爆漫

看了我一生人覺得最好看的漫畫。

輕易就把一樣東西(漫畫)解構。把它拆解,再重組,沒有一點的學術說教化。然後同一時間,分飾兩個角色分別站在漫畫圈中和漫畫圈外,互相領悟這圈內圈外時空交錯。我則輕輕的在圈圈的圈外,感受界線的模糊。

最厲害的是,這竟然可承熱血,載平淡。如壽司師父的刀鋒下,使生命的掙扎提升到一種靜態的藝術,讓沉澱在咀嚼中再一次瘋狂。

日本少年漫畫不可小覷。
整套買吧,你不會後悔的。

Greetings



Launched in the early 1970s Pioneer 10 and 11 were appropriately named - becoming the first spacecraft to travel through the asteroid belt, first to fly by Jupiter and Saturn, and the first human artifacts to venture beyond the solar system. Now coasting through interstellar space, they carry with them greetings in the form of a gold anodized plaque with symbolic drawings as illustrated above.

The male and female figures are drawn to the same scale as the Pioneer spacecraft shown behind them. Immediately to the left is a map of the position of the sun with respect to nearby pulsars (... or pulsating radio objects..... whatever that means) and the center of the galaxy while below is a drawing of the solar system indicating the planet of origin. In the upper left is a schematic of two fundamental states of the hydrogen atom.

These diagrams along with other details of the plaque were designed by Carl Sagan of Cornell University and are intended to be decipherable by spacefaring extraterrestrial civilizations.
