It was Grant Morrison who made the FF comments, not Moore. I just did a quick google search. Grant Morrison Fantastic Four Sue fuck Johnny. I got a link to an interview as the first match.

This is from an interview where Morrison also says he was abducted by aliens. Can we say "grain of salt," boys and girls? (Of course in Morrison's case the salt is probably spiked with LSD...)

Wow, I just read that interview, and wow.

Why is it so many creative people seem to be completly out of touch with reality?

Is insanity really necessary for creativity?

Mr Byrne, your thoughts?

"Can we say "grain of salt," boys and girls?"

What's the point? Is he projecting some kind of persona? If so, what is a
reader supposed to take away from it if it's all BS? It's not even clever BS.
"Sue is Johnny's sister but she acts more like a mother to him, therefore their
relationship is incestuous." There's no universe on which that makes any
sense.

Even if it's a joke, it's a pretty dumb one. And I don't say that as a prude or
an indignant FF fan. I say it simply as a fan of "things that make sense."

I take it as GM projecting a persona. Crazy Grant Morrison.

Yeah, but look at ALL-STAR SUPERMAN and his JLA! That shows he respects comics! Morrison is the shite! Come here, fanboy! Put this in your mouth!

Maybe I'm a fan boy, but it's still some pretty stupid **reasoning**, and I would have thought so, even if I had never read a comic book in my life.
Maybe I'm over sensitive when it comes to FF, I dont know, but FF has always been something special in my mind, ever since I read the first round of issues by Lee and Kirby, and I'm kinda protective of that, so maybe that's a soft spot, where my sense of humour is severly limited.
