Time Again

Willa Cartha postulated that you can boil everything down to but seven narratives. And here I guess layabout teenage slacker who is the central figure of a future society is given guidance to keep them on course, with monitors making sure to keep time streams separate, is one of the seven narratives. The funny thing here is that Evan Dorkin once posted on the comics journal message board on working at Jim Hanley's Universe and just scratching his head at the releases from Archie -- Jughead's Time Police -- as a bizarre nonsensical premise and title.

After all these years, I end up thinking the Bill and Ted comic book was Evan Dorkin's best work (or, starting with the third issue when he was able to make his own this work for hire off a movie property he never watched based on a sub-cultural milieu he distrusted). With Pirate Corps / Hectic Planet, I land on a "yep. Certainly had relationship problems as a twenty-somethinger. And he really likes ska", and Milk and Cheese it is a "yeah. There they are violently assaulting whatever was just popular just then for a flash of a moment in the 1990s. Again." So it was good to see him come back to it when a third movie was released -- but as with whatever it was that had fantasies of slacker adolescents worshipped as dieties in a future beyond 1987/1989 and 1988 -- we are these days in an era " call back"s / meta referencing -- screens showing previous versions of the characters.

Being the snob from a noble family, she seems to think her country is far superior to other countries, and because of that, Digger challenged her to a small race. But behind her confident exterior lies a disturbed soul. Due to her father being a very insignificant person who has no role inside or outside the family, she desires to marry someone who is strong. Furthermore, being the sole heir of the family fortune after her family died in a train accident, she was forced to protect it from those who wanted to steal it. After racing with Digger, she starts showing an interest in him (being the only man who did not back down from her challenge) and affectionately calls him "Digs", which confuses him but lets her call it afterwards. Like her fellow RA racers, she does not like cheating and despises Sal.

But on the other hand his personality is more pleasant than that of first sight. 

Johan Uber (Supa Strikars)

- The German racer of RA and football star. Johan is known for his strategic prowess and the biggest cheater out of all the RA racers but he despises Sal, the same hatred towards him like the rest of his fellow RA racers.
