OK, let's try it.

I'll not try to directly figure out which one has no jolt. Rather, I will
try to identify who is telling the truth.

I will assume each one in turn is telling the truth and test it.

Attempt 1
---------
Assume MX 1 tells the truth. Mx 2 & 3 are lying.
Lever 1 has no jolt, so 2 & 3 must.
Mx 2 says he has a jolt, so he is telling the truth.
This test fails.

Attempt 2
---------
Assume Mx 2 tells the truth. Mx 1 & 3 are lying.
Lever 2 has a jolt.
Since Mx 1 is lying, Lever 1 has a jolt.
Mx 3 says Lever 1 has a jolt, so he is telling the truth.
This test fails.

Attempt 3
---------
Assume Mx 3 tells the truth. Mx 1 & 2 are lying.
Mx 1 says no jolt, so Lever 1 must have a jolt.
Mx 2 says jolt, so Lever 2 must have no jolt.
Mx 3 says Lever 1 has a jolt. He is telling truth, as I assumed.
This test passes.

Conclusion
----------
Mx 3 is telling the truth.
Lever 2 is safe to throw because it has no jolt.

The best idea is to find someone who owns the entire set of phonebooks and read
them all, then get the one you liked best as a gift.  A friend of mine once 
advised me "If you're gonna start reading Cerebus, ***never*** just get one 
issue.  Always start with at least five continuous."  This is sound advice, but
some areas of the story require more than 5 issues to be understood.  Cerebus 
is well written in that you can't summarize 150 issues of it in less than oh, 
10 issues, without losing everything meaningful.  And no way can you jump in 
the middle and really know what is happening.  Oddly, Melmoth can be read 
almost on its own...since it is really a retelling of the decline and fall of 
Oscar Wilde and doesn't really require much background.  Heck, Cerebus doesn't 
move much during it all.

I'm still sticking to my Decoration theory until I hear otherwise. B{)

Let's see. The last time we saw Death wasn't Shawn McManus the artist? I
seem to recall Shawn's interpretation made her look 'rounder' than previous
Death appearances. So if you compared the two, she does seem to have lost
weight. On the other hand, she's about the same as in The Beating of Wings
or Facade (hope I have those titles right.)

Thompson doesn't draw Death with the eye squiggle. At least, she hasn't yet. 

Other odds and ends from #43

Notice the "Sweeney Todd - The Musical" Posters? Hard to miss.

Etain, ? the woman that escapes the gas explosion, looks somewhat like 
Jill Thompson. Well, the hair anyway. The purse too. Not sure if this is 
significant or not. Will we be seeing a man dressed in black wearing 
sunglasses? 

BTW, I'm not sure which is worse: a gas explosion or K-Mart.

Nice car. Looks like a Morgan. (The anglophile in me would like the
steering wheel to be on the right, but that's a nit.) Should be interesting
to see what Delirium does to it.

All in all, this is rapidly turning into my favorite story arc. I especially
like the way the stuff of everyday dreams is being introduced.

Uh-huh.  What "trash" was this?  I ran a comic shop during the B&W boom
and I certainly don't remember Fantagraphics buying into any of the sleazy
fast-buck trends that were going on at the time. 

Gary Groth is a fanboy snob in the same sense that Pauline Kael or David
Halliwell are fanboy snobs -- they love their medium (be it comics or
film), and they hate how it rarely rises above the level of sloppy lowest-

Halliewell, but he's all we've got.

OK, OK. I was going to do that anyway.

For some odd reason, Despair reminded me a lot of Cerebus in issue #41.
Maybe because she looked short compared to her brother or maybe they have
the same scowl. 'Course, Destruction/Dissipation/Decoration's happy attitude
made him look a little like Elrod.

I have just read Eclipso #2 (the conclusion) and... well I'll put

spoiler.....






Well in the issue Eclipso does not get destroyed (permanantly).
Even though I liked the character, comic companies continuosly
keep crossover characters alive at the conclusion of each crossover.
For once I would like to see a crossover character completely 
crushed and destroyed.... oh well so much for dreaming!!

Okay, so in the issue Starman bites the bullet.  Even though I don't
read Starman (well only during a crossover with Superman) I quite liked
his character from what I read.  Is he gone for good?

Also people have been trying to put the last message on "rec.arts.comics"

This guy sounds _vaguely_ similar to a villain I recall from Marvel's
"New Universe", namely The Overshadow (he "overshadows" other
paranormals).  He had some run-ins with the D.P.7 group until he was
utterly defeated by the Star Brand.

I wonder how Gideon would do against the awesome combination of Leach

Elfquest fans will appreciate this issue for some wonderful
artwork, though probably not for the story.  

The story itself is unimpressive:  Tyleet finds and adopts
a mutant.  (We're never told what his powers are, but physical
stigmata include extra fingers and toes, cropped ears and
impaired hearing, anomalous size -- probably the result of a
hormonal imbalance -- and distorted coloration.)  She tries
to raise the mutant as a wolfrider, but his genetic defects
make this impossible, and he ends up dying.


Do the wolfriders really eat their babies' umbilical cords?
How about the afterbirth?


There's an ad to the effect that the tape "A Wolfrider's
Reflections" will be rereleased in a couple of months.  Some
of the songs on this tape are so-so, but several are superb --
and more than worth the cost of the tape.

And there's an Elfquest/Harbinger crossover coming:  Someone
needs to tell the Pinis that there's a limit to brand loyalty!

On the other hand, I thought Hulk #399 ranked up there with Peter's best
work. Very powerful story which had extremely well integrated humor as
well as a moderately subtle poking at the convention of bringing characters
back from the dead. The only flaw I could find with it didn't occur to
me until several hours after I'd read it in advance form at San Diego, namely
that Rick never mentions Mar-Vell at all. On the other hand, it could be
argued that the necessary exposition would have weakened the story.
