Rocky Horror, baby! Tonight is the last time I’ll be watching “Rocky Horror” live at the Michigan Theater as an undergrad at Michigan and I wanted to talk about how I grew to love it these last couple of years. I realized it’s really a Halloween tradition I’m gonna miss once I graduate.
Continuing the spooky theme with a little comic about my favorite horror game! I don’t want to spoil it too much, but needless to say it’s a really amazing game with an atmosphere like no other.
(This video by Jacob Geller also really hits home why I love this game so much, check it out!)
“I’m saying I’ll hurt you if you stay”
Since it’s October, I think I’m gonna try to stick to making comics about horror/sci-fi media I really like! This week’s comic is about “The Fly” from 1986, a movie I haven’t stopped thinking about since I watched it.
TLDR: I LOVE FLEABAG!!!! SO MUCH!!! Stories about complicated women give me life and Fleabag is one of the very best.
(also if you want to see the NT Live One-Woman Show of Fleabag, they’re holding an encore show on October 7th at the Michigan Theater. I highly recommend it.)
(Actually not The End!!!)
All in all, this lecture made me truly excited for the future of communication and connectivity between people and the Earth. Most of the time when we think of real genuine connections we make with others and the Earth we don’t think about technology, in fact we think of getting away from technology or taking technology out of the equation altogether. “Getting back to our roots” so to speak. But what Riba and Harbisson have done is show us a way to stay together by redefining our relationships to our bodies and the world. And that’s neat!!!
You can watch this lecture and other older lectures via this link.
And you can watch the Penny Stamps lectures in real time nearly every Thursday at 5pm at the Michigan Theater! Information about upcoming lectures here.
* This article from The Mary Sue puts the ablism of Cyberpunk 2077 in better words than I ever could
**Riba actually considers herself a “Phantom Cyborg”, due to the fact that she no longer has that implant in her foot but she still thinks of it like a phantom limb.
I’M BACK Y’ALL!!! This is Marge! I make comics! And this comic about moving into my IP studio was drawn in my IP studio fun fact!
(Also, I promise I probably won’t be a cat again.)
