ComiCentric Issue 78: Nothings spookier than asking ‘HOWS THE WEATHER…?!’
In the vast expanse of California, there exists a peculiar phenomenon—one so eerie that even the bravest souls tread cautiously around it. It’s not the foggy lakes of Paris, the night DTLA alley rain, or the clear sky alien encounters in Death Valley that send shivers down spines; no, it’s the mere mention of THE weather.
In this the Golden State of climatic chaos, where the sun and clouds play an eternal game of tag, asking about the weather is akin’ to invoking’ the spirit of small talk death. Conversations wither, enthusiasm evaporates, and the room falls into an awkward silence. California weather, you see, is not just a topic, it’s a saga of unpredictability, a chronicle of climatic capriciousness.
“How’s the weather?”
Yet, beneath the surface of this weather-induced dread lies the truth. The shared atmosphere that unites Californians. While small talk might seem as droll as a conversation can get, it’s a lifeline, a bridge connecting disparate lives under the same expansive sky.
Emotionally, some Californians dance, dance and dense denso with the weather. The sun brings joy, the rain melancholy, and the unexpected chill, a touch of atmospheric drama. It’s a symphony of meteorological moods, playing out across the palm-lined streets and sun-kissed beaches.
CALIFORNIA LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT.
And then, as the sun sets and the stars emerge, weather becomes the silent accomplice to the silver screen. The creepy lake sets the stage for mystery, the night alley rain adds rhythm to thrillers, and the clear sky becomes the canvas for extraterrestrial encounters in the forest of Lost Angeles.
So, dear Comicentric, don’t ask a Californian about the weather. Instead, marvel at its unpredictability, complement its sporadic beauty, for there truly ain’t no weather like Californian weather—an atmospheric enigma that binds, baffles, and sometimes, just sometimes, brings a touch magic to our everyday mundane life.
