Going to take a Sandman detour because I want to cover Batman: The Long Halloween before the animated movie drops next month on June 22. So next video will be Batman: The Long Halloween, and then I will continue on with Sandman. Long Halloween is long (13 issues) and I don't want to split it in two videos, so I might potentially take two weeks to do it and skip a Sunday release. We'll see though!

The story about cats is the belief that belief itself shapes reality, perception of reality and reality itself is interchangeable. It's an amusing idea, and it may be the difference between those who spend their life playing with that idea(having talent), from those who don't.

I discovered your channel with the first video of this series and got absolutely amazed. I read Sandman long time ago and watching your videos makes me feel so nostalgic. Your narration is so good. I'm from Brazil and I'm really insecure about my english, but the way you talk/read is so good that I can understand everything. One of my biggest dreams was too buy the whole Sandman Absolute Edition, but this new ones seems so beautiful that I'm thinking of trying buy them. Anyway, I loved the videos so far, thank you. (Also this four short stories are one my favorites in the entire Sandman's, can't wait for the rest of them)

If I do all of Sandman it will be 10 volumes. Some of the later volumes are really long, so it's possible I will split some of them up into Part 1 and Part 2. Also I am really looking forward to after Sandman, as I want to jump around to a whole bunch of different books, as I do sometimes hate having to stick to one book for such a long time to finish it.

Shrubbery? SHRUBBERY?! Mate, look up the Long Man of Wilmington and you'll find that what he's standing on - and what he's opening there - is an effing hill! (This btw plays on the idea in Irish folklore that fairies live Under The Hill.) As for The Dream of a Thousand Cats - this entire volume is about stories. Calliope is used to create stories. Shakespeare transforms the brutal, capricious fae of old into mischievous fairies with his tale. Urania hides behind her masks, those little stories we tell everyone we meet - "I am happy." "I am disaffected." "I am a mother." "I am someone important." And the cats learn that stories change our world. The Middle Ages were full of brave knights, honourable kings, and noble queens, because that's what our stories tell us. Is it true? Of course not, but that doesn't matter. What matters is that people believe it. If you want to change the belief, you have to change the story.

alright... well, i was going to bash on this weird comics, but, darn it! it was just ...interesting! ...anyway, i think the cat tale has something to do with faith, but in a 10000% scale, I mean, Jesus in the bible said that, "if one man had faith the size as a mustard seed, could tell a mountain to move from here to there and the mountain will obey having no other choice". Now to ask 100 cats to dream to change the world all at once and at the same time is upping up that 100 times 100 x 100 = 10000% (lol i don't know what i am talking about here, maphth!) But the cat said humans once did this, meaning humans once had the faith to change the world as it is today, but probably forgot and take day to day for granted, till one day, those 100 kittens will change the world once again.

I feel like suicide is frowned upon in our society because some people want to view it as a sin. We can’t judge others for committing suicide when we ourselves don’t know what they went through. Some levels of suffering just can’t be overcome and the trauma overtakes your entire life. Also, think of how many would have been saved if all those mass shooters chose to kill themselves over killing everyone around them. Element girl knew who she was and what she wanted. I can respect that about her and Death never judged her for it.
