Happy birthday, Jose Delbo

Although you actually have a rather long and distinguished career as a comic book artist, Rollo and I (because I'm sure I speak for Rollo on this) can only think of your relatively lazy work on Transformers and say, "What the fuck, dude? Draw me a fucking Soundwave with his faceplate for once and I might think of sending your ass some fucking birthday cake."

No cake for you.

The thing that stands out to me when I think back about Jose's art, is that the torso of every TF was misaligned with the waist. So everybody looked like they were leaning back and looking up. If he'd done it once or twice, I may never have noticed. But he did it in just about every panel. Towards the end of his run, it just got ridiculously shitty.

Definitely no cake for you, clownshoes.
