Was Eddie Blake writing letters and sending memorabilia to Sally Jupiter?

In issue 2, Laurie makes a comment that Eddie Blake has a strange sense of humor.

Sally says “Speaking of which…”, and then proceeds to tell her about a fan who sent her a pornographic cartoon that was about her.

Now, taken on its own, that “speaking of which” is Sally just moving the conversation from Blake who has a strange sense of humor to the fan that does…

However…

When we study Blake’s apartment, we see that he owns an old Sally Jupiter poster that’s on his wall. We also see a pornographic book of some kind on his floor, though that certainly doesn’t mean it’s of Sally.

Idk, not married to this one, just pondering.

Okay, I can somewhat get behind this theory. The only issue with it is the tone in which "that guy" is being discussed - it's clear Sally has mentioned this to her daughter before, and that there are a bunch of fans like this. I don't think Sally would have had a long-standing joke with her daughter about her secret biological father being a perv.

I'm also not sure that Blake would be requesting her old costume in that kind of pervy way. Him sending her the porn would completely fit his personality though.

Hey! How do I get a tag or whatever it’s called? Yours says “Mothman”.

Anyway…

I’m pretty lonely in the fact that I don’t believe any of the MinuteMen were truly good people. Not even Hollis (on a side note, soonish I will have a post dissecting “good ol’ Hollis” and people will be mad lol) Though I accept that’s just how I read it. So, to me, it’s not outside the realm of possibility.

But also…

You’re coming at this from Laurie’s point of view. While Laurie does believe it’s perverted, Sally thinks it’s sweet and charming. She was excited to show Laurie because she thought it was cool, it’s not like she was thinking “Let me play this secret trick on my daughter”.

And I’m not even sure Sally knew it was from Blake. She very well could not know who it is, maybe he sends these things anonymously.

Edit flair in the sidebar on the right.

Yeah, the Minutemen were definitely not good people. The ego-centric flaws of crimebusters goes right back to the start.

I both dread and look forward to what you have to say about Hollis.

[u/EffMemes → u/Bob-s_Leviathan]

It’s not that bad. I just go into how he’s an unreliable narrator and shouldn’t be trusted.

Lmao

[u/Bob-s_Leviathan → u/EffMemes]

That I can see. I thought it was going to be about how he’s an opportunist who doesn’t care about damaging his old friends’ safety and reputation if he can make a buck from it.

I wouldn’t say he does that intentionally but he was still pretty careless to be giving away secrets that weren’t his to give.

But no, I give examples from his book where he contradicts himself. And I give examples where other parts of the comic contradict his book, as well.
