This comic is to all my bibliophile friends out there...you know who you are...because your READING a BLOG for goodness sake (which means you probably have scattered and/or stacked books around you as you read this...trying to justify your reasons for NOT fitting the overly realistic morbid caricature of this cartoon)! Some illustrations are just a little too close to home! I sure hope my wife doesn't read this blog post ;-).
Too late....I read it. :D And you are VERY RIGHT--a little too close to home. I do promise, however, to not attack you with a knife from behind. I will come up with something far more clever than that. ;)
I guess that's the price I'll have to pay for a wife who reads voraciously herself (especially historical fictions where who knows what kind of craziness goes on among those Amish/WW2/Settler kinds of character novels ;-) ). Perhaps if I had secretly worked this post into something about Hebrew discourse analysis...hmmm...now there's a thought...
I was actually first alerted to the cartoon because I follow the blog "Ketuvim" of Jim Getz http://jimgetz.org/ who pointed me to the source Incidental Comics at http://thoughtballoonhelium.blogspot.com/2010/09/confessions-of-book-fiend.html
