Rorschach

Here's Rorschach.

I have mixed feelings about Zach Snyder's dumbed down version of Alan Moore's masterpiece "The Watchmen." But I have been a fan of Rorschach since an old boss at a comic book store back in '87 sent me home with the first 4 issues of "The Watchmen," which I devoured.

I was immediately drawn to Rorschach, his cut and dry simplistic take on good and evil hasn't ever really coincided with my own beliefs, but the absoluteness of his integrity even in the face of Armageddon can't be argued with.

For a while I emulated Rorschach, stealing his signature and adopting is as my own, singing my drawings with a set of mirrored r's.

Unfortunately the masses will get their first taste of Rorschach from Snyder's film, which changes the birth of Rorschach and thus alters the character's madness unforgivably...

There was some stuff I liked, but after giving it a couple of days to sink in I say
if you need to "watch" The Watchmen, stick to the motion comic instead.

At any rate, here is my take on R.

Enjoy!
