The original magazine cover for this piece “A Man…A Woman…and 1968’s Most Terrifying Survival Siege”

Born to Polish and Austrian parents of Jewish heritage in Brooklyn in 1927, Kunstler is still alive as of this post (96 years old). His work in Stag magazines and pulp fiction paved the way for later historical and movie poster art (including The Posedon Adventure). It ranged from chauvinistic, salacious, exciting, violent to utterly absurd (see the Pangolin attack below) but with an undeniable flair for composition and storytelling.

        I didn’t say keep her out while working on guns, I said keep her outside when you work with gunpowder.

          Yeah but nobody is working with gunpowder so whats your point? There is no danger to anybody from that cigarette in the picture except for cancer.

          I wasnt trying to ruin your enjoyment, but it just didnt make any sense in that context.

            Assassins generally keep and reuse cartridges, gun runners very commonly do their own ammunition as well. Idk why you’re having trouble processing this, but I never claimed at any point that he was working with gunpowder. I said when he does, put the smoker outside.

              Bro, better keep the smoker outside when you work with gunpowder.

              In what universe are you not directly referring to the situation in the picture when you comment the above on this picture? Do you always just randomly refer to completely unrelated possible scenarios in your conversations?

              I dont have trouble processing your imaginary scenario. I have trouble processing why you think people are supposed to read your mind through the internet to understand that you are referring to an imaginary scenario.

                Cartridges are evidence, and you don’t exactly buy more ammunition at walmart when you’re hunting the affluent.

                I’ve noticed that on Lemmy when people get called out for being confidently incorrect there’s like a really high chance of them doubling down no matter how insane their original position was.

                My favorite example was a user in the comic strips community just explaining the punch line out of the blue to nobody in particular. When somebody said “yep, that’s the joke” they immediately replied that explaining the joke as a top comment was a community tradition.

                Like, what’s the goal in doubling down and saying things that are verifiably false? Are they hoping that being confident enough nobody will question them?
