Why do you post things that suggest you’re anti MAGA, anti ICE, but then…

You promote MAGA products and give your money to MAGA?

I don’t understand it.

Oh?

Fun fact:

The very first panel of Watchmen, which itself is a reframing of the cover, has a secret to it.

What happens when you flip the image upside down?

It looks like Superman’s cape with a knife sticking in it.

Setting the tone for deconstruction on the first panel.

Look in any panel where HJ appears, especially the photo from the photo op. He is literally no bigger than Captain Metropolis or Nite Owl himself.

Trust your eyes.

“H” and “J”

Klansmen Mask/Hooded Justice mask
January 15, 2026 at 12:12 PM
Dave Gibbons lets the reader know through visual cues as well.

In the pictures, we see a Klansmen’s mask in the corner of Larry’s head, and there’s an “H” and “J” hovering over Larry’s glasses.

It is not at all subtle. It’s literally in your face on Larry’s face.

HJ hovers over Eddie in a rage while Eddie laughs, telling HJ that the joke would be on him.

Larry hovers over Laurie in a rage after Sally just told Larry that Laurie is in fact Eddie’s daughter.

The visual symmetry is amazing and is attempting to clue us in to HJ’s true identity.

Eddie, caught by HJ, has a terrified look on his face. Laurie, caught by Larry, has a terrified look on her face.
January 15, 2026 at 12:12 PM
We then see Eddie/Laurie’s reflection in a circular type mirror.
January 15, 2026 at 12:12 PM
Eddie/Laurie then touch Silk Spectre’s costume.
January 15, 2026 at 12:12 PM
Eddie/Laurie go into a room that they’re not supposed to be in.

Eddie waltzes in on Sally while she’s changing. Laurie enters her parents’ room, perhaps their study or bedroom.
January 15, 2026 at 12:12 PM
In the next picture, we see Laurie come to the realization of her true parentage in 1985 and comments that a gag has been played on her, her life is a joke.

Gag. That’s the same word Moore used when describing Superman’s identity, isn’t it?
January 15, 2026 at 12:12 PM
In the picture, you see the Comedian telling Hooded Justice in 1940 “I’ve got your number, and one of these days, the joke is going to be on you”

The Snowglobe Incident

In issue 9, Laurie tells Manhattan about her earliest memory. She was five years old when she overheard her parents, Sally and Larry, arguing while she was entranced by a Snowglobe in their home.

The wedding photo compared to the 1940 photo from the photo op.

Do you notice that the Minutemen are standing in the exact same positions in both photos? The only difference is Larry and HJ are standing in each other’s spot. And Sally has her arm wrapped around them in the same manner.

Why is the photographer only making 8 prints?

There are 8 heroes, sure. But there’s also Larry. He would also need a print as the publicist. The photographer isn’t making 9 prints, he’s only making 8, and Alan Moore decided he wanted the readers to know that.

Larry is already getting a print.
January 15, 2026 at 12:12 PM
Let’s talk about that photo op scene.

In the picture, we 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?
January 15, 2026 at 12:12 PM
Alan Moore once wrote a comic book called “Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?”

In the picture, you’ll see some villains in this comic laughing about the ‘great gag’ of Superman’s secret identity. All he had to do was “comb his hair and stick on a pair of glasses” to fool all of humanity.
January 15, 2026 at 12:12 PM
I’ve realized something about Watchmen that looking back on now…

It’s insanely obvious. It’s crazier still that no one on the planet has yet to “officially” write about this, no Watchmen companion books or analyzations point this out, but…

Hooded Justice is Larry Schexnayder, not Rolf Muller.
January 15, 2026 at 12:12 PM
When’s the last time these two shared a cover? Early 90’s?
January 15, 2026 at 1:48 AM
If we’re showing covers, here’s this gem!!!

Story by Keith Giffen and @jmdematteis.bsky.social

Possibly the greatest Mister Miracle story ever told, and featuring who I assume to be the main character in the upcoming ‘Lanterns’ series.

Trust your eyes. They are real. Hollis Mason is not.
