Watchmen question
I'm reading the comic book currently, mostly on shit breaks. Anyhow, is the pirate story/comic book in a comic book all that necessary to the story, cause I've kinda been skipping ahead just to get done. I'm a slow reader, get over it.

Not really. I just finished reading it actually. I mean it has allusions to the actual story, but no it doesn't really have any bearing whatsoever.

Yeah, it doesn't really connect to the story other than providing parallels to the events that take place.

Yeah it reflects and augments a lot of what is happening in the story, like a lot of the supplemental material that's thrown in (Under the Hood, the various excerpts from 'literary works' and such)... none of it is "necessary" to reading the main story, but it makes it all like 384648x better because you read all this background information and the whole thing just feels more complete.

Exactly mitch. It's a device used in tons of literature and movies. It's part of the all important subtext that allows you to get more, and the overall meaning, out of the story.
