Coming Soon 👀 At the beginning of April, you’ll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
In the Sherlock Holmes stories, Holmes’s brother Mycroft is a founding member of the Diogenes Club. As Holmes explains to Watson:
“There are many men in London, you know, who, some from shyness, some from misanthropy, have no wish for the company of their fellows. Yet they are not averse to comfortable chairs and the latest periodicals. It is for the convenience of these that the Diogenes Club was started, and it now contains the most unsociable and unclubbable men in town. No member is permitted to take the least notice of any other one. Save in the Stranger’s Room, no talking is, under any circumstances, allowed, and three offences, if brought to the notice of the committee, render the talker liable to expulsion.”
Eminently superior to current social media sites. I thought of starting my own Facebook Group called “The Diogenes Club.” Except under the most dire circumstances, no member would be allowed to post anything on the site. Instead of Friends, there would be a list of club members, but no member would be allowed to contact any other member.
