digitalhearts asked: Hi, Neil. I am currently in the middle of studying The Watchmen in my modern literature class (which is by far one of my favorite novels), and my teacher is basically implying that because it is a "graphic novel/comic book" it should not be considered "real literature". Any suggestions or points you have on trying to convince my overly pretentious teacher otherwise?
I wouldn’t bother. “Never try to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and it annoys the pig,” as Robert Heinlein once said.
I mean, you could...

The Berlin Wall, then and now.
Back to the Future.
Photographer Irina Werning started having people re-enact old photos of themselves, emulating the look and feel of the original in her process. Here’s what Irina has to say about the project:
I love old photos. I admit being a nosey photographer. As soon as I step into someone else’s house, I start sniffing for them. Most of us are fascinated by their retro look but to me, it’s imagining how people would feel and look like if they were to reenact them today… Two years ago, I decided to actually do this. So, with my camera, I started inviting people to go back to their future.
The photograph above, of a young Christoph chipping away at the Berlin Wall and his current self chipping away at the air, was particularly striking to me. See more of her images in the two appropriately-named galleries on her website: “Back to the Future” and “Back to the Future 2.”

Gaiman rhymes with layman, not Simon. Stop confusing me. I have evidence:

Neil Gaiman says his last name was originally Polish but was modified when it came to England.
