        No, that’s a myth. Mirrors don’t flip anything, that’s an artifact of our perception. Here’s an experiment you can do to convince yourself of it: take a picture of your image in the mirror using your phone. See? Not reversed! Its wild the things we can make ourselves believe.

            In those, the shirt is itself flipped, because the person is facing the mirror

            If you have a transparent sheet with writing on it, what you see and whats in the mirror will match

              exactly!
              and when you’re checking yourself out in the mirror, and say you’re hungover or something, and you flip out? Who’s doing the flipping in that situation? The mirror? Obviously not.
              I rest my case.

      Whenever I think of Melonpool, I think of Jalea

      In her prime, she overcame her origins as a mean-spirited joke to become the two most important things Melonpool could possibly have had in a single character: For the Star Trek side of it, she was the outsider who had to grow beyond her programming and learn what it means to be human, thereby teaching us something about ourselves. And for the puppet side of it, she was the regular human surrounded by muppets, giving them something to bounce off of and enhancing the production as a result.
      Yet every alternate timeline and reboot has taken those things away from her, never to give them back.
      Was her arc really an accident?! Did Steve Troop not realize what he had? I guess I’ll never know, because none of the alternate timeline/reboot shenanigans were ever resolved. Her one happy ending, implied to be the original timeline, sits as an abandoned arc. Buried in the archive.
      If Steve Troop ever goes back to the old drawing board, I hope he gives her the justice she’s due. She was my favorite character in Melonpool.

    Never underestimate a nerd and their love of specific comics/movies/books/games/etc. That’s what we live for, to immerse ourselves in this world we enjoy. Unlike the real world where immersion is hampered by fear of death.

    …okay, so the only part of Melonpool I’ve read was the Walky crossover. Did the Duplomatic mirror its duplicates right and left like Ressurection Chambers do? Because I’m pretty sure Anti-Head Alien was drawn with his claw on the right in later Walkyverse stuff.

    • Jeff K!

      August 6, 2022 at 1:02 am | #

      I believe it did, actually. I’m not going to check, but I think there was a point where someone with an eye patch got dup-o-maticked and it was mirrored.

    • Dave
      Dave
      August 6, 2022 at 2:25 am | #

      Anti-Head Alien’s was left-handed and right-clawed, because he got duplicated prior to Head Alien’s death and resurrection. (I just went back and verified that his claw is on his right hand in every comic he appears in, with the exception of his post-bodysnatching tagged appearance.) When Head Alien becomes the Cheese and hijacks Anti-Head Alien’s body, he gets mirrored via Cheese powers to match Head Alien’s right-handed left-clawed post-resurrection appearance for the rest of the comic.

      Buuuuuuuut since Head Alien/Dexter appears to be a less outrageously violent and murdery character in his DOA comics/cartoons, I’m guessing the whole died-and-resurrected business never happened there and he was always right-handed, hence the alternative explanation for why Anti-Dexter is a southpaw.

          So I’ve never read the Walkyverse aside from a bit of Roomies and the more I hear about it the more confused I get. Apparently, Booster was a stick, Carla was a car, and Ronald Reagan shoes up at some point? That’s wild.

            August 6, 2022 at 1:02 pm | #

            Carla was a talking car. Reagan worked in a toy store.

            There was a Power Booster Rod, but there’s no more real connection there than the name. Unlike Ultra Car, who was an actual character that Carla is the DOA version of.

            It’s uneven, but it’s definitely worth reading the old stuff. Especially with Willis’s modern commentary on it.

        She’d better work on those social skills if she’s going to be a politician. Oh, right, she probably still thinks politics is driven by issues and policies. I sense a very rude awakening in her future.

      No, it’s a party, not her walking into their room to bug them, she made a passing comment and left, no worse than Amber’s snarky comment about Dorothy’s costume.

      Dorothy’s not in great shape. See the smile a couple days ago.

      This is definitely her flirting with Walky here. Only question is whether it’ll be effective.

      Is this what broke him and Amber up?

Wanted to add that we literally just saw a white woman get a million dollars for calling a black child a racial slur. So maybe black creators discussing the topic do not want to lend their hypervisibility to a bigot via tagging so that bigot makes money off their racist content.
teaberryblue.net's user avatarTea Berry-Blue @teaberryblue.net ⋅ 2d
Don’t feel like platforming certain folks but talking critically about abhorrent views that should not be accepted in our community without tagging the person responsible is not bullying & particularly accusing BIPOC folks of bullying for objecting to racism is gross.

NEW: “Former LA Deputy Mayor of Public Safety Plead Guilty to Threatening to Bomb City Hall Last Year” Sounds like the deputy mayor called in a fake bomb threat in an attempt to set up pro-Palestine organizers. Wonder what the city attorney's role is in all of this: www.justice.gov/usao-cdca/pr...
Former Los Angeles Deputy Mayor of Public Safety Agrees to Plead Guilty to Threatening to Bomb L.A. City Hall Last Year
Approximately 10 minutes later, Williams sent a text message to the Los Angeles Mayor and several high-ranking city officials in the Mayor’s office and falsely reported, “Bomb threat: I received phone call on my city cell at 10:48 am this morning. The male caller stated that ‘he was tired of the city support of Israel, and he has decided to place a bomb in City Hall. It might be in the rotunda.’ I immediately contacted the chief of staff of LAPD, they are going to send a number of officers over to do a search of the building and to determine if anyone else received a threat.” In fact, Williams had not received such a call.
