What are some essential works of Alan Moore? What obscure things that he's written should I seek out?

I enjoy his popular stuff and am fascinated by his theories on magic and spirituality.

If a Bulbasaur never saw any Venusaurs, wouldn't he too think that Ivysaurs were his final form?

Are you bongs completely impervious to disgust? "The tribunes at the realistically sodomized the underclassmen. Just being cheeky is all."
"The toffs at the hellfire club accidentally strangled the sixteen year old maid they were raping in a satanic ceremony at the ruins of the old Abbey. It's a quaint ritual."
"Moore's a good chap. Write fantastic erotica involving children. I was just reading it under the statue of Jimmy Saville passing the torch to Stephen Fry."

I'm talking about the blonde snake. He was worshiping that for ages.

Lost Girls as "an erotica involving children", yeah sort of. It's more nuanced than that, and the way you've put it makes it sound like the shit people say goes on in the deserts near Hollywood, which it isn't. It's fictional with fictional characters.

As for Saville, I'm way more concerned about the MPs that keep accidentally shredding evidence in relation to their own pedo scandals. Saville we know about and isn't going to be abusing anyone else.

Boarding school is where all the rich and powerful go, you know that right? Like they're just doing embarrassing shit with each other mostly to strengthen the old boys' club later. It'll be shit like power showers rather than sodomy too, you might be thinking of fagging which is different.

If you liked the Lucinda Joyce chapter (personally I didn't, felt like he reached a little too far for that Finnegan's Wake style and didn't quite manage it) it probably isn't much denser than that. Even then, you can just skip it - Voice is structured more like a collection of short stories linked by theme than an actual novel.
