Episode 1477 Talkback - BOMC: The Sandman: The Doll's House

Adam_Murdough

A beautiful dream recurs, as our comics-conscious conventicle recongregates for the second in a series of Book-of-the-Month episodes devoted to Neil Gaiman's Sandman. In the second volume, 'The Doll's House,' interludes set in the past afford us precious glimpses into the past doings, dealings, and dalliances of Dream; while, in the present, Morpheus stalks a few of his wayward subjects and contends with a dangerous 'dream-vortex'... named Rose. Let the Geeks be your Gaiman-gushing guides on this tour through the tiny, fragile rooms of the human imagination! (1:52:10)

Was thinking, I believe in this episode the CGS crew discussed whether or not they would opt to "live forever" if they could. Got me curious what the impact would be on @Adam_Murdough‌ and his time bubble? Would this allow him to catch up to current comic continuity? Or would he continue to fall behind even further?

I can answer this Adam would be so far behind that he would have to house his unread longboxes in the Costco from Idiocracy.
You know in those post apocalypse movies where there is a junk man sitting on huge piles of lost technology and his house looks like if you pull down that useless toaster then they would all be crushed? That would be the unread backissues in the Immortal Murd's Time Bubble.
