He Had Me At The Big Lebowski
Why does it not surprise me that Vachel was so well-prepared in yesterday’s Little Dee?
On the merch front, pre-orders present and imminent; stock up for the holiday season, won’t you?
There’s going to be more conversating of a cursory nature in your immediate future; Wizard online scribe (and webcomics interviewer) Brian Warmoth is kicking his biweekly schedule to the curb and going weekly now-ish. It’s my understanding that it took some convincing to get Wizard to run these interviews at all, so if you appreciate ’em as much as I do, drop an email to the comment line and let ’em know that Warmoth’s doing a great job.
And lastly: Chuck is not a vengeful god; the Coyote could have stopped his punishments any time he wanted to if he would only leave the Roadrunner alone. It is heresy to think you could do any better, Randall Munroe! What do you think modern birds (especially the ground-running types) evolved from? RAPTORS. They laugh at your collection of ACME goods.
I’m on board with Chuck being a benevolent animator. But I think he was on a higher literary plane. As we can see in the cartoons, nothing else was alive in that desert. Given the Coyote’s innate drive for self-preservation, he had to pursue the Road Runner, even though he was going to go hungry either way. The Coyote was in his own private hell. Sartre himself could not have written better.
