Watchmen...

I'm slow on this one...

Ok let's recap...

Uranium Willy -> U-238 Willy -> U238Willy. William S Burroughs had a character in 'Nova Express' (I'm pretty sure, and there might have been another spot.) called 'Uranian Willy' - The Heavy Metal Kid... etc.

So you can see that one of my favorite writers/spoken word people (now r.i.p.) is WSB... and then I see this.

Quote: Wiki page for 'Watchmen'
Moore named William S. Burroughs as one of his main influences during the conception of Watchmen. He admired Burroughs' use of "repeated symbols that would become laden with meaning"

Well color me surprised... I'll be reading the comic... then watching the 'Watchmen: Motion Comics' and seeing the actual motion picture too. In short order...

We'll see if I notice any homage or other lit. device.

william s burroughs, watchmen
