Reading Watchmen
by Phil LongJust bought the graphic novel. Excerpt, quoting Rorschach:
“Heard Joke once:
“Man goes to Doctor. Says he’s depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel.
“Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain.
“Doctor says ‘Treatment is simple. Great Clown Pagliacci is in Town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up.’
“Man bursts into tears.
“Says ‘But Doctor…
“‘…I am Pagliacci’”
I’ve completed the second chapter and it is fantastic, I’d recommend it. Get it read before the film in March next year.
