Rorshach's sugar?

In Watchmen, Chapter XI on page 3, there are a few panels showing Rorshach eating a sugar cube, then a large panel at the bottom showing it drifting in the wind as they drove away. I was thinking about it, but I can't really see a significance to the sugar cube? I wouldn't think anything of it, except for it's so prominent in that bottom image. Minor plot point, I know, but any thoughts?

So...turning away from Ghost World...

So I was just wondering, what do you guys think is the best part of Watchmen. The story really doesn't come together until the very end, but I think the most exciting/emotionally satisfying part is when Jon discovers his respect for life, despite his omnipotence. Then the whole novel kind of went downhill. For me at least.COMMENT.

Ghost World as a title

We discussed this a bit in class, but what do you all think about the title of Ghost World? What meaning does it hold and what might have made Clowes choose it?

Plot of Ghost World

Once again, my kaleidoscopic brain has once again skipped over a crucial detail. What is the plot of the first five chapters? I can see the plot of chapters six to eight, but not of the chapters preceding them. Can we establish this for me?

Enid and Josh

Do Enid and Josh have sex? I thought they did, but other people disagreed. Maybe, it's purposefully unclear. Please comment and we can find out the class's opinion as a whole.

Ghost World

How many of us have finished Ghost World? Did anyone else find it odd that Enid seems to hate many things or people that have similar beliefs to herself? Is that the sort of conflicted-angstyness that was supposedly thoughout the book?

Comics for Learning?

As I was reading through some of the links on our blog, I got distracted and ended up on the following website: http://www.geocities.com/misteryang/comicsedu/index.html. It discusses the work of Sones in 1944. Sixty-four years ago, his studies proved that readers, especially those of "low and middle intelligence levels" learned more with pictures and text than they had with only text. If this happened so long ago, then why (in your opinion) are we just now getting around to implementing 'graphic novels' into our curriculum?
