»Nur um’s zusammen zu fassen: sexuell progressive Kulturen bescherten uns Literatur, Philosophie, Zivilisation und den ganzen Rest, während sexuell restriktive Kulturen uns das Finstere Mittelalter und den Holocaust einbrockten. Ich versuche aber freilich nicht, mein Argument zu überfrachten.«
— #AlanMoore: »Sumpf-Venus gegen Nazi-Penis-Ring. Einige Gedanken zur Pornographie«
Reminded of a certain war criminal's (HK) demise while watching the motion-comic version of #Watchmen, although it's shocking how long it's taken for that to be true.

#AlanMoore Alan Moore, transformer of #comics, legendary Swamp Thing writer, creator of V for Vendetta, Watchmen, From Hell, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, and much more besides, turns 70 today. Many happy returns!
(Moore is not on the internet, so I’m just shouting this into the void, but he supposedly has an assistant who is and can bring him “pornography, cute pictures of cats and abusive messages from people,” so you never know.)
In the past twenty years or so this poem has gotten connected to and celebrated in the masterpiece V FOR VENDETTA written by Alan Moore and illustrated by David Lloyd. It truly is one of the greatest graphic novels ever created.
If you've never read the book or have only seen the very good film version I highly recommend it. It is brilliant.
