once more on Masques...
There seems to be a Mask of Power that goes back to Seneca's time.....(cannot find more than a reference)
"A wearable or bearable "mask of power" must comprise all the principal features and postures inherent in the life of the community"...!!! Cf. AtD, these recent sections!!
-----from The Essential McLuhan, p. 359...[google book search]
The Mask originated as a comic book series created by Mike Richardson and published by Dark Horse Comics.
With it, the wearer has almost lilimtless power. --MK, picked up from later in the article.
It was later adapted into the 1994 film The Mask, starring Jim Carrey, which has as spin-offs a television cartoon series, and a 2005 film sequel Son of the Mask.
