@Gallifreyan I just finished all of Sandman. And Overture. Don't have time, but would love to discuss it. (Perhaps another room because spoilers? We'll see.)
I also have Endless Nights in my possession, and hope to find the time to read it soon.
@BESW Me too :) ...this teacher also hadn't heard of McCloud before, so we had an interesting discussion about that after class.
 
1:04 AM
Yeah, I first heard of McCloud in my 300-level History of Comics class.
(Good class, but sadly lacking in webcomics or discussion of distribution infrastructure, for a course in the mid-2000s.)

Q: Having trouble remembering the name of a 1000 page book

vgchatAlright, I am having trouble recalling the name of a book I read in 1995. It was around 1000 pages (give or take 100, I can't remember). I believe the main plot was about a rabbit (or mouse) causing trouble for a gardener & running from him and his cat, retreating to his colony here & there. I...

@Bookworm I tagged this (since a tag like would obviously get misused). Any thoughts on the tag name?

@Shokhet This means I can now complete my answer to the Ruby question.
Congrats ヾ(*´∀`*)ノ

I'm tempted to call for a temporary memorium on closing recommendation questions to see if there's a way we can allow them
But on the other hand those deserve their own site, cause they would almost definitely flood out any other type of question on this site, no matter what kinds of restrictions we put on them

A: What do we think about story identification?

Shog9Identification questions are like... The cabbage, radishes and shredded carrots that some sushi shops put on the platter before stacking up the meat & rice. They make the plate look nice and full, and they're something to chew on once you've eaten all the meat... ...But no one goes to a sushi r...

 
@Hamlet you'd get downvoted through the bottom of hell
 
I would downvote myself because I'm opposed to them for philosophical reasons. But at the same time, if asked properly they would be (1) useful and (2) high quality.
The problem is that they would most likely drown out any other type of question.
But RE this site being unfriendly: one solution is to have questions that are easier and questions that are harder
See the tag.
The tag has useful, high-quality questions. The questions are also easier to answer.
IDK. There's which obviously isn't lit. crit. but those questions tend to be hard to answer; they just require a different skillset.
 
@Hamlet (or the broader tag)
 
If we could have a tag similar to that could make up 5-10% of questions on this site it would be very helpful.
@Randal'Thor I think renaming symbolism and meaning to and would be helpful as well
because that might be a rough guide to difficulty.
 
4:06 PM
@Hamlet The same with any other generally destructive question types, like ID. There's pearls everywhere.
@Hamlet Moratorium?

@Shokhet Since you're not afraid of spoilers now, you may find my The Sandman art collection interesting (beware of occasional mild NSFWness, though).

@Gallifreyan can those two messages be combined/mind if I edit to do that?
 
@Mithrandir Sure, as you wish

@Gallifreyan I'll check it out. I'm in school right now, so NSFW may be an issue.
D'you have a handy link for that collection?
