At the end of the episode, though, Laurie gives Watchmen viewers a delicious bit to chew on. Throughout the episode, Laurie is sending a message to Doctor Manhattan via a Martian telephone call. She recounts a joke, or more of a parable, about God sending superheroes to hell. Ozymandias , with God sending each one to something akin to hell. God believes himself to be at the pearly gates all alone, Laurie says, until he realizes a woman is with them. Laurie Blake was not the most powerful, or the most visible, or the most impactful hero in Watchmen.

Next Up In Culture. Delivered Fridays. The Comedian guns her down, and Dr. Dan Dreiberg thinks about his time spent with The Comedian during riots caused by a protest, where The Comedian seems to enjoy repelling the angry mob.
October 16, Moloch describes The Comedian visiting him while drunk late one night, nearly a week before his death. He appears to be worried, fearful and saddened, mentioning vague activities taking place on an island full of scientists, artists and writers.
Blake was buried in a cemetery under the rain with his coffin covered with the American flag. Protestors could be seen outside. While trying to convince Doctor Manhattan to save the Earth from nuclear war, Laurie Juspeczyk came to the shocking realization that the Comedian was her father.
This revelation provoked an unexpected emotional response in the superhuman Manhattan, who was stunned that two people as different as the Comedian and Sally Jupiter could come together and produce a child, and that child being Laurie, he realized that such odds of improbability extended to all members of the human race.
This revelation encouraged Manhattan that human life was worth saving and, later, gave Laurie a chance to reconcile with her mother. When his apartment was broken into, he was writing a note to Laurie Juspeczyk. The note reads as follows:. Blake is a cigar-chomping, gun-toting vigilante turned paramilitary agent.
He is described variously as "deliberately amoral" with a "practiced cynicism", meaning that he usually has little regard for social conventions or human life. Always in character as the Comedian, he describes the world as a sadistic joke that only he understands, but in the end his practiced cynicism is shattered when he discovers a plot that he regards as a "practical joke" even he can't believe anyone would pull.
While in the Minutemen , the Comedian's costume was extremely gaudy, consisting of a bright yellow and purple boiler suit.
He has purple gloves and boots as well a similarly colored domino mask over his eyes to protect his identity. Also, he had a bright red belt buckle in the shape of a laughing face.
In , due to an unexplained incident, he was stabbed and decided to convert his armor into something more protective. He then produced the armor that would serve him throughout the rest of his career, made out of thick leather and patriotic shoulder pads, although he kept the same mask for quite some time.
Night in Saigon , he was slashed in the face with a bottle by a girl he had gotten pregnant. Afterward, he wore a more protective and concealing mask. Blake was fairly slight but lean and mean when introduced as a member of the Minutemen , but his physical stature greatly increased over the years, which could be attributed to the fact that he was only a teenager at the time he served with the group. At the time of his death, Blake was quite tall and had a very well-built, muscular physique despite being in his early sixties.
He was described as being pounds, being built like a linebacker, and being in terrific shape despite his age. Throughout the work, the Comedian is typically seen wearing or in close proximity to the "smiley-face" button which is closely associated with him. At the beginning of the series, the button is smeared with a single drop of blood which, if the button is viewed as a clock face, is at the position of the minute hand of the Doomsday Clock at the time of the series, eleven minutes to midnight.
However, the smile is constantly appearing when Blake is not present, possibly at important junctures in the story. Watchmen Wiki Explore. Comedian's badge Doomsday Clock Clocks and watches.
