Not my fault you're not in tune with the unsung heros of the modern-day literature world.

>>3697253
Asterix is glorious.

>>3697277
Your faggy "side of fries" tier comics aren't.

This is now an Asterix and Obelix thread......Go!

>>3697178
Hey OP, I know who it is, but you can't expect /lit/ to know, most people wouldn't care about his great selfless work. I only know him because I was so impressed with his work, I had to find out what he looked like.

Great guy, great work, wish he was my neighbor.

>>3697311

Angry Muslims support this idea.

>>3697311
>>3697317
Samefag, pls go.

who is it then?

>>3697311
My favourite one is where they join a Roman legion in order to look for some dude they know.

>b-but I want a comic about murrica

French did it. Better.

>>3697337
it was said already

it's Gene Wolfe

>>3697337
Get out.

>>3697347
*Belgians, pardon my French.

>>3697349

>>3697346

not everyone likes sci-fi...

seems nerdy.

"He is noted for his dense, allusive prose"
If I wanted to be bored I'd read melville.

>>3697352
>Belgians
awww shit

>>3697358
>Gene Wolfe
Wrong. Get out.

I know it's wrong, but Tobias Wolff?

If not, you've got me, and maybe you can introduce me to an author I haven't read.

>>3697377
>Tobias Wolff
Wrong again. Why are you still here?

>>3697346
No. He looks nothing like Gene Wolfe. (Pic related.)

>>3697386
He sort of does, if Gene Wolfe lost weight.

So, it's settled, it's Gene Wolfe, right?

>>3697395
Leave.

Gene Wolfe.

>>3697394
Yeah, but he's over 80 years old, not middle aged like OP's pic!

It's clearly Gene Wolfe

ITT: people who need to leave /lit/ forever.

Except for OP + 1 more

I will rape your house.

>>3697249
that's Tao Lin

>>3697577
Bring it (after you immediately leave this forum right this second).

>>3697595

I was gonna say that I already raped your dog but I'm not sure if it was your girlfriend.

... Michelle Obama?

10/10, definitely the most successful troll thread I've seen in a while

>>3697178
Stay pleb, OP.

el oh el... I've been here since lit was created

>>3697737

Hi moot, I did not recognize you, mate.

>>3697745
you rarely do

>>3697722
Hi OP, having a chuckle?

To those who think OP is a troll, you are foolish. OP's picture is of a man who has done professional work for the literary world for free. His abilities are unmatched, and quite possibly unmatchable. He is retired, and does what he does for the love of it, and to share his gift with the world.

It's quite sad that none of you recognize him. You would if you were familiar with his works.

>>3697770
Ok

>>3697806
Lol are you jealous that you're not privy to the knowledge of what fine work this man has done? He changed my life and made me experience intense emotions (I'm actually not joking).

Too bad you'll never know who he is and what he has done for the world.

>>3697815
Ok

>>3697826
Get out...

>>3697770

Nobody gives a fuck.

Actually, if I wouldn't know how Joyce's face looked like, it wouldn't matter shit.

Now fuck off.

>>3697833
Ok

>>3697848
I pity you. I want you to get out even more.

>>3697178
He was awesome as Commisioner Gordon

>>3697854

And I want you to get the fuck out of here. You are the disease /lit/ died of. Nobody fucking cares about faces. This is not a fucking forum on photography of people. It is a forum of literature and what matters is the placement of one word after the other to give meaning.

Keep worshiping dudes. Stay pleb.

>>3697888
Woah, don't shit your pants and cry. All I want you is to leave.

>>3697904

>>>/b/

Feels good that I know who this is. He's actually my friends grandpa. Handsome guy huh?

Its Tom Spanbauer

He taught Chuck Palahniuk

OP is a fag

>>3697933
Still wrong. Get out. Wow.

>>3697935

Really...am I?

>>3697943
It's impressive how similar they look, but I'm truly being honest with you. That's not him.

Get out.

>>3697933
>He taught Chuck Palahniuk

Who?

I love Baudrillard :D

Oh man a Gene Wolfe thread!

