    Watchmen is kinda like the Mona Lisa. Is it the most incredible painting ever by today’s standards? Not at all, but during its time, it was incredible, influencing artists for centuries to come.

    Watchmen elevated comic books from telling stories about boy scout aliens from Krypton to graphic novels about deeper, darker, bigger issues.

    If you’re looking to get into graphic novels with a more literary bent, you’ll want to explore the indie scene, I think. I would recommend trying Maus or Persepolis to see if they are more what you’re looking for.















  • Well, you have to answer to make sure that nobody died; otherwise, if you let it go to voicemail, then you just sit and wait to see if a message is left, and then oh shit, they did. Now, I’m going through the 2 fucking minutes it seems to take to get to my voicemail, my heart pounding, oh God, what happened? And then it’s just a robot trying to reach me about my car’s extended insurance.

  • With that said, I think that a companion pet can often help one make those changes. Since it sounds like money and allergies are a bit of an issue, I would suggest looking at rats. They are incredibly loyal and affectionate, clean, intelligent. They only live about 2-3 years, which sucks, but if you find that pet ownership isn’t for you (and it’s okay if it isn’t), you aren’t beholden to an animal that will live 4-5 times as long.
