"When in doubt, draw a distinction."

Not sure where he got it, but in grad school one of my teachers taught me that.

This (long) thread is about the key distinctions I rely on as a critic. There's a Twitter version from 2021. This one builds on that one.

I will post them one at a time. Ready?

There's a predictable approach to denial that we're already seeing, which I call the Four Pillars of Disordered Doubt, which allows actors to constantly question evidence that don't fit their preferred narratives.

Pray you once more,
Is not your father grown incapable
Of reasonable affairs? Is he not stupid
With age and alt’ring rheums? Can he speak? Hear?
Know man from man? Dispute his own estate?
Lies he not bed-rid? And again does nothing
But what he did being childish?

“No… worries… mate!”

Kelley Jones does another masterful job on art this issue. Love the choreography of the fight, particularly the long vertical fall in that striking right panel. Also, kudos to Paul Mounts for the outstanding coloring.

I work from home a lot. Some days, there's not much work to do so I wait for my wife and son to go out and shout "BIG DAY IN THE BIG BOYS BED' and both dogs run upstairs to burrow under the bed covers and we all have a mid-morning nap together. It's the highlight of my week.

A friend of mine's elderly dog took a new chew bone, walked to his kennel, and passed away shortly afterward.

I'm brokenhearted for them, but sixteen years for a big dog is quite an extraordinary life. And he died, happy and warm in his den, with a snack under his chin.

May we all be so lucky.

“You ain’t got the fire power to take me!”

Look at this art. The detail that Flint Henry puts into everything is crazy good, and we still get the feeling of motion in the figures. How colorist Martin Thomas keeps it all straight, page after page, actually enhancing the impact even more, amazes me.
