But you are a person, and I can't say I'm awfully fond of that.
I really enjoy the fact that the front page of the comic still advertises itself as PG-13

like at this point I'd be very disappointed if it ever got changed to the hard-R it really merits

"You were just babies then!" she said.

"What?" I said.

"You were just babies in the war — like the ones upstairs!"

I nodded that this was true. We had been foolish virgins in the war, right at the end of childhood.

"But you're not going to write it that way, are you." This wasn't a question. It was an accusation.

"I — I don't know," I said.

"Well I know," she said. "You'll pretend you were men instead of babies, and you'll be portrayed in the movies by Frank Sinatra and John Wayne or some of those other glamorous, war-loving, dirty old men. And war will look just wonderful, so we'll have a lot more of them. And they'll be fought by babies like the babies upstairs."

Less humorously, Sette's vision of mutant Starfish had a dong-arm and there have been some background graffiti dicks that heavily imply some really unpleasant things about Sette's past

I stand corrected by both of you.

Also, Captain Claggart is harsh but fair. Both people who make it out of this alive will owe their lives to him for minimizing the losing-of-poo poo.

Lemmy is probably more right than he thinks he is. There's no way the deal with Rukh will work out how they expected it to.

And yeah, Claggart is a good captain. Just because the world is falling apart doesn't mean you should, too!

I don't typically check Cope's ask feed but apparently she mentioned Claggart forever ago and he and Duane end up becoming good buddies and pen pals after this.

I think he also helped Lemuel get into the vliegeng corp? I haven't read it myself, just heard about it elsewhere.

EDIT: Searched "Claggart" in the feed and didn't find anything. Maybe apocryphal? Or not referred to by name. Either way, I suspect we'll have a chance to find out soon enough.

she responded to a comment about this somewhere and said some things have changed - at the time Claggart was imagined as rich and famous and part of his essential character now is that he is neither

but I hope the rest remains

Yeah, reading through the feed, I was "Reminded" that Claggart's actually working class, which sometimes slips my mind when he's being an authority figure. The Jets live longer lives than most so I imagine it's easy to write them off for that, but if you're a military man a longer life is just a more generous span of time during which getting shot is an occupational hazard.

duane has not been acquitting himself well in this flashback

from lemuel's perspective the man's entire life must look like a series of squandered opportunities that he could only dream of having. no wonder he helped to kill the guy

at least duane hosed up that political appointment so he could disappoint his brother one last time on his way out

Vampire is quite old and has lived primarily among his own, similarly old kind, and hiding out in the far reaches of the world for the sake of his rebellion. So his speech echoes another era. I’ve tried to reflect that without making him completely unintelligible. Let me know how I do over the next few pages.
