Questionable Content - Though I don't get any of the indie rock references, the rest of the comic is clever fun (and a Dune reference! ha!)---(and another!)

"You are the One. You are kali. You are the sword, you are the arrow. You are the symbol of victory." - inscription on a Sikh sword at the Smithsonian Natural History museum (I was tempted to scratch something about it being Neo's sword on the sign when no one was looking, except I thought the inscription was too badass to mess with)

      Random points of interest: aren't fountains intriguing? They are like sculptures, but instead of being made of a seemingly permanent medium like stone or metal, they partially or entirely made of a medium that is practically a definition of shifting protean...er...ness.
      There's this line in Heretics of Dune that I thought was nicely finessed. Basically, a city on the hyper-arid planet Dune/Rakis is being described, and right after it is noted that the priests' tower is the tallest building in the city, it's noted that there is a windtrap (a device for collecting water) that is higher. So, in effect, while the priests seem to have their proper place in terms of the apparent power structure (they're actually at the bottom, between the lines, besides the point), the need to gather water by a means identical to that of the peasants' method is placed in a more dominant position - establishing its place in the power structure.

I enjoyed this line:
"And Max took one step forward and became death, the world catching fire at his touch."
