Lisa: If we don't get to the convention soon, all the good comics will be gone!
Bart: Ah, what do you care about good comics? All you ever buy is Casper the Wimpy Ghost.
Lisa: I think it's sad that you equate friendliness with wimpiness, and I hope it'll keep you from ever achieving true popularity.
Bart: Well, you know what I think? I think Casper is the ghost of Richie Rich. [shows comics of Casper and Richie Rich]
Lisa: Hey, they do look alike!
Bart: Wonder how Richie died.
Lisa: Perhaps he realized how hollow the pursuit of money really is and took his own life.
Marge: Kids, could you lighten up a little?
[The Simpsons, "Three Men and a Comic Book'" episode]
Yeah, I promise I'll lighten up this blog soon. Working on a rambling post tonight, in fact...watch this space.
City of Destiny: adventures in and observations from the built environment, mostly Chicago/Midwest/Rust Belt.
