" doesn not seem like encyclopedi language. Anyone? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pirchlogan (talk • contribs) 17:54, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Happiness DVD cover.jpg

Image:Happiness DVD cover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 00:02, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Early career at Cracked

Why isn't there more about his years at Cracked? That was the first venue where his work hit a large audience (in my case, years later when I discovered the "Uggly Family" guy was doing comics, I had to get them), and it was in the Cracked bullpen where he met future collaborators/alternative comic stars Peter Bagge and Rick Altergott. So why not more on this.

BTW, this info was through a discussion with him at a signing, so maybe there just isn't much on it in print. But I think just mentioning the work he did there and who he worked with is important to note. Artemisstrong (talk) 17:31, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

His Father was Episcopalian and his Mother was Jewish!!! Change it!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.149.122.172 (talk) 08:54, 6 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Source for these claims? Npabebangin (talk) 21:28, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The cited Forward article "The Dark Comic Arts of Daniel Clowes" is fine for this information. Sean.hoyland - talk 03:44, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
