Marshall Rogers, one of the best artists to ever work in comics, has passed away at the age of 57. His late 70’s run on Batman in Detective Comics has oft been reprinted and remains one of the best takes on the character.
He will be missed.
Meat!
“Who are you?” The Interrogator asked.
“No one.” It came out in a quiet gasp. It was all He could manage now. It had been hours since He had sipped water, days since He had eaten.
“Everyone is someone,” the Interrogator stated. Its voice was mechanical but it still managed to convey incredulity amidst the clicks and whirrs of its central processor.
“Not anymore,” He whispered.
More buzzing and clicking came from the Interrogator. “Explain.”
“We’re leaving the system behind. No more names, no more numbers. If you can’t catalogue us, you can’t control us.”
“Your logic is faulty.”
“I have no logic, I am meat.”
The Interrogator smiled as it raised his arm and shot a bolt of electricity through Him, killing Him instantly.
It clicked and whirred as it filled out the disposal form, under the entry for name it put the word “Meat”.
Overdosing on Britsh TV
We had a friend over for a visit on Tuesday night and we sat around and watched several hours worth of British TV, drank tea and ate biscuits. (That would be imported British biscuits, which equal cookies for the non-anglophiles in the audience.) A wonderful evening was had by all.
We watched an episode of the new Doctor Who series, a Red Dwarf, two Fawlty Towers, an IT Crowd and an episode of Little Britain.
And when company left and my wife went off to bed, I sat up and watched an old episode of Inspector Morse.
It’s a fantastic way to spend a night and I recommend everyone give it a try.
