Hello all my wonderful and dearly beloved Patrons! I'm so excited to be doing the final episode of The Sandman, though it might not be the last one forever. It is, however, the last one for now. 

I loved the beginning of this volume and I could totally leave off the ending and feel totally satisfied. Apparently I'm not alone in that. 


I am running late for work, so I'm going to have to run, but thank you all again, and I will see you tomorrow with The Wire!

I was tickled to hear that my little note created a mini-discussion on tattoos. One of the main reason I was re-reading Sandman was to make sure I still enjoy the series enough to have something from it tatted on me. As for my own tattoo idea, it was basically trying to get as much of that beautiful two-page spread of the starry night from Brief Lives onto my upper arm. I would like to get as much of Destruction's speech as well, but I believe I would have to settle with, "But from here, I can pretend..." It has been one of my favorite lines in the series, having even used it for my senior quote. It goes towards other quotes I like that are seemingly pessimistic, but nevertheless tinged with a little hope and optimism, like the title to an Ozu film, "I was born, but..." and this from an interview with one of my favorite director, Vittorio De Sica: "I am basically an unhappy man. Life gives me always the impression of cruelty. I read the newspaper - crimes, murders, divorces, and so on. I do not find evidence of sincerity or solidarity there. I love humanity, I trust humanity, but humanity has a way of disillusioning me. The pictures I direct are nearly always melancholy. This comes from the contrast between my love and my disillusion. I am an optimist. I love life. I seek perfection. If my art seems pessimistic, it is a consequence of my continuing optimism and its disillusion. At least I have enthusiasm." Now, onwards to The Golden Compass!
