Nov. 18th, 2007 03:49 pmThese panels worked well:
One of a classroom -
arrow on one boy student: 'Preternaturally handsome football player who was currently helping dad haul junk out of our basement.'
Dad's speech bubble: "He makes a pass at Holden. Did any of you twits read this?"
arrow on dad: 'Awesome capacity for cognitive dissonance.'
One of two shoes -
'I was compelled to line up my shoes exactly, so as to show niether one preference.'
Arrows on shoes: (The left one was my father.) (The right one was my mother.))
__ an alluring conherence - like life on TV
__ parallel to Ulysses: What, reduce to their simplest reciprocal form, were dad's thoughts about my thoughts about him, and his thoughts about my thoughts about his thoughts about me? <> He thought that I thought that he was a queer. Whereas he knew that I knew that he knew that I was too.
