(Warning: Spoiler of sorts for the end of Watchmen)
The origin of this week's Yet Another Friday Question is in a conversation I had a couple of days ago:
The conversation turned (as sadly a majority of my conversations do) to graphic novels. M mentioned that she had recently read Watchmen, only her third graphic novel ever (after Maus and Persepolis). She liked it, but didn't care much for the ending, specifically the giant squid. J and I--both long-time comic readers--said that we didn't mind the giant squid and thought that it worked. M said that she had done some unscientific polling and that people had one of two reactions: "Giant Squid? Really?" or "Yeah, Giant Squid!"; and that those reactions broke down along gender lines.
So our Friday question to you is this:
What did you think of the giant squid in the last chapter of Watchmen?
