Made it! Monday.

In light of last night’s announcement that Indiana University will be extending spring break an extra week and will transition to online-only courses for the remainder of the semester, it seems that our digital public sociology project may last longer than originally anticipated. So, as we head into months of uncertainty, we will do a weekly social media roundup each Monday that chronicles the strategies our community used to cope with uncertainty and isolation through the past week. Here is what our folks have been up to:

Exploring the great indoors

Eric Wright (@SocTransplant on Twitter) took a break from dissertation writing to introduce his nearly 3-year-old to the wonderful world of video gaming and e-sports. 

The more studious among us, Nora Weber’s cat Edith, got cozy with the American Sociological Review on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Follow more of Edith’s intellectual journey on Twitter @NoraJWeber

Social scientist by day, food scientist by night, Alisha Kirchoff (@alkirchoff on Twitter and Instagram) separated and labeled her latest batch of kombucha after their secondary fermentation. Extra probiotics can’t hurt our chances against COVID-19!

Welcome to Fresh Air

Katie Beardall volunteers at PALS, a local organization that provides theraputic support with horses. Although their services are reduced at this time, the animals still need care so she spent some time feeding and grooming with a couple of IU Sociology kiddos along for the ride. For all of your horse content needs, follow her on Twitter: @k_beard12.

With the closure of campus workout facilities, the only heavy lifting Pam Hong (@pamelamhong on twitter) and can do is intellectual these days. So, she has taken to the open road to get that heart rate up and stress down with a run.

Monica Heilman and friends explored one of Bloomington’s beautiful, paved rail trails with a group of friends to gain perspective and social interaction, at a safe one-meter distance, of course. Find her on Twitter @writingmonicker.

Calling Mary Berry

There’s a Russian proverb that cautions, “Don’t open your mouth to eat another’s bread” but in this case, you might want to make an exception. Anne Kavalerchik make this beautiful boule over the weekend that looks so good we want to lick the screen. See this and other bae-kes on Twitter: @annekav_

A loaf that even Paul Hollywood would admire! Adam Nicholson crafted this gorgeous banana bread with the help of Roxanne Gay. Bless up for Audible! Find Adam on Twitter: @NicholsonSoc

***

That’s a full lid, folks! Now it’s time to figure out how we are going to write and teach fully online for the rest of the term! Stay well and keep in touch.

I personally have to say that I have been a huge fan of these comics so far.  With them being official Star Wars canon you get some back story that you might not find anywhere else.  But the real thing with these comics is that they make me feel like a kid again.  It reminds me of the old Uncle Scrooge comics that you would read back in the day growing up. The colors are incredible and artist(s) have done an amazing job.  The stories are simple and easy to follow and while important they do not feel as serious as some of the other comics out there right now.  With the easy to follow stories this makes for a good read for both adults and kids.

You typically get at least two stories out of these books and of course in this issue you get two stories with one of them being a “to be continued” which just adds to the excitement and expectations of the next issue coming out.  One story always seems to include the characters we already know and the other story introduces us to some new characters in the Star Wars Universe.

I was able to find two covers available at my local comic shop.

Both covers are fun and colorful and quick to grab your eye.  Thankfully my comic shop knows I like to collect my covers and pulled both of them aside for me.

SPOILERS AHEAD

    So there isn’t much to say about these stories without telling you the whole story available in this book

In this issue the first story is, The Trouble at Tibrin, and we find Luke and Leia on a diplomatic mission to the planet Tibrin.  With them are a couple overly eager crew members that just don’t know when to stop talking that lands Luke and Leia into some hot water.   It was nice in this story to see some credit given to Episode 1 and a ship similar to what we see Queen Amidala flying around on.

In the second story we find our typical characters Emil, Noni, and CR-8R (also known as Crater) and a short flash back story of some characters we get briefly introduced to.  The story is short and I think it’s meant to help teach kids life lessons and how to make the best decision for both themselves and those around them.

Overall I give this issue a 10/10.

I came into this series skeptical because it looked like they were going to be childish and not appealing to adults but at this point I am content with this series and plan to keep reading them.  The artwork and coloring is impressive and I plan to introduce this series to my kids.

