Who watches The Watchmen? Me. I bought the big fat collected volume when it first came out, then loaned it. Then bought another one when I didn’t remember who I loaned it to that didn’t return it, then they returned my first copy. So now I have two copies of the big fat collected volume, but they have different covers. And I got the movie on iTunes and have therefore seen it a couple of times and listened to it over my shoulder while drawing maybe another four or five times.
That’s who watches The Watchmen.
Also, Lin has an amazing Rorschach costume. So he watches The Watchmen obviously.
And you?
Recognised the Watchman and where his dialogue came from, don’t get how it ties to the punchline. But I’ve only seen the Watchmen twice and haven’t read the comics so that may be a factor…
The character is named “The Comedian.” In the original Watchman storyline, he dies when thrown out the window in New York. Above, he’s just dying on stage.
Ah, now I get it. Thank you for the clarifier. I’m sure not needed for the real fans of the comic, but much appreciated in my case.
