    At the Gutter: Nothing Ape Is Strange To Me

    culturalgutter:

    Carol writes about relatability via Planet of the Apes.

    I’m surrounded by a stack of comics and one illustrated novel all set in the same world as that 1968 film, The Planet of the Apes and my head is swirling with Cicero.  I’ve been thinking about why I prefer one comic to the other, what exactly it means for a character to be relatable and what it means to be a person. As an ape, nothing ape is strange to me.

    “9th and Hennepin” set to nice footage of a train traveling Chicagoland. (And, yeah, 9th and Hennepin is in Minneapolis, not Gary or Chicago).
