I would like to know if anyone noticed that at one point, Laurie wears the same earrings that Jon gave to Jenny Slater. Jenny is pictured wearing them several times; notably, she wears them on page 11 of Chapter II, "Absent Friends."

Laurie is also pictured wearing these earrings. I believe also multiple times, but specifically I can point to page 21 of Chapter IV. ("Watchmaker.")

- What do you think this say about Jon, Janey, and Laurie?

- I don't like Jon. I know below eightbitsamurai and kleinbl00 talk about Rorsarch and characters they don't like but feel maybe they are supposed to like. I on the other hand feel I am supposed to be more positively inclined towards Jon and I am less.

- On the other hand I love the character of the Comedian (although his actions are deplorable; there is something about him being unrepentantly himself, genuine, and "not sold out" to the end that I admire -YES I KNOW HE'S A TERRIBLE MAN) and I also am fond of Rorsarch. I am always sad when spoilers spoilers spoilers

I am sad, though, that Jon's dad made him quit the watch-working way of business.

I have been reading slowly to pick up on minute details. Also - I'll have to go out and take a picture in a bit - but I have some memorabilia to show you guys. It's just a small thing but I like it.
