Centipedes are usually bathroom things, and pretty rare to see around here. Now ticks on the other hand are everywhere, so could have been that.
Have to pick out about three a day from the dog, felt really bad when one burried itself in her ear and the tweezers caught a little of her skin and she yipped and started kissing my face in appeasement like she thought I did it on purpose.
Frank Miller comics are the best. Currently reading his Robocop verses Terminator, and it's great. No soapboxing, no politics, no axes to grind, just over the top action and amazing atmosphere and goofy child like fun.
He gets what the 9 year old of the 1980's wants, and doesn't have any pretension of being an "artist", rather then an entertainer.
A lot of writers tried to copy him in the 90's, but they'd copy the mindlessness and excess while missing out on the fun. Because you just can't copy "spirit", it's something you have or you don't.

His comics? What he do?
Frank Miller (Not to be confused with Mark Miller, a raving leftie) is the writer who gave us Batman Year One, a stone cold classic about Batmans early years of stretching his wings and making a few foolish mistakes along the way (Like accidentally breaking a guys leg when he didn't mean to). And he did The Dark Knight Returns. You know the one, with a bitter Old Man Batman who literally comes in riding on a horse to set a decaying city right and slaps around Superman.
But he lost a lot of street cred with what came next, like Holy Terror (Look it up, no way can I explain that one and do it justice) or All Star Batman and Robin.
The latter had a younger Dark Knight Returns Batman, but more experienced then his Year One counterpart. He was also a laughing lunatic by that point who really enjoyed his work a little bit too much. Basically, I think Mark Miller was trying to write Batman as someone who you weren't really supposed to look up to, just like Keith Giffen made Lobo as a parody and fans actually genuinely really really liked him for reals. Miller didn't take it as well as Giffen did and just kept making Batman more insane as if to shout "DO YOU GET IT NOW!!? THIS MAN IS A LUNATIC! DO NOT EMULATE HIM!"

Sorry meant Frank Miller, put Mark in by mistake.
If you're interested here is a "review" of Holy Terror;
I put "review" in quotes because Linkara's schtick is to show literally EVERY PAGE OF A COMIC BOOK to his commentary. It's basically piracy, no idea how he gets away with it.
Ever hear of The Big Guy and Rusty the Robot? Maybe the TV series? Frank Miller wrote the comic it is based on.
It's good, but Rusty honestly only exists to get his butt kicked by the main villian before Big Guy saves the day. The villian being a ridiculously giant fire breathing Kauji like dinosaur thing, that eats people and turns them into freak foot soldiers. And the creature was grown in a Japanese lab by a malevolent disembodied entity that waits for ages for a civilization to grow advanced enough to provide a body, and then wipes that civilization out, which is kind of a cool back story.

Dont tell me what to do sir! Batman is a rich old fart who's going to ravage me under the hot desert sun and have his way with me. You bet your ass I'm going to emulate him. Hes going to be my idol and I'm going to worship those hot black leather tights. I'm going to rub him all over me and smell his dirty underwear! His stink is going to be my stink and he will lick all my insides..

That actually does sound cool. I will watch it. The last comic book I read was Fillerbunny, about a bunny on drugs. Look it up.
60's-80's cartoons are kind of funny seeing it through non kid eyes. Watched the entire Inhumanoids cartoon run last Halloween (You can find uploads all over, even on Youtube) it is as freaky as I remember, but way more goofy then I remember too. Like the RUSSIANS became antagonists. Their little tanks running through the Earths core. The big bad Metlar became did a heel face flip and did a heroic charge helping the Earth Core group fight them, it was great.
The Statue of Liberty was also brought to life by Metlar and became a shrew nag girlfriend and had him do situps to get rid of his gut.
Here's that ep;

I think all animators in the 80's were comedians.
