Vincent Macropod in “Our Spirit Will Never Be Defeated”
on February 28, 2007 at 12:00 amSo it snowed a whole bunch this last weekend. Gonna snow a whole bunch more over the next coupla days. And so, inevitably, everyone around me is in a blind, animal panic. “OMG,” they seem to say, “OMG OMG OMG!!!” Which would be fine, if we weren’t living in Minnesota. This is the way it is, people. You don’t like it, move away. Or wait twenty years or so, I suppose. No more snow then! Yaaaaay.
Oh, I don’t mean to be grumpy. The Year for Action continues without stopping, however, and remember when I said like a month ago that I was tired of it? Yeah.
So here’s a cartoon that’s nothing to do with any of this! Enjoy! And now – annotations!
- So I saw a bumper sticker for some high school, and it said, “Our spirit will never be defeated,” and I thought, “What, you have possession of a spirit? That you pit against other spirits?” Abracadabra. I wish only that I could come up with this sort of thing at will. In the future, neuroscience will discover the Inspiration Sequence, perhaps, and be able to prompt ideas chemically! And then such ideas will be totally devalued!
- Al-Mubarraz is a real place on the Arabian Peninsula. I don’t know if it has an associated Djinn. I got “Bromley” from somewhere, too, I think, but I forget where. I was going for sort of an Edward Gorey thing for her, in both name and design.
