Twins of rival North American fanzines make an oddly identical crayon stick-figure terrorism-qualia comics avatar doodle and debate populism (oddly).

A twins-portrait. Thanks for reading (and Happy Halloween all),

Amlan and Ajay Satan moved from Algiers to Boston and steadily continued work for their rival fanzines about world-politics populist commentary, drawing on ideas from writers as varied as Howard ZinnEdward Abbey, and Henry Adams.  Amlan and Ajay had been very different in personality and hence worked for rival fanzines of opposing populism commentary for complement, respectively, the Bostonian and the New Englander. They joked, as twins, that they liked, respectively New England (white) and Manhattan (red) clam chowder as opposite-consciousness twins of the 'fare-rich' Earth (American Homeland), Facebook-like.



This story is about a peculiar 'incident' with the two fanzines our protagonist twins had worked in the American Homeland concerning populism commentary in modern (21st-Century!) social media culture. The incident involved the generation of a world-infiltrations 'IQ' crayon stick-figure doodle of the patriotism-terrorism 'inventions' comics (GI-Joe) franchise drawn Cobra-hijack IQ dark-force marshal/captain antihero Cobra Commander the twins generated, quite separately, and oddly/miraculously identical (perfectly!) in shape/color/form/representation. It was the oddest coincidence for stick-figure world-populism irony controversy (Facebook-like!).



The twins (Amlan/Ajay) engaged in a funny cyber-commentary debate of sorts concerning whose personalized rendering of the Cobra-Commander stick-figure crayons doodle was the better representation of world-populism theater symbolism; and they wondered (aloud!) which rendering was the closest to the 'consciousness' of significance of the GI-Joe comics avatar they both generated, simultaneously and somehow/oddly identically (wow). 



AMLAN: Fan of populism relevance paranoia cinema, brother?
AJAY: My Cobra Commander speaks volumes about applications of many things!
AMLAN: What, are you claiming your love of adventure-tales links to education?
AJAY: Maybe you're more streamlined for world-events comment, but I'm circus!
AMLAN: Cobra Commander is both circus and Super Bowl, brother (surely).
AJAY: Selfie-like?
