American Flagg! comic by Howard Chaykin
wikipedia
"The Plex has formed the Tricentennial Recovery Committee, to get America "back on track for '76", but the TRC is in reality a plan to sell the United States off to the new superpowers and to leech off the remaining inhabitants before gaining true self-sufficiency.
As a result, the Plex has outlawed non-combat related education, organized sports such as basketball and personal aircraft, restricted media to only one outlet, the Plex itself (although it has multiple channels), and advocates and glorifies the use of political violence amongst independent policlubs by providing money and firearms for its hit TV show Firefight All Night LIVE!, and covertly sterilizes the population by using a combination contraceptive and antibiotic called Mañanacillin to reduce the population." -
"...What I got was a damning assessment of humanity, via a deranged Sci-Fi interpolation of a possible future both harrowing and hilarious. A satirical commentary that was equal parts Philip K Dick paranoia, Bladerunner aesthetics, Hunter S Thompson political fever dream, John LeCarre espionage, Paul Verhoeven sex & violence, and Truman Capote grade camp. Manic, conspiratorial, with an almost John Wayne joins the Church of the SubGenius absurdity."

American Flagg IS The Uncanny Valley of the Future
...or a variation on a theme of a possible one. When I first picked up an issue of AF in the indie shelf at R&K Comics on the El Camino, I was only interested in the fact that it was created by Howard Chaykin, whose work on a proverbial reboot of The Shadow for DC Comics brought intense attention to a creator with a penchant for not only hard boiled crime noir, but a visual style that is still singular and inimitable (influenced as much by editorial and advertising illustrating legends like […]https://zeruch.wordpress.com/2026/01/15/american-flagg-is-the-uncanny-valley-of-the-future/

September Fifteen's "with the title 'biggest fan'"
"NAAN, how come for this one, you did two pairs from both your lists?"
:sickos: :sickos2:
The agenda...has become real...by my HAND!
1. Reuben/Alita: I had a different idea for them, where both were exchanging autographs or something--but that didn't really make sense for either one for different reasons. Then I remembered Alita played music once, Reuben's world is pretty retro with its music, and thus, a better idea was born.
The question is: is Reuben talking to Alita about himself or is he trying to get Alita to talk to Luther Ironheart, android helper of Plex Chicago? Maybe Clippy will know! :clippy:
2. Mitchell/Motoko: this is a pairing I've thought about for decades because once again (Matrix's Morpheus voice) ~machines~ The idea for this came immediate and easy to me--after all, you can talk to Motoko through cyberbrains if you have that. Mitchell can talk to machines at any level, in any way. He doesn't need that operation!
"Biggest fan" here then becomes more about what they are *listening* to, rather than about each other in contrast to the other pic.
Probably some Nirvana song that only Mitchell knows or something.

New #DollarBinDiscovery Episode!
For some reason, it felt like a good week to take on the theme "Stars & Stripes" and we both found some wild comics from the 80s! Mike fell in love with an issue of Scout, while Jessika badmouthed Santa Claus with the American Flagg Special!
