Who's that V is carrying? I just reread the past 20 strips, and there was nothing to remind me. (Incidentally - Minrah's big secret in #1135 - the one she was worried about, and didn't want Durkon to know, and then Thor told her it's totally okay and he's cool with it - am I the only one who thinks it's that she's gay?)

It somewhat annoys me that he just now revealed that, oh yeah, Minrah got raised. Had to pick through the archives to see where Durkon said he'd do it the next morning before they set out.

The Question IRL posted:Saying all that triggered a suppressed memory about how one of the writers of the Legion of Superhero (I think it was Paul Levitz) did a detail breakdown on some long gone site of the Legionnaires sexual kinks and which ones had the biggest dick. That sounds like more of a Bierbaum/Bierbaum thing.

Roland Jones posted:I'm not going to link it because I wrote it years ago so the writing quality is really bad, and also I don't remember the number anyway, but it was basically a memetic... Well, originally a video tape, but it was "infectious"; when played on a device, any future media it played would be infected with it as well, and could thus also spread it, so, thanks to a VHS-DVD player, it jumped to discs as well. And later audio recordings of it while it was played on a different device. And art created by people who had been exposed to it, which they seemed compelled to do. And video footage of said art, as an unfortunate security guard who happened to be watching the monitors when a piece of it was unintentionally exposed to a camera found out. was this the 'choked and died' one?

SlothfulCobra posted:One of the things that really bothers me about most fantasy settings is how so many of them get locked in this eternal stasis where they'll throw in time periods like thousands of years and you'll still have the same pseudo-medieval level of technology and organization on both ends, which is just antithetical to everything I know about real history. Especially if you've got serious academic institutions like wizards are portrayed as, either there should be non-magical academics figuring things out or wizards should be constantly probing the realm of the magically possible. You need to read Max Gladstone's "Craft" novels, starting with "Three Parts Dead". and maybe Melissa Scott's "Five-Twelfths of Heaven".

sebmojo posted:hell yes, that's a deep cut. The sequels were only ok, but the ideas in the first one were insanely good The loyalty geas annoyed me because I'd recently read Greg Egan's Quarantine, which does some interesting poo poo with the notion of enforced loyalty. Hyperspace being purgatory was amazing, though. edit: and, in keeping with the past few pages, I've been reading this thread since at least 2007. Probably earlier, but I started at the beginning and went all the way through until I caught up (which is why I haven't been posting in the Comic Strip Megathreads for a few years).
