Well - not the same genes as one of your parents, unless your parent and that aunt/uncle are identical twins. Outside of that circumstance, your parent would share an average of 50% of his/her genes with your aunt/uncle, and you yourself share 50% of your genes with your parent. So - roughly 25%.

The only stuffed animal that I had any affection for when I was a kid was Digger. What a weird show that was.

Rucka's two Queen & Country novels are pretty good, and required reading if you want to really follow the series, since they're canon.

Trump: I hate to rain on your parade, but you're not gonna last 17 hours! We're gonna go in there just like we did before, and we're gonna go in there, and we're gonna go in there and we're gonna GET you!
Reporter: Mr. President! Those people will survive longer than that, and they have nuclear weapons and proper…

I swear I wasn't fishing for this reply, but in hindsight I should have expected it. Also now I feel kind of bad, because I just actually watched the video and it made me a little sad.

How many cops were there? Was it one, two, three, four, five against one?

Me too - bought on the day I got my PS2. The one with the metal slipcase.

I really really like Autumnlands, but that's one that I've started trade-waiting for. Ditto Bitch Planet, Descender, I Hate Fairyland, Rocket Girl, and probably a few more that I'm just spacing out about. I give Southern Bastards a pass on their recent delays because of family troubles, but - it's something that…

I actually really like a lot of Image books, but so many are having scheduling issues that I've dropped a lot and am just trade waiting. Which I hate to do. One of the things I like about Rucka (YMMV, of course) is that he's kept Lazarus on schedule for the most part. Sometimes the hiatus is a bit longer than other…

It just became a part of the way that I was marking the passage of time, and I didn't even really realize that I was noticing it so much until I left and it wasn't there any more. It'd be weird to say that I "miss" it, since they weren't my traditions, but it's strange to sort of lose one of the markers that you…

Having lived in Crown Heights on the Hasidic side of Eastern Parkway for about 7 years, I'm uniquely curious to see this movie. Having left Brooklyn now, it feels weird sometimes to see the seasons changing but not being marked by some of the changes to the neighborhood like the arrivals/departures of the sukkahs and…

Cool. On the one hand - phew - there wasn't more material out there that I had been sleeping on. On the other hand - nuts! No more Fletcher Hanks weirdness.

First - I don't think I knew that a third one had been released, so - thanks for that! Or - I think I did know that they collected the initial two into a single volume - is that third one just that collection? Second - I can never remember the exact titles of the first two; they always start to blend together, so I…

And the thing is - it's not just "I like it because it's crazy" - there's legit something to it. I couldn't say what exactly, but there's some there there.

It feels almost like a David Lynch joint, turned into comic book/superhero form. Like - a bad dream made into something to be shared with others via the mass media.

Those two collections of Fletcher Hanks that came out a while back are worth every penny. Batshit crazy, the man was.

The Gunmobile (feat. a Bat-symbol somewhere probably I guess…)

Not that FWWM is super comprehensible even is you ARE familiar with the series, but yeah - can't imagine coming to the movie without having seen the show first. Or why you'd want to do so, given that the series is readily available.

I getcha. I myself go the other way. My favorite stuff in the books isn't really the traditionally exciting stuff, it's the digressions that I like. Wizard and Glass is my favorite of the books, despite it being largely inconsequential in the overall plot. Hence my preference for a tv series. More time for more…

Isn't that more of an argument about what should or should not be included in the adaptation, and less about what medium is a better fit for the adaptation, though? I agree that either in a series of movies or in a tv show, there's stuff that should be cut, but my point is that I think that in general, I think it…
