I really love the concept of sending expectations to screw themselves in favor of pure, concentrated comedy.<br /><br />Also...Any chance of other LOL-tastic stories being featured on the blog? Hard-Boiled Duck seems like a no-brainer, yet for variety's sake, it wouldn't be a bad idea for you to bring up a non-Horn story which fits in the "lulzy" category.

"<br /><br />I think that sums up Bill's storytelling style in a nutshell. Or a duck egg. Especially with his ten-pagers (the bulk of his Duck output) I always got the impression that what Bill really loved was the gag, especially the visual gag. Lots of silent film comedy influence (I could be wrong.) The means being more important than the end, or something something.<br /><br />And as always, a great deal of fun to colorize.Susan D-Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06621093224130115184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423579092779163824.post-28446787574052795112010-08-19T22:55:58.841-04:002010-08-19T22:55:58.841-04:00Well, yeah, I think it's abundantly clear that...Well, yeah, I think it's abundantly clear that you're absolutely right. But that's the thing--even when you're not TRYING to present any kind of subtext or theme, there's always going to be SOME sort of grounding to what you write. I try to avoid subjecting texts to parodic levels of over-analysis to make them mean things that they don't (or only do via an extremely tendentious reading), but I am also of the opinion that there's no such thing as a text that is entirely politically neutral.GeoX, one of the GeoX boys.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14658452994152399308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423579092779163824.post-62406324508015998802010-08-19T20:35:56.959-04:002010-08-19T20:35:56.959-04:00Geo,

His best stories always have that slightly off-kilter helping of zaniness for zaniness' sake; this one just amps it up a few fold and becomes a complete slapstick comedy. <br /><br />And yes, Bill is pretty much of a curmudgeon when it comes to pop culture. (Remember the story you commented on earlier with the digs at rap music and hip hop.)<br /><br />ChrisChris Barathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06845538037091279990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5423579092779163824.post-77915173858955063722010-08-19T08:24:55.201-04:002010-08-19T08:24:55.201-04:00That story is great.
