Also like, “if you make a thing of pulling out your bowel disruptor and shooting people with it all the time, they’ll forget that you could have a gun”, that’s actually a pretty good, widely applicable lesson

i think spider's politics being sort of empty, generic anti-authority libertine libertarianism is *also* a pretty good reflection of the 90s

I want at least a somewhat more serious take on Transmetropolitan, 90s culture is supposed to be your bag.
Well, that kinda was the take. The plot points were ‘90s contemporary future themed enough – that was the decade where with the Fear and Loathing movie we rediscovered Hunter S. Thompson as a hero – but the themes themselves weren’t particularly '90s. What was The Smiler trying to do that Spider was trying to thwart? Did it have anything interesting to say about neoliberalism, or Clintonian realignment, or anything?

What's the official Kontextmaschine™ take on Transmetropolitan, the comic book by Warren Ellis?
That virus Spider picks up from the advertisements ranks up there with the Nam-Shub of Enki as weird ‘90s attempts to process HIV and postmodernism at the same time
