    Default Cover Contest Apr 15 - 21, 2020: Working at Home

    We've had some recent contests that are inspired by the impact of the current COVID-19 pandemic on everyone's lives, and here's another. This week's contest is to post a cover showing someone working at home or in a home office:



    I realize that it is somewhat nebulous as to what is actually "work", or "home", or a "home office", so I shall simply point to Rule 7 (and Rule 10!) and let you be the judge of that. Speaking of which, here are

    THE RULES:
    1) Post One (& ONLY ONE) Cover that fits the theme of this Week's Contest!
    2) Cover must be from a Published Comic Book, Graphic Novel, or Collected Volume!
    3) Covers must be Posted before Voting Begins!
    4) Voting Begins 12 AM Tuesday and Runs Until 12 AM Wednesday PST (3 AM EST)!
    5) Vote by Posting the name in BOLD of the Poster whose cover best fits the theme or that you simply like the most! A vote need not be in bold, but it does make it easier to Count-The-Votes!
    6) The Winner of the Contest is the Entry with the MOST Votes after the Voting-Period!
    7) It's Okay to Discuss the Covers but if you Think Someone's Entry Doesn't Fit the Theme or Violates the Rules, you Don't need to Argue it in the thread, Simply Don't Vote for It!
    8) Plus: Occasionally Voting will Result in a Tie! The Person Who Started the Thread will do the Counting that Week will Usually call for a TIE-Breaking --Vote from Someone who has Not Yet Voted!
    9) AFTER the Tie-Breaker Vote, Voting Ends and the Winner is Declared by The One Who Started the Thread (or assigned surrogate) and Thus will do the Counting.
    10) HAVE FUN!

    I think restorative nostalgia is the number one issue with comic book fans.
    A fine distinction between two types of Nostalgia:

    Reflective Nostalgia allows us to savor our memories but accepts that they are in the past
    Restorative Nostalgia pushes back against the here and now, keeping us stuck trying to relive our glory days.

    I think Bruce wins in the "home office" category
    Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting

    Galactus has been working and eating from home literally since forever.

    A man's home is his castle, and vice versa

    working from home brings back memories of the days of slow baud rate and troubleshooting a JCL job that abended during the wee hours of the morning
