Is this from the same lady who drew those Great Gatsby comics?

Seems like it.

I just read Kate Beaton's Hark! A Vagrant this year and it really does look like she drew it.

Yes, it is.

Yup, that's all Kate Beaton. Who is the Best, highly recommended. She drew me a Fat Pony once!

Fat Pony is the absolute best.

Maybe no one watches the show.

Some do, going by recent secrets.

idgi.

The point is that he's a black man who represents literal darkness who "needs" a white woman who represents literal light. Like, if you don't understand why that's a wee bit fucked up in a racially charged kinda way, then I don't really know what to tell you.

It could be that ayrt isn't familiar with the characters and therefore has no context for what the guy is saying. Maybe have some chill?

(nayrt) I'm pretty sure the secret is so self-explanatory that anon could have worked it out given thirty seconds thought. I mean, I've never seen the show, and it seemed pretty clear to me?

Re: Can someone explain the comic's point to me?

Looks like... Cloak and Dagger? I thought they did raise the point somewhat in the show, that neither one's problems were greater than the other's.

And yet...the show would be wrong. Just the fact she's accustomed to swooping into high-class situations and walking off with rich people cash should tell us that. No one looks twice at her, even if she is "poor white trash."

Hmmm. I felt like the show made the point that both of them had problems, but being relatively well off didn't offset the problems that come from being a young black man. For all that she was poor, Tandy still got away with far more because she's a pretty white girl.

being relatively well off didn't offset the problems that come from being a young black man.

Well yes, there's that.

Privilege checklist for the man:
+Male
+Well-off
-Black

Privilege checklist for the woman:
+White
-Female
-Poor

He has two advantages and she has two disadvantages, but she's the whiny privileged one? Looks like we're at it again with hating white women.

Looks like we're at it again with hating white women.

Oh, shut up and actually watch the show.

Yep.

Same shit, different day.

Yeah, tbh the imagery is what turned me off the show.

I know next to nothing about the comic, but there’s nothing in the show (so far at least) about Tyrone feeding off Tandy’s “light” in any way. If anything, Tandy was the one who started stealing other people’s hopes.

This Kate Beaton comic in the secret is likely referring to comic book canon, where (according to Wikipedia) "Cloak feels a constant hunger which can only be assuaged by feeding either on light projected by Dagger or on light consumed from victims dispatched to the dimension of darkness."

I was responding more to the part of the secret that said “does the show handle this better or something”. Not saying they won’t go there in future seasons, but in season one Tyrone (Clock) doesn’t have that hunger and need to feed on light. He can see people’s fears if he touches them, he can teleport, and he did absorb one villain in the season finale, but there’s, so far, no need to feed on “light”.

Yeah, the show is definitely trying to turn the source material's tropes on their head and imo it's doing a very good job of it so far.
