re: #499 Feline Fearless Leader

That was one of the main reasons I liked _Watchmen_ so much. It set a whole bunch of what I thought were the common comic books tropes on their heads. (Note: I am not a comic book buyer/reader, so I might not have a “true” grasp of what those tropes should be.)

It’s basically a deconstructionist look at comic-book archetypes. Like the masked vigilante (ie, Batman) who in Watchmen is best typified by Rorschach, who is arguably insane, and at the very least, profoundly mentally and emotionally disturbed.