>>3698012
>>3698018
Get out.

OP for fuck sakes just tell us who he is if you think he's that important. That's how mature discussion works. Do you think this great man you idolize so much would be acting the way you are?

>inb4 get out

>>3698022
he's just trolling crugga

>>3698022
Get out.

>>3698034
No I'm not, get out.

>>3697178
who gives a shit, i read books not look at photos. Post his prose first.

>>3697178
he probably fucked you in the ass or something, post some quotes if hes so great

Nobody cares who this pedophile-looking bald fuck is.

SAGE
TROLL
DERAIL

Aside from PKD, DFW, Camus, and Palahnuik, I don't think I know how any authors look.

>>3698138
Oh! And Orson Scott Card. I did a report on him in highschool.

>>3698098
>>3698121
>>3698126
If only you guys knew how rewarding his work has been to me. But you never will unless you know who he is. Get out.

>>3698143
>Your face when the photo is that of OP and he's silently trying to viral market himself and his own books which sell like shit.

>>3698222
Out.

>>3698222

I regret looking that up

>>3698228

What has been seen cannot be unseen, uh?

Well, at least now you know who the guy of the pic is.

>>3698237
No it isn't. Get out.

I have no idea. AND I'M STAYING.

>>3698243

STOP TROLLING MY THREAD!

Fucking please. You're ruining it for everybody.

Buck Angel is a wonderful person whose writings have really touched me and many more. His compassion and unselfish contribution to literature does not deserve a petty troll like you to hijack my thread.

Please, get out!

>>3698243

If this thread has taught me anything it is that literary hipsters are just as bad if not worse than musical ones.

>"If you don't know who this obscure author is then you have no taste"

Fuck off OP

>>3698256

Here he is, in his younger years.

Thank you, Buck, for all you've done for us.

True /lit/izens will always carry you in their hearts.

>>3698270
GET. OUT.

>>3698277

No, you get out.

If you don't know who this is, please leave /lit/ forever.

>>3698143
>If only you guys knew how rewarding his work has been to me
so basically you worship this guy's dick 24/7? nobody on lit even knows who this guy is so maybe you should leave

>>3698319
Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

>>3698319


It's probably some self-published guy OP found on lulu

>>3698313

tee hee

>>3698319

Er... Buck has no dick proper

>>3697315
Hey OP, it's me again.

Don't let the haters get to you, at least one other person in this thread gets you.

>>3698333
It's actually Tobias Wolff. The thread was overtaken by a troll or trolls after someone guessed correctly.

>>3698346

*brofist*

We'll never let the legacy of Buck disappear.

>>3698347

Nobody cares. It's just a forgettable Yank writing war stuff and lame memoirs about an uneventful existence. He'll be forgotten in his small universe if he's not already. The world is huge and literature has bigger pens to entertain itself with. Moreover, PEN awards should be given in the U.S. to people who can actually read.

>>3698364
>>3698347
No. It is not Tobias Wolff.

Get the fuck out.

>>3698347
He's got to be related to Gene Wolff right?

>>3698367

Stop.

>>3698379
Out.

>>3697178

>>3698486

You are very welcome.

Now you know who pic related is and hail him as we all do thanks to his great contribution to literature and how kindly he touched my heart.

Is that Terry Pratchet without the hat?

>>3698630
He must have forgotten it. That or he's mistaken the photographer for a hat stand.

Is this George R.R. Martin?

>>3698646
huh?

>>3698654
This man is not bulbous enough to be Gorge R.R. Marzipan

That's Saul Bellow.

>>3697178
how about you post your favourite book cover like a non autistic person so we can discuss it.
i don't know how the majority of the authors i've read look like.
btw if your reasoning is sound pretty much everyone before the internet was an idiot...

If you don't know who this is, please leave /lit/ forever.

You don't belong.

>>3698814
lol

>>3698630
sounds legit

>>3698979
No. Leave now.

But this faggot draws kiddie comics

>>3697178

This thread show that elderly authors seem to have a certain look...
