Small Victories, sometimes all you have, you know...

If you're a Guardian reader (who has no sense of the contemporary state of cartoons) , you'll probably have seen these weird three panel cartoons and thought "what hell this...no be Doonesbury...is actually funn eee", if you've got any sense you know that Nicholas Gurewitch's Perry Bible Fellowship is one of the best three-panel cartoons to feature in the British mainstream press in (my) living memory, see below I am old. Jimmny H homie Bobby Clamnuts did a great interview with him. (ps this is Bob's archive site so no pics are there, his new site his here.)

Anyway I was in my room most of the day writing, then, when I left my room I saw the bizarre sight of my housemate's boyfriend and two of his friends, huddled round the back page of today's G2 in confusion, let me explain: two of these guys have PhDs in English lit and one is a published novelist finishing a PhD in Creative Writing. I walk past and they go 'can you explain this?' and I go, 'he's a guy trying to get off with her and she thinks he understands her and is about put out until his york notes pop out of his pocket and turns out he's shallow, and he trying to say it was only supplementing his knowledge' etc. I was like, read some comics you fecking lit mooks, you live in a visual culture...
