For a graphic novel, this is slow going because of the disturbing subject matter.
Wow--I didn't know this about George Bernard Shaw--that he was a "useful idiot" for Stalin. Disturbing. As a teen, I discovered Shaw at a public library--or actually I think it began with a dramatic reading of Arms and the Man on Chicago's classical radio station or public radio--and I read many of his plays. During my undergrad years, the Repertory Theater of St. Louis (on our campus) put on a gorgeous production of Pygmalion, which I saw numerous times. So... this Stalin stuff is disturbing.
When Kissinger died, I may have sung, "Ding dong, the bitch is dead!" We celebrated. I just remembered that back when I worked in the box office of the St. Louis Symphony, there was a speaker series... and one of the speakers was Kissinger. I was grossed out not only because he was welcome at my workplace but also by my asshole coworkers--an admittedly everyday occurrence in that workplace. #psychopath
