My lovely friend and mutual @chandrayee asked if I'd read this comic and I had to check it out. I was not disappointed. I'm kind of embarrassed I haven't read it before. The book is called Persepolis and it has two volumes. The first one focuses mainly on the Islamic Revolution of 1979 and the 8-year-long war with Iraq. The story is told through the eyes of a child who grows up as the story moves forward. It could be considered a memoir since it is based on the actual childhood experiences of the writer, Marjane Satrapi.

The comic is not a history book, but it reflects the beliefs and opinions of people at that time. The book is valuable in addressing some of the most important instances of Iran's recent history. Since it is written based on the writer's real-life experience, the sentiments are sometimes not universal but based on personal opinion.

I like to put comments on every page of it. My parents were also very young when the revolution and war happened. Many of the things in the comic were stories I grow up hearing from my parents, especially the war stories.

So if you're curious to know more about pre and post Islamic Republic Iran from someone's point of view who lived through it, I recommend you give these books a go. Below are some sample pages.

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) literally said “We’re not gonna fix it” on camera when asked about the shooting in Tennessee. Of course he tried to justify it by saying criminals will be criminals, as if we have never changed or made laws at any point.

Wisps in the Americas

I can't say I know much about the historical background of this cartoon, but if you look on the right side, you'll see a barely-visible white light, which is supposed to be a will-o'-the-wisp.

Here's a not-great-quality zoomed in version focused more closely on the little wisp.

The background given by the Library of Congress is as follows:

About this Item: Title - Ignis fatuus / Th. Nast. Summary - Print shows men lurking in a swamp at nighttime; one man slices a poster entitled "Military Bill" with a knife; one man wears a hat that says "Ex-CSA"; snakes laugh in the foreground; and a will o' the wisp containing the words "Hope Connecticut" hovers over the water. Names - Nast, Thomas, 1840-1902, artist Created / Published - 1867

I wonder how wisps have managed to become a coherent, popularized singular type of entity in the modern day. I have no doubt that there was evolution (and likely appropriation) from some previous entities to the present idea of a wisp. Perhaps finding out when the European motif of wisps reached the United States will assist me in solving the puzzle of what previous entities or phenomena added characteristics to today's depictions of wisps.