Vworp Vworp! Volume 3

Latest from the news site: Volume 3 of Vworp Vworp! has just been released and contains an exclusive in-depth interview with comics writer Alan Moore, a free Dalek CD, new comic strips, and much more. The special bumper 208-page edition explores Alan Moore’s Doctor Who backup strips, published in Doctor Who Weekly and Monthly in 1980 and 1981. Featuring the Cybermen, the Autons and the Time Lords, these strips were not only Alan’s very first professional work, but would go on to influence both comics and Doctor Who in ways he could never have foreseen. Barns recalls his 1980 tale, Black Legacy:I decided that if I couldn’t use Daleks then the next biggest Doctor Who enemy would probably be the Cybermen... As I understood it, the main part of the Cybermen ethos was efficiency, and a kind of a hygiene. Physical and mental disease would be completely unknown to the Cybermen. So I thought, what if there was something that could reintroduce these forgotten terrors to this race that has evolved beyond the fear of mental and physical illness?Barns also shares his idea for the ultimate Doctor Who TV story, and the magazine talks to the artists who worked on Barnes’s Doctor Who strips, John Stokes and V for Vendetta’s David Lloyd. The magazine also features a brand new full-cast audio play written by Kaldor City’s Alan Stevens, with sound design by Alistair Lock. This one-off homage is available only with Vworp Vworp! and is inspired by The Mechanical Planet, a comic strip published in 1965. The play stars David Graham, beloved as Parker from Thunderbirds, and who, alongside Peter Hawkins, provided the original voice of the Daleks from their first appearance in 1963 through to the epic story The Daleks’ Master Plan. As the Golden Emperor of the Daleks, David voices a Dalek for the first time since 1966. The cast is completed by Sasha Mitchell, best remembered as Arlen, the Federation officer who brought down Blake’s 7 in the final shocking episode transmitted just over 25 years ago. The Mechanical Planet is only available with the magazine on CD and, for a lucky few with the TV Century 21 issue cover, a proper vinyl 7-inch record, created in homage to the brilliant 1965 Century 21 record that featured highlights from the final episode of The Chase with narration by David Graham. Also in this edition * THE DALEK CHRONICLES RETURN: Deadline to Doomsday, an exciting seven-part Dalek strip, was begun by the late artist Ron Turner in 1997 and completed seamlessly for Vworp Vworp! by Dalek artist supremo Lee Sullivan and Charlie Kirchoff. * BRAND NEW COMIC STRIPS: A bittersweet coda to TV Century 21’s Robot Agent 2K, showcasing the work of writer Tim Quinn and artist Tim Keable. Also the stunning multi-Doctor epic The Woman Who Killed the Doctor, written by Daniel O’Mahony and drawn by Steve Andrew, and The Lawman, an authentic Doctor Who Weekly-style back-up strip penned by John Peel and drawn by Baz Renshaw. * TV CENTURY 21: Prolific science fiction author Stephen Baxter (The Massacre of Mankind; Doctor Who: The Wheel of Ice), together with Alan Stevens and Fiona Moore (authors of The Unofficial and Unauthorised Guides to Blake’s 7/The Prisoner/Battlestar Galactica) lead us through an in-depth analysis of these extraordinary Dalek strips and their close cousins in the much-loved 1960s and 1970s Dalek annuals. There is a profile the artists, Richard Jennings, Eric Eden and Ron Turner; while Tat Wood put the strips in context with a detailed examination of Dalekmania in general; horror author Stephen Laws and Doctor Who historian Jeremy Bentham remember growing up during those exciting years; plus Matthew Sweet on TV Comic and David Quantick reflects on canon. * TARGET BOOKS: Remember the thrill, the smell, the feel of a brand new Doctor Who novelisation? Nicholas Pegg does, and salutes the people behind them. * THE AGE OF CHAOS: Journey back to 1994 to explore the creation of this memorable Marvel one-shot penned by the Sixth Doctor himself, Colin Baker, with an exclusive interviews with Colin, editor Gary Russell, and artists John M Burns and Barrie Mitchell. * DOCTOR WHO MAGAZINE EDITORS INTERVIEWED: Featuring John Freeman, Gary Russell, Marcus Hearn, Alan Barnes, Clayton Hickman, Peter Ware and Tom Spilsbury in conversation. * BRIEF ENCOUNTERS: Discussion on Abslom Daak with Richard Starkings, Lee Sullivan, Paul Cornell and Ben Aaronovitch; Halo Jones with Andrew Cartmel; investing in Doctor Who Weekly with Matthew Waterhouse; and illustrating the very first Dalek novelisation with legendary Hollywood graphic designer Arnold Schwartzman and Armada artist Peter Archer. Issue number: 3 is out now price: £9.99 and can be ordered from the Magazine website.

Girl go rescue your secret brother!!!

This week’s theme: Headcanons! Feel free to use my headcanons as inspiration for your fics. And please send in your own headcanons, and I will try to find a comic panel to go with them!

My headcanon for Luke and Leia is that they have a food allergy in common that they inherited from Anakin. They figure out they both have this allergy before they know they are siblings.

“Star Wars Adventures 5: The Trouble at Tibrin, Part II.” Marvel. December 27, 2017. Writer: Landry Q. Walker. Penciller: Eric Jones. Letterer: Tom B. Long. Colorist: Charlie Kirchoff.

The inspiration for this headcanon comes from the 2003/4 video game Tales of Symphonia, which was my obsession through my entire teens. Spoilers below:

In a subtle clue that they are related, both Kratos and Lloyd hate tomatoes. You can only figure this out through carefully observing the cooking mechanic in the game and through one or two rare skits. This detail flew over my head when I played the game, but the fandom has really caught on to it.

(Kratos and Lloyd’s relationship had a profound effect on me, partly because of its similarity to Vader and Luke’s, and also to Lancelot and Galahad’s. I guess the highly specific trope name would be, “The Best Knight, who is actually the Worst Knight, Tragically Reunites with his Son, who is Better.” I think they are such beautiful stories and compelling emotional ground for their sprawling fantasy epics. They are certainly a great influence on my own writing.)

It’s Luke Week!
