Aging or autism? I logged into Criterion Channel and was happy to see that, alongside the seasonal featured Horror films, they'd counterbalanced with a category named "Possessions", which I took to be a category of films themed on 'the mania of owning things'.

Good 'un from August, 2018. Happy coincidence: the smoky artifacting in the right side of the second panel is light pollution from the scan bed (these are too large for my scanner and are imported in two files that are joined in GIMP). #latentoats

Image of a comic strip consisting of four panels that read L-R. The strip is a manilla beige color, although there is halftone pattern used as shading in the third panel that is tinted horizontal layers of varying reds. Halftone pattern also shades the Squid Man character im each panel. The title of the strip is "Squid Man" and justified R reads attribution "by Katch & Chaz". There is a date stamp under the names that reads August 6th, 2018.

The first panel shows Sqiud Man, a floating tentacled, floppy armed and legged creature, with a large single eye, speaking to a young man with short black hair in a neat black suit with black tie and white handkerchief in breast pocket holding a pad of papers. Squid Man says, "The world is on fire. You are a kerosene salesman." The man does not look happy.

The second panel shows the young man looking down at his papers and Squid Man saying, "Sometimes you just have to play the part."

The third panel shows Squidman silent in contemplation and the young man is looking at him discocertedly. The background is shaded in layers of jagged red/orange/brown hues of halftone pattern, suggesting large fires in the backgroud.

The fourth panel has Squid Man moving to the right of the frame, the young man standing (still facing left) near the left of the frame. There is heavy rain indicated by diagonal halftone pattern, dark and partially occluding the characters. The young man's hair has washed down over his forehead, and he looks more disconcerted than in previos frames. Squid Man is saying, "Torrential rains and flooding. Now you are a sewage overflow salesman."

Really hoping that Anne Carson arranges a meeting with the the Pres. and a press conference in order to gift him her Prize, only to say "Yoink!" in front of all the cameras and to walk off, leaving him standing awkwardly (and on skewed appendages, apparently).

Wonder how many prompts it took AI to crop out the mirror view of his hair blowing unflatteringly in the convertible breeze, a view so unflattering that even repeated AI hallucinations couldn't right the wrong. The effort to get that fixed explains his having eaten the stash of brown m&ms.

Episode Three Hundred Forty: The Soap Strip Folk XI. ...in which we fill the vacuum. #latentoats

Image of a comic strip that is four panels reading L-R. The strip is a beige/yellow natural drawing paper color, with black ink and a tight halftone pattern used for shading. The strip is titled "The Soap Strip Folk" with a name credit justified right that reads "by Barney." There is a date stamp below the episode title that reads 051026. (October 10, 2016.)

The four panels depicts two characters, a man and a woman, standing in a room by a large window having a discussion. The first shows a close up of the woman pouring tea from a pot into a teacup on a saucer. The woman has straight shoulder-length dark hair parted on the side, and is wearing a light-colored suit. She says, "Secrets create a vacuum that only more secrets can fill."

The second panel shows the woman on the left of the frame in silhouette, standing against a window with the window frame also in silhoutte, and the right side of the frame is taken up with the face of a man with a flat-top cut dark hair, he is looking down and says, "I think you're overestimating my ability to lie."

The third panel shows a close-up of the woman, now looking up at the man and saying, "Oh?"

The fourth panel shows the two characters standing in opposition, separated by a large-paneled window pane, and the man is saying, "You yourself are living in a round-robin of cynicism and deception."

What is the movie that came out before you were born that you’ve watched the most times? A station in Chicago played a Marx Brother's marathon every New Year's when I was growing up, and I was glued. I'm fond of others, but Duck Soup is the most likely forerunner for times watched.
