    This really makes me mad.

    I get so incensed when some schmo thinks that a laptop and a coffee shop is all that it takes to be a writer.

    And the only thing worse than that is the halfwits of this world who don’t have the sense to recognise good literature like Kafka. They gobble this stuff up like bacon.

    It’s people like me, Literature students, who keep the valued cultures of the modern world alive.

    And you ungrateful luftmenschen don’t know how to appreciate us.

    You would think somebody so involved in comics (i.e. part-time cartoonist) would see the humor in this comic and not take it so literally.

    Kancho, you do NOT get a failing grade in Literature (at least I never did), plus I learned to write at the age of four, when most kinder learn to read, and learned to read at the age of two, when most kinder learn to speak. I’m twenty-two years old and already going for my PhD in literature.

    It’s people like me who keep culture alive, ungeziefer. And it’s people like you who are supposed to. So START ENCOURAGING THE YOUTH IN THEIR ARTISTIC ENDEAVOURS, OLD MAN! DON’T LET THEM SINK INTO INDOLENCE VIA TWITTER AND ‘E! TODAY’ ! JOIN THE FIGHT AGAINST SNOOKI AND OTHERS OF HER ILK!

    John was an Editor at the L.A. Times . . .I wonder what his take on “Mr.” Lit is . . . .

    I think someone early on this page has a touch of the “Fullness of Wind”.

    Trying to remember was that 1989? I’s in the Archive, but unforgettable. I got Maus 2 [on disc too] at the Library just last week; gotta get through some Herriman first. Some of us actually study this stuff!!!
