It was his previous handle.

Apparently, he changed it after having been told it meant "fart" in Swedish.

He was initially Giancarlo, a hateful rightwing maniac who displayed some of the most egregious homophobic tendencies.

Then he showed his picture, and everyone realized he was totally gay. He slowly came to that realization himself. I personally loved the period where he would openly flirt with other gay posters (particularly Redjon) but when people would mention him being gay, he would vociferously deny it.

Then he came out and became Fez. He took the name from the character on That 70s Show, I believe. Imagining him saying the things he would say with that guy's voice was just ludicrous beyonf words.

And yes, once the Fez=Swedish Flatulence link was made, he quickly reverted back to Giancarlo. Although I think my favorite nickname for him was unofficial and came from molly bloom, and that's "Pedro Poopypants."

Lo, thus ends the saga of Fez.

I remember the initial Gian. Wow, he really WAS rightwing wasn't he? Then I took a hiatus and saw that Fez became a rightwing person but that wasn't so homophobic. Never saw the fart thread tho..but I wouldn't be surprised.

Last time I saw him, he had colored hair, had a boyfriend, and was still shouting the wisdom of Bush.

Somethings never change...

Yay, someone remembers me. But Franky, I´ve been back since january, I changed my handle like last week

And about Fez. It doesn´t really mean fart in swedish. Spelled with a z it just means the felt cap used in Turkey and Egypt. Fes on the other hand, means farted. But since they are pronounced the same it doesn´t matter I suppose

FEZ= is the name from a guy from that 70's show...it means foreign exchange student (but with a Z ) because they cant pronounce his real name.

It was taken from the men's magazine Esquire, probably published sometime between 1946-53.

Aaahh. I think the same artist must have had work published in National Geographic, although possibly with less suggestive pictorial references.


Suddenly thought of Sidney Greenstreet's character in 'Casablanca'...

Never managed to get to Fez or Casablanca, although I did visit Tangiers, Chechouan and Tetouan and Asilah.

I know E. Simms Campbell was a regular cartoon artist and illustrator with Esquire up until ca. 1953, specializing in depictions of scantily clad women in often suggestive situations, for the time. He became well known for the recurring Sultan-and-harem theme for some of his cartoons.

But I agree it's quite possible he also did illustrations for other prominent mags of the time, including National Geographic. Of course in those days there were a lot of freehand illustrators, some of them producing works in similar styles, at least it could appear to be similar from a glance.

(I've started to take an interest in the subject, pre-1960's popular art depicting women. There really is a wealth of work from that time which I find very pleasing to the eye. )

So will you be going to see 'Sin City', or have you already done so ?


And what do you think of Howard Chaykin's artwork ?

http://www.internationalhero.co.uk/a/amerflag.htm


Mnay of his female characters seem to end up (or start!) clad in fishnets, garters, stiletto heels and basques.

Such practical gear, of course...

I don't see how practicality would even enter the equation.

I have to say I'm hopelessly out of touch with contemporary culture, have been for years now, and I'd very much like to keep it that way. So no Sin City for me.

Haven't heard of Howard Chaykin before, I'd have to look into it sometime, but I fear he's too 'recent' for my taste. With very few exceptions, the early 1960's really is a cut-off point in terms of the quality of traditional 'pin-up' and related work. Thanks for the tip though, some of the items of clothing you mentioned did sound a little interesting.

He has done several retro styled comics with Marvel and First and D.C. - he seems to favour the Cadillac yank tank look for his automobiles and the Rita Hayworth and Veronica Lake look for his ladies, with his gents clad in the kind of vintage clothing I love- double breasted jackets and zoot suits.

Funnily enough several of my female friends actually like his fetishized depictions of women- I think because as well being eye candy for the discerning gentleman (such as your kind self) they also tend to be independent feisty characters, like some of the heroines of film noir and 40s & 50s cinema.
