Things like this and the extremely truncated dialog make Mandrake extremely surreal. It feels like it's written by aliens with some idea of what humanity is like, but that are extremely vague on the details, or is written by someone who is very, very high. It has only a very lose connection with reality or how people actually act, and I'm not talking about the magic.

I got a letter from the government the other day
opened it, read it
it said they was bitches




They stopped playing that loop, because it was only there as part of the plot to draw out the terrorist, who was in prison and who Mandrake identified using a power we've never seen him use before and has nothing to do with hypnosis, because he was the only person in the prison who got angry at the same announcement being played over and over on a booming loudspeaker.

Somehow, I can't see Gilchrist saying anything pro-gay-marriage given his core audience.

Aug 21, 2010

I think I wouldn't even be surprised if for all his simple Christian country folk American values shtick, Gilchrist was pro-gay marriage. His universal peace and love message may be clumsily executed but the basic thought behind it seems genuine.

Although it seems more likely that he doesn't care, is just doing his usual innocent child's play thing and in fact hasn't even taken the truck to town to buy a newspaper lately.

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

Reminds me of lotus pods.

The art and the lettering are getting especially bad, too. I'm thinking that Frank Bolle won't make it much further (he just turned 81!) and A3G will be getting a new artist sometime in the next year. If not sooner.
