Sometimes i wish not to respond to the world anymore , for when i talk about the same things for now if i talk it would be about things that i have been thinking 'weeping gorilla' 'burning giraffe' and 'death of god', which woud in no way be different from the last post, though 'prathama drishthiya' they are different the 'andhardhara' is quite 'sajeevam' rofl. And the jokes that i laugh to i feel that from the begining of time i have been laughing to only 1 kind of quite easy jokes while i am totally invulnerable to the rest of the comedy. But now i will talk about the 3 subjects i had mentioned viz weeping gorilla, burning giraffe, god is dead
Now weeping gorilla is a comic strip inside the comic called promethea by Alan Moore who is the only comic artist i have read, but this pattern of the story inside another story (comic i mean) can be seen in more than one of his works, probably comes out of the importance he gives to a media that i had such difficult in discovering ( hopefully only in india for every comic is quite an awesome read). In watchmen there is this pirate comic that an unimportant character ( guy in the newspaper stand where rorshach goes to buy newspaper...(c'mon) ) reads. The story of the black freighter is about the freighter almost like the davy jones flying dutchman, ship that takes in lost or sinned souls in and make them work like it is hell. The comic stays inside the story for it kinda blends in with the comic in the mood. But in the end I felt that it is the mental situation of the least encountered but very important Adrian Veidt. He even mentions that he often dreams of sometimes swimming towards a dark dirty ship in the night, during his last talk with Dr. Manhattan after he fucks up everything by designing a psychoactive alien creature.
Now in promethea, there is weeping gorilla. It appears as a comic strip that is run in the Promethea world. Like the one shown in the picture it is always one monkey face thinking one bubble of thought that is of the same as in this one. When the protagonist wanders in the imagination land in the story where we are totally under the control of our imagination and emotion the ape become so unbearably pitiable. She listens to its issues even as she understands they he is saying all those cliched self-pitying thoughts, she sobs saying "oh that poor monkey". I kinda sensed a certain similarity between this monkey and the mega serials that run our mallu tv channels. Probably i m wrong. What is great about the strip is that it builds the mood so with that one bubble of thought and the gorilla. The book is very knowledgeable and extremely well drawn but the slowest i have read so far.
