Have AT LEAST one other DC character, but I’m in a silly goofy mood so the club can include anyone from any media. 

What are they reading? This can be actual titles or just describe the kinds of books, genres and concepts, you think they’d like.

Let's Talk About the Collar: It's giving eldritch terror (complimentary)

Teekl is only very rarely shown with a collar, so, imo, it ends up feeling like a very pointed choice, narratively, when creative teams choose to do so. Am I over thinking it? Do you think it’s simply an artistic preference or do you agree? What are your thoughts on this?

I get the impression that a commonality between all these times Teekl has a collar is that Klarion’s magic status is being elevated and he is depicted at his most powerful in some way. Which is interesting, like the collar symbolizes his “taming” and mastering his magic. And since familiars help empower and protect, and therefore are also a vulnerability, it feels in character for him to want to hide Teekl, in plain sight, in the disguise of an unassuming, non-magic, cat.

Half of these depictions also portray him allied with a hero. Do you think the collar signals the “domesticity” of heroism?

Or... maybe it’s just a cute collar lol
