Alexx's Patreon Update: January 2019

Productivity continues, after some loss of time due to seasonal depression. Less than last year, at least…

• Helped annotate Cinema Purgatorio #16, dealing with the life and death of George Reeves, TV’s Superman. Naturally, Moore has strong feelings about the corporate exploitation of this classic character.
• Annotated about half of section 11 of “Round the Bend”, Audrey Vernall, in which Lucia meets one of the central (if elusive) characters of Jerusalem, Alma’s cousin Audrey. I wonder if Moore was feeling depressed when he worked on this section. Within the space a few sentences, I found the words “inkwaste” (inquest / waste of ink) and “boregaim” (bargain / bore (Neil) Gaiman). Didn’t finish this, however, due to the big news:
• Jess Nevins having too much paying work to annotate League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: The Tempest, I am part of a team that is now (with his blessing) working on this project. I worked up issue #1, based on Jess’ notes, but adding lots more, and am busily helping out on issues 2-4.
• The usual integration of useful comments on the various projects.
