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.

The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.

Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.

It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.

The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than me.

I had three paragraphs about the sordid depths of the UK election campaign here, but you know what, if you're living here, you already know it, if you don't, then lucky you.

It took some finding, but in the "good news category", the Chang-6 lunar mission has ended with the successful return to Earth of the first samples from the far side of the moon.

The Doctor Who season finale gave us perhaps the most RTD of all possible RTD finales. Gur ovt onq Fhgrxu'f qrsrng frrzrq n yvggyr... negvogenel.

Get Jiro, the graphic novel co-written by Anthony Bourdain and New York novelist Joel Rose was picked up for an animated series adaptation by Adult Swim, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The New York Times best-selling series was published in DC Comics in 2012. In 2015, Bourdain and Rose released a prequel, Get Jiro: Blood and Sushi.

The 162-page graphic novel is a satire on foodie and reservation culture. The series is set in a dystopian Los Angeles, where people kill for seats at the city’s hottest restaurants. The protagonist, a sushi chef named Jiro, decapitates customers for stirring wasabi into their soy sauce or ordering California rolls.

“The explosion of interest in chefs and restaurants is certainly easy fodder for satire,” Bourdain said in an interview about the novel. “But my motivation was really nothing more than to help tell a story that would be fun, extremely bloody, beautifully illustrated — and insanely detailed as to the specifics of cooking and eating.”
