I will admit I really felt the podcast we just posted on the Pink Powder Puff Editorial. The bullying aspects of the entire incident are something all too familiar to us. Baltasar Cue called it Valentino's "transcendental anguish", a phrase we understand.
It was all too easy to mock Valentino during that summer of 1926 and this snarky cartoon (see below) is a prime example I think. Mocking his line in the sand and his, "I'm mad as hell and I am not going to take it anymore".
I guess the joke is that editors are notoriously scrawny so now they have to beef up to defend their writing. I wonder if Valentino saw this cheesy and insulting cartoon which demeans his reaction entirely.
