Like a cyclist I have to keep pedalling, to keep moving, in order not to fall down

I visited the Million Year Picnic earlier tonight; I had just been discussing Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005–2008) and, being reminded of how much I loved that show, thought I would finally check out some of the comics. Sadly, I cannot afford to buy any of the complete arcs right now, especially not the nice hardcover editions. So I went to browse Raven Used Books to console myself and seem to have ended up with a biography of Wittgenstein.

This is my life.

Have you ever heard the song "Canada Haunts Me," by They Might Be Giants?

For you we need the song "Wittgenstein Haunts Me."

I am entirely unsurprised.

I do like the comics; they're worth picking up from the library or something if one near you has them available. They do a nice job of showing how "we defeated the bad guy; hurrah" is not the end of the story, and building the peace can be just as difficult and complex a job as winning the war.

I've been rewatching it with Addy. We're a dozen episodes in, and she's declared she wants to be a superhero when she grows up. And Zuko is her favorite.
