Watchmen: Dale Petey Confirmed As Lubeman

?Kinda surprised no one caught this but in Agent Petey’s latest memo, Fogdancing, he refers to his own entry in Nothing Ever Ends, the periodical that annually publishes critiques and summaries of Max Shea’s infamous novel, as his “origin story”. Reading that very entry in the 2nd piece of the...

It’s A Sequel

Hey guys, Love the show (both the HBO show and yours). I’ve heard the Watchmen show called a reboot, a reimagining, a new take, etc. etc. But (and there’s nothing wrong with this), it’s clearly a sequel to the graphic novel. It takes place in the same world, chronologically later,...

Petey = Lube Man

Hi guys, I’ve loved watching this series and having your debrief to answer some questions, and raise others. Ive also enjoyed the Peteypedia articles that have added to the world-building and feel to me like the extra material between chapters in the Watchmen book. I was wondering if you caught...
