So just found out that this guy ^ is a comic book artist who just happened to get YouTube famous for his creepy-weird smile. Go, Gerry Alanguilan! Your creepy smile has reinforced comic book stereotypes everywhere.
Kidding, kidding. Kinda. I think.

Marriage Proposal of the Day: The planning! The dorkiness! The tears!
So imperfect it’s perfect.

Getting really sick of watching people who seem really smart talk about how gay people getting married takes away their religious freedom.
You have the freedom to believe what you believe, but just because you believe something is wrong does not mean that public policy that states it is *right* takes away your religious freedom.
You have the freedom to believe it is wrong. That’s it. Wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am. Finito. It stops there.
It’s sad, because these people really do seem like they aren’t complete idiots until they start talking about being “persecuted” because another group is finally being allowed civil liberties.

Nelson Ribeiro, an editor in our collections department and one awesome dude, provided some info on The Blue Ear and how the project came about.
If you’re unfamiliar with The Blue Ear, it’s a character we created in response to a letter from a mom who wanted to show her hearing-impaired son Anthony that even super heroes need to wear hearing aids. You can read all about The Blue Ear on Nelson’s Marvel.com blog, but here’s a bit from Nelson himself:
I was so moved by the story, there was no way I WASN’T going to draw something! As I was reading Anthony’s story, the name for his device just kept sticking out to me. “Blue Ear.” It just sounded like a super hero name. All that was missing was the, “The” in front of it. So I went home and drew out a few sketches of what “The Blue Ear” would look like. From the story, I knew Anthony didn’t want to wear his device, so I wanted to make sure that The Blue Ear’s listening device was very prominent and very important to his ability as a super hero. I even tried to write all the captions in a way which would focus on how important it is for the Blue Ear to wear his device. Hopefully, Anthony would also realize how important it is for him to wear it everyday as well!
We’ll have more about this on Marvel.com next week.
