"The middle school I attended in Boston was the William Barton Rogers Middle School and the school had those signs on it," said Sean Colby, the citizen-historian who runs the website Fallout Five Zero. And thankfully, for him and the rest of us, there's a local citizen-historian in the area who has spent years researching and documenting the history of these signs. His own interest in them was roused some 20 years ago, as a boy.
Of course, LeMoult's building is just one of many in our area with one of these iconic black and yellow signs. "There’s this sign on the outside of our apartment building that says 'fallout shelter.' And I’ve been wondering for the longest time, what is the deal with this sign? What does it mean, how did that get designated, and is it any safer for us?" So did my colleague here at WGBH News, reporter Craig LeMoult, who was reminded of something that has long piqued his and his wife’s curiosity. And I don’t even wanna know what those white blobs are floating around her collarbones.īillytheskink takes over the reins with Monday’s strip.When I heard the recent news about the false emergency alert in Hawaii that warned a ballistic missile was incoming, my first reaction was, "That’s terrifying," followed quickly by, "What would I do if I got an alert message like that?" Perhaps you had a similar reaction. These floating bottles and cans are rendered in such odd shapes and sizes, so generically as to be almost abstract. To answer Phil’s question: the cover doesn’t need more trash, just for the trash to be realistically drawn. Is she standing underwater? Or mostly submerged, lying on her back on a vast bed of garbage?
Everything surrounding The OC’s face is soft and blurry. For an artwork created by a nonagenarian cartoonist, on a drawing board under a floating fluorescent lamp, this sure looks…digitized. While her posture is one of repose, her fists are clenched, and the Oceanaire gazes intently at the viewer. As clumsily composed as that cover was, at least it depicted action. No prizes for anyone who saw this coming: a Sunday Sideways Comic Book Cover, the Oceanaire’s second and James Pascoe’s third in three months.įor this one, Pascoe’s softened the character’s looks, compared to her first cover and especially compared to the Elementals Force cover, where she appears to be throwing up.
