Kliban by B. Kliban for August 28, 2020

…used for writing hot steamy novels?

I believe it has written on the wall.

Ce n’est pas un crayon.

Countdown to someone claiming it’s blasphemy to suggest that God’s pencil needs an eraser. Three…two…one….

“The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,

Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit

Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,

Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.”

~Omar Kayyam

Oooo-kay.

Why isn’t it burning at both ends?

With fury, he sketched out the 10 commandments, knowing full well, they would be violated and erased from the minds of men….

It’s the eraser that does most of the damage.

The burning question is … Does God write Her Left Hand or Her Right Hand?… Or, is She Ambidextrous?

What does Zürich have to do with all this?

Sometimes, a pencil is just a pencil…sometimes not.

When Kliban decides to be inscrutable he doesn’t mess around.

In the immediate aftermath of drawing that bush.
