Talk:Nick Roche

Writer-Artist Cred

Is Nick Roche the only guy who's ever both written and illustrated an entire Transformers comic book? I know Budianski did some partial pencil layouts from time to time and Dan Khanna co-plots the fanclub comic along with Forest, but has anyone else ever done the whole thing themselves? --ItsWalky 20:02, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Hirofumi Ichikawa? -Derik 20:17, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Aha. Yes. I knew I must be missing something. Darn you, Linkage! --ItsWalky 20:51, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Say first Western. Writer-artists are more common on Manga than in the west. -Derik 00:47, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

In-Joke Origins

I keep meaning to ask... how did Roche's running gag of trouser-shattering get started? --Jeysie 15:52, 30 January 2010 (EST)

"He is awesome" ?

Even for this wiki, the "He is awesome" line in the opener seems excessive. Is he so universally beloved in the fandom that such an unambiguously glowing statement is appropriate? --GrantB 13:54, 2 May 2012 (EDT)

Yes. Those who disagree are fools. --Nu-Priest 20:47, 2 May 2012 (EDT)

Well... I know a few people who disagree, myself included. I wouldn't question this for E. J. Su, but Roche? I don't think there's enough support for that. --GrantB 16:51, 16 May 2012 (EDT)

Well, I beg to differ on either of those two being "awesome", but I don't see it as something we really need to get into a huge argument over. You're taking this a wee bit too seriously. --Khajidha 17:49, 16 May 2012 (EDT)

Yeah, I'm not really sure what the guidelines are on bold-fonted purely-subjective expressions of praise, but I also know enough about wikis to know that if I deleted it someone might push back. But I thought it at least worth mentioning that I think it's a bit undeserved here. --GrantB 18:38, 16 May 2012 (EDT)
