How is everyone doing today?
does anyone want a peanut?

Before I read this comic I only knew Andre the Giant from the Princess Bride movie, since I wasn't into wrestling at all. It's a really nice little story.
It's a good little book.
>>77986681
I was doing pretty damn well until I saw you were stealing from another hard working author. Get fucked, you worthless sack of shit.
>>77986808
One of the nicest things you can do for your bookshelf for under 20 bucks!
>>77986837
Hello anon. I am glad to see you sticking to your guns.
What's with everyone loving Andre?
Is he famous for something other than choreographed fighting?
>>77987094
Princess Bride was a classic.
>>77987094
He also acted a bit, like in the classic Princess Bride. but also had great media tours. Not to mention Wrestling is enough to make someone very famous, even today.
>>77987094
He was one of the most iconic celebrities of the 70s and 80s. There were image macro memes based on him before the internet even existed.
>>77987448
This makes me wonder, with today's technology of joint replacements and artificial organs, how long would Andre have lasted if he were born a bit later?ignoring the astronomical costs of all that jive
>>77987516
I think there's a point of no return in terms of size and the ability of your organs to maintain your body, but probably less pain. Pain was a huge problem at the end.
>>77987516
Joints and stuff can be replaced, back surgeries are pretty commonplace now, the biggest problem would be his heart giving out on him.
>>77987516
Wasn't joint problems that killed him. Gigantism causes organs to grow disproportionately to each other. There is literally no way to survive this.
>>77987516
Given the lifestyle of wrestlers during that era, even with futuristic technology, probably an extra ten years
>>77987729
>"I heard he ate a guy once!"
Hee
>>77987669
Honestly his decision to not get surgery to stifle the condition just meant no going back
>>77987516
If he had the surgery Big Show did to keep the giantism shit in check, he would've lasted way longer. If not, maybe a bit longer, but probably not by much.
>>77987947
golly he's a really large man
>>77987995
>Mr. The Giant
Man. the world really was a different place when kayfabe was still a thing.
>>77987605
It always blows my mind that Andre knew he was living on borrowed time for his whole career.
Makes a lot of the decisions he made make more sense.
>>77988074
>sheeeit
>>77988065
one of my PnP characters has Gigantism.
Literally the only thing keeping him alive is the fact that he's a skilled magician. Gigantism fucks you up.
>>77988498
>WITH A BEARD!
>>77988508
>Hulgan's fucking face
He doesn't want none of that shit.
I've got a signed copy of this masterpiece along with a sketch on the inside, Box Brown is pretty great.
>>77988785
That's some honorable shit.
>>77988885
>That pose
>>77989093
Class act there.
>>77989111
true fact: Andre would never allow his drinking buddies or dining companions to pay for the meal. He'd always pay for it himself.
>>77989148
I love the story of him picking up Schwarzenegger when he tried to sneak off an pay withouth Andre knowing.
>>77989194
When you see his tabs and checks though it's not hard to see why he wouldn't want his friends buying.
>>77989194
One of my favorites is his stay in japan, where the toilets were too small for his use so he had to shit in the bath tub. He'd lay down newspaper and leave it for the cleaning ladies.
He ordered them huge bouquets of roses to try and make up for it.
>>77989229
Yikes that's a rough day at an even rougher job, especially because I imagine there was no context for that when they walked in, I don't know if Andre ever learned any Japanese but if he did I doubt there are words to explain why he had to shit in the tub on newspapers.
>>77988508
This time it's not Hogan who said the N word.
>>77989237
Based Andre.
>>77989545
>No one looks at me here
awwwwwww
I didn't ask for feels in this comic
>>77986631
>the new Andre the Giant comic is still not ripped
Wasn't there a second one of these?
I keep hearing about it but seeing fuck all evidence it even exists.
>>77989781
Sad about it.
>>77989997
>>77990011
Good Giant Andre.
