- Last week, we talked about Easter eggs
hidden inside of comic books
and why new comics are released on Wednesdays.
Let's see what you guys had to say.
A lot of you guys brought up some really interesting
Easter eggs that I did not go over.
A couple Jim Lee ones that I thought
were really interesting.
Josh Cormick brings up the Superman Unchained number three
that says "I love Carla" written in the broken chains,
which is kind of sweet.
Also, Roger Fusselman talks about a Batman 609
and how there's a thug that has a bandana
where in another language is written Jim Lee's birth name,
which I found really interesting.
Richard Moran asks how I could have possibly forgotten
all of the Kingdom Come Easter eggs,
like Rorschach being in the background
or even all of the Marvel characters that make appearances,
even though it is a DC comic,
which, yeah, really good points.
I feel like that's one I should save for like a part two,
because there are tons of these things
hidden in Kingdom Come.
Yeah, maybe we'll do a part two,
but I know a majority of you guys are here
because you want to know what is on the Chrononauts cover,
what is on that watch face.
Lazar Lilic is probably the closest that I found,
saying that it looks like a Green Lantern logo.
A lot of you guys actually did write it in the comments,
but I was unsure if you just looked it up and wrote it down
or if you just genuinely saw it with your own eyes.
Supposedly, there is a hidden hourglass icon
inside of the watch face over the top of the whole thing,
which you can see here.
Apparently, this is what it's supposed to look like.
If you can see that, then congradulations.
Apparently, you have some rare type of color blindness,
because, as I said, the science behind this
is that only anywhere between 93 to 99% of the population
can't actually see that image, but those who have
that rare kind of color blindness can see it
and that's what you're supposed to see.
As I said in the last video, it is a possibility
that it is still a hoax.
A lot of people are saying that it is a hoax,
that it's not real, they just wanted to get some attention
on their book and it did come out at the time
when the dress phenomenon was happening as well,
so maybe they're trying to piggyback off of that,
but my thing is let's say it's not a hoax
and people actually do see this,
but a majority of us don't.
What's gonna happen is someone's gonna come along
and say, "Oh, I do see it" and then the rest of us
are gonna say, "You're a liar; you just looked it up online.
"I don't believe you."
How will we know?
Unless we have a very tightly controlled experiment,
it's still up in the air,
but let me know if this is something that you did see.
I know a couple people were also saying
that it helps if you have a printed version of the comic
that you can see physically in your hands
instead of a digital version or a picture of it.
Maybe that helps.
On Friday's video, which was about
how new comic books are released on Wednesdays,
Matthew Charlebois--
(record scratching) Definitely pronounced that correctly.
Shar-la-bwah?
It's probably Shar-la-bwah.
Matthew Charlebois said that new music is actually
released on Fridays and it has been for quite some time
and I did say it was released on Tuesdays accidentally,
because, and this is kind of an embarassing confession,
I guess, is because I'm living in the age
of streaming media, I can't remember if I've ever actually
bought music before, like genuinely.
That one was my bad.
Also, this person, I'm not going to even bother
trying to say what that name is,
said that his experience was different
and that comics, even in the 80s,
comic shops were releasing new comic books
on Wednesdays as the day.
I guess to kind of clarify this, it's not that
before the early 90s comics weren't at all
released on Wednesdays, it's just that each comic shop
or publisher had its own different, unique schedules,
so maybe that shop that you to did have a schedule
where they released on Wednesdays.
It just wasn't standardized and also,
Diamond did tell me that the early 90s was
about their best guess, but it's really hard to pinpoint.
Maybe they were off by a few years.
This is one of those things that
without proper documentation about when was the specific,
exact day when it started, it's going to be hard
to know for sure what actually happened,
but that was their best guess,
so I guess that's what I'll go with.
That'll be it for this week, guys.
