Thanks to the library, I'm reading Watchmen for the first time.
Rorschach is a real piece of shit and I'm weirded out by anyone that identifies wth him.
I mean, they all kind of suck, tbh.
I assume that's the point. I'm still pretty early in. Will update as I go.

@nateb@mastodon.thenewoil.org When you're done reading it look up Alan Moore's thoughts on the character. Fascinating gap between artist intentions and fan understanding on that one.

@nateb@mastodon.thenewoil.org Nice! I recently picked it up but haven't gotten around to reading it yet. I saw an interview with the writer, Alan Moore, where he said he's creeped out at comic cons when people come up to him and say things like "Rorschach is my spirit animal."
