of course it's cheap, it's filled with spiders. I'm willing to pay a premium and deal with neighbors to avoid my flesh being necrotized

I don't have the most exposure to Frank Miller, mostly his Batman stuff and some Sin City. I really dig his weird art style though. I especially like the pseudo-cyberpunk feel of DKR, and the cheesy slang. Alan Moore's definitely right about it being at least somewhat fascist though. It feels all like "the kid's aren't alright" generation crap that I've grown to really hate in recent years.

It's been a while since I've read it but I can't remember any young person beside Carrie Kelly who's a decent human being. They're all portrayed as either brain-dead or psychotic. The story's about an old man who decides that he never should have stopped beating the shit out of people, and is ubermensch enough to be able to resume doing it even though his hair's white and he should be made an invalid very quickly. Don't get me started on the whole horse-riding imagery thing.

At the same time, it was clearly critical of Reagan and the insanity of mutually assured destruction. Superman is also portrayed as a fascist and it's treated negatively, so it does have that going for it.

It's something that has things that rub me the wrong way as an adult, but I still enjoy it despite that.

That's why I use "site:reddit.com" instead of just adding "reddit"

Like ten people in all of the US love Biden, others just understand that he's the lesser of two evils

My favorites are the ones where Calvin unexpectedly gets along with Susie, or Calvin's Mom shows where he gets his imagination and sense of play from.

Calvin's Dad explaining things is also really good.

Yes. In the story the elf here, Frieren, is travelling on foot with humans across the continent they live on. Frieren often wants to stop at towns they come across to rest, or study something local, or wait for favorable conditions, for anywhere from a year to multiple decades. The humans with her constantly have to remind her that a decade is like a 7th or 8th of their lifetime, even if it's only a few moments for her comparatively.

Cool! I have no idea what any of that means, but cool! I get the feeling that you really enjoy what you do, and if that's the case I'm glad for you :3
