Gag. That’s the same word Moore used when describing Superman’s identity, isn’t it?

Let’s go back to that wedding photo and let’s compare it to the 1940 photo from the photo op.
Do you notice that the Minutemen are standing in the exact same positions in both photos?

Below, you see Nite Owl paying the photographer. But why?
Larry is the Minutemen’s publicist. Presumably he set the whole photo op up. Why isn’t Larry in this scene and why isn’t Larry handling the money?

Below, you’ll see some villains in this comic making light of the ‘great gag’ of Superman’s secret identity. That all he had to do was “comb his hair and stick on a pair of glasses” to fool all of humanity.

Check out my pinned post for a bunch of revealed secrets but I will walk you through my favorite.
Hooded Justice is not Rolf Muller but rather the Minutemen’s publicist, Larry Schexnayder.

In the second picture, we see Mothman in old age slowly going crazy.
In the first picture, we see an unnamed John who is paying Rorschach’s mom for sex.
They are the same person.
Meaning Mothman wasn’t some “innocent” as the surface plot inclines.

It doesn’t matter if you read 50,000 comics or Zero before starting Watchmen…
Either way, you will be tricked and manipulated.
The picture shows you, with your own sense of sight, that Hooded Justice is no bigger than some of the other costumed adventurers.

That’s not true.
In issue 9, we see the proposal letter from Larry to Sally and it is dated February 1948.

I’m assuming you mean the Mothman one.
On the right is Mothman in old age.
On the left is a John of Rorschach’s mother, a man who treated her very badly in the scene we see him in, and even talked shit to young Rorschach.
They’re the same person.

You can see the collar, shield, the works.
Given that the book is essentially a big middle finger to superheroes, very fitting.
It’s not mentioned in Moore’s script, and so I believe this was Gibbons being brilliant.
Cheers!

The Tilt a Whirl is seen in the background, the only words being visible are “Ti” and “Hi”…
“Tee-hee!”
Gibbons is laughing at us as the reader falls for this sort of manipulation all the time in this book.

He’s still there in panel 4, just not seen. He’s directly behind Boy and Mother 2. You can see Boy 1’s mother in the blue shirt in the background.

Boy 2 has a belt. Boy 1 does not.
Boy 2 has his shirt tucked in. Boy 1 does not.
Now if just one of these things was different, you could say it’s just error on the artist. But it’s all three. And this is Gibbons and Watchmen we’re talking here.

Except…
This kid in panel 4 is not the same kid from panel 2. You are made to think it is through manipulation but it’s not.
Let’s examine.

The letter is dated 1948.
Now you may think that this is a printing error, but once you realize that Hollis Mason tells a bunch of other mistruths, then you realize the book itself lies to you.
