true, the first comic does contain nostalgic autobiographical information used to gain empathy from the reader. however, the punchline was a bit trite.
the second comic is more of a fanciful present-day exposition. the hippy is necessary because he represents the mores of a past era--even if the signs are a tad distracting. the resultant drug-induced poem made me laugh and its last line was the cinching aspect. after all, who doesn't enjoy an extended "fuck?"
quote:I like the punchline in the second one, too. Sounds a bit like Vogon poetry, though.
Or the collected works of John Lillison:
In Dillan's Grove
In Dillan's Grove my love did die,
and now in ground shall ever lie.
None could ever replace her visage,
until your face brought thoughts of kissage.
Pointy Bird
O pointy birds, o pointy pointy,
Anoint my head, anointy-nointy.
