After half of a lifetime on the internet, l've learned exactly one thing:
Nothing, absolutely nothing, is more boring than believers and atheists debating whether or not God exists.

I finished reading Cerebus last night.
The misogyny woven through the second half of the run aside, Sim lost me as well because as his much as the art & lettering were masterful, at some point he got so into his own head that he forgot he was writing a story for people to read.

There was a reddit post recently where someone referred to The Talking Heads as 'TEMU Devo" and I had never considered violence before but it went through my head there.

Reminds me of the last track from Running on Empty.
"I gotta take more of it or less of it. I can't figure out which."
"I gotta take more of it or less of it. I can't figure out which."
Just listened to John Cale’s I Must Not Sniff Cocaine, which begins with a snort, turns into a bittersweet ballad for a few seconds, cuts off with another snort, the ends with Chris Thomas (?) over the talkback saying ‘I must not sniff cocaine when I go to CBGB’. 38 seconds.
