Further evidence in the newest episode for my theory that the only book Felix has read is Le Miserables and he thinks all books are like that. The verit code he gave ended in 24601, so he probably had to see the play as a kid with his parents, then they gave him the book.

BENGHAZI 2 posted:So I'm rereading Transmetropolitan because this thread put it back iny brain and I hate myself and I got to a panel where literal sociopath and presidential candidate Gary Callahan, based not subtly on Bill Clinton complete with endorsing a third way, says "I want to be president because I think I should be" and damned if that isn't the most accidentally perfect commentary ever ellis is good http://morning.computer/2015/08/donald-trump-and-the-boris-johnson-effect/ quote:Longtime readers will know that US Presidential politics are a favourite spectator sport of mine. That said, I’ve been less impressed with the resistible political rise of Donald Trump than you might expect. Mostly because, like last time, I fully expect him to bail out before the candidate debates. He’s only going to be genuinely funny if he finds the courage/madness to stand at a lectern with other people and deal with voices that exist outside his own head. Zikan posted:the overall message of transmetropolitan is literally same "THE GODDAMN NEWS" of the Newsroom but from the perspective of someone who thinks Hunter S. Thompson is the poo poo rather then cable news if you want an insufferable, 100% terrible lib comic, there is Ex Machina which is Sorkin Superheroes with gore

I wouldn't know cause I got bored with it halfway through, but I read that somewhere and thought "oh, neat I guess"

Felix being the kinda guy who reads one book and can't not filter reality through it would be a problem, but at least he picked a strong class justice story instead of Harry Potter

Ellis is good but Transmetropolitan is still just really tired "WE NEED A BRAVE EDGY TRUTH BOY TO SAY ACTUALLY EVERYTHING IS BAD" and its only good arc was the one where bald truth man hosed off to different pleasure domes because it at least involved the slightly dawning realization that his job is actually pretty useless and he'll probably only be happy if he fucks off from being fueled by anger and spite 24/7 because he's never gonna magically 'win' and make the entire world go 'bald smartman with dumb glasses you are right and we're all bad'

Even loving pitchfork is dunking on Daou https://pitchfork.com/thepitch/the-secret-house-music-career-of-peter-daou-verrit-clinton/ quote:The Daou’s 1991 debut album, Head Music, was, like so many products of the era, an overproduced mush of influences: digital synths, strummy guitars, ham-fisted soul jazz over mood-music breakbeats. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kt3Oj-Dq-MM
