You know when the spammer bots have a cocktail party, they all talk about me and my posts. I’m like the John Cheever of robot zeitgeist.

I’m going to start drawing spirals on everything.

It reminds me of a documentary on the cartoonist Robert Crumb that made revealed that while he was crazy and talented, his older brother Charles was even crazier and more talented. As Charles was overcome by schizophrenia, his drawings took on this “loopy” quality, kind of like spirals. He was obsessed with the child actor Bobby Driscoll, who starred in the Disney version of Treasure Island. Charles made a comic book adaptation of Treasure Island and they showed the pages in the documentary. I still remember them.

Hah. Thanks Internet. Here is what I am talking about. Notice the spiral in the fifth panel.
