“BD” refers to Franco-Belgian comics, but let's open things up to include ALL Euro comics and GN's. Euro-style artistry from around the world is also welcome. ^^

* BD = "Bandes dessinées"
* BDT = Bedetheque
* GN = graphic novel
* LBK = Lambiek
* LC = "Ligne claire"

This will be a little bit of an oddball post, covering several things:

  1. As for the recent post, I did get to checking out The Spire and added my comments to the OP. Sorry / not sorry.

  2. I'm still a bit 'confustrated' at the idea of moving to PieFed, as it doesn't look like it's going to preserve all our content, and yet... what the hell? It's better than nothing, isn't that right?

For example, we have ~550 posts here on EGN+, yet only... 385 are seemingly showing up via PieFed's preservation of our sub/community. Is this normal? Is this just some expected 'collateral damage,' not worth bitching and moaning about? Example of this site as seen through PieFed

  1. Getting back to the OP, I'm a huge fan of examining possibilities for what life was like across the ~300k years of modern humans' existence. I mean, we moderns tend to think of 'human history' as basically ranging back to the dawn of pre-civ, pre-agro times (at best), but man... in truth, it is much, much older, and there was even (at minimum) a pretty cool film (albeit depicting H. neanderthalensis rather than H. sapiens), but I think the point was made, eh?

Check it sometime if you're curious! https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=the+quest+for+fire+movie

Still, getting back to this precise series & this comics' premise, I found this one full of strong, realistic scenarios. Not quite 'brilliant' in any particular way, but overall rather fascinating via its art-storytelling mashup. Certainly, the biggest idea was the idea of 'bitchy spirits' inhabiting each of us, affecting our thoughts, judgements and actions.

Now does that make a smidgen of sense?
I actually think it does!

  1. Honestly, this is getting a bit tiresome, but... ...my eyesight is kinda... fading. I.e., things are getting 'misty' from my end, and I have no idea what's going to happen with me, en futuro.

So far it seems like it might be high-BP related, but there's also the fact that macular degeneration runs heavily on my one grandmaw's side. I guess we'll just have to see how the meds and upcoming examinations will shed light (haha) upon all this.

Alright, peace-out, folks!
