Mod Post: Off Topic Tuesday

[icon_uk]

In the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like. Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.

Slightly belated Happy Lunar New Year, welcome to the Year of the Ox.

In the US, the second Impeachment against Trump led to an acquittal for Trump, and featured some remarkable scenes, such as Mitch McConnell stating that Trump had been "responsible" for the assault on the Capitol, but also voting against conviction, arguing it was unconstitutional now that Trump was no longer president. (And this despite the fact that McConnell was instrumental in delaying the trial until afte Trump left office).

In the UK, the Government, with it's usual subtlety, looks set to create a "Free Speech Enforcer Champion" for Universities to "prevent the stifling of free speech and discussion on campus", despite this not being seen as a particualrly major issue by most universities.

Some controversy over plans to erect statues of 18th Century pirates Anne Bonny and Mary Read.

British ex-military personnel forced to leave the Armed Forces because of their sexuality can now reclaim lost medals and awards they were stripped of when they were dismissed.

Kind of a slow week in terms of TV/movies for me, so I'll leave that one open to you all instead.

Random question of the week - What sort of animal was the first pet you remember?

Oh, and new Theme Week imminent!

Batman/Catwoman #2 - "Up on the Housetop"

I had this revelation.... Well, not a revelation, but I was rereading Love and Rockets and I have always done these transitions with captions; then I read how Hernandez was doing it and how they had two panels apart and it be like a year later and no indication of that and it was up to the reader to figure that out. The writer trusted me to figure that out. So what you have in these three books is my abandonment on a technical level on those devices. On some level, that feels more real and you get a sense of what life is like as sometimes I don't notice how time goes by. The reader has that magic of going 'Wait, where am I? Ah, yes now I understand!' and you see the passing of time not with captions but the actual story. So this takes place in three different timelines. -- Tom King
