It took me a long while to figure out the third one. Given the circumstances of Jack’s confinement, I would have thought that he might have recorded the time using quarter-notes (♩) instead of simple bars (|).
Good collection of funnies!
The Partch is a fine / chilling illustration of hallucination… or something.
He’s not actually hallucinating; the idea is to make him think he is.
You’re right, Powers.
I wonder if the term “gaslighting” was available then. (The movie with that title was from 1944, but I thought people didn’t commonly say that until later.) Anyhow, we might say the wife (or whoever that is) is gaslighting him.
@Mitch4: it’s the bartender.
Oh yeah!
Man, am I blurry this morning!
Look out Mitch4, they might gaslight you into thinking you’ve had too much. :-)
Now, relating to the comic with the track in the living room, an old song sprang to my mind.
It took me a few seconds to see the bartender.
I still can’t shake the “déjà vu” feeling that I’ve seen the “Double-Decker Walking Tours” before. It doesn’t seem to be a CIDU repeat (unless it was before the G.D. meltdown), so the only thing I can think of is that I must have run into it when researching one of Kanin’s other drawings (probably “Shotgun Bar Mitzvah“).
Wow, a Partch comic that’s actually kind of funny, doesn’t make me wince, and uses his drawing talents well.
Kilby, I linked to the walking tours cartoon in the discussion here.
@ Pete – Thanks very much for the “Meathead” link. It wasn’t tagged with Kanin’s name, so I missed it when reviewing (not that the tag would have helped, since reading through all the comments for every Kanin post would have been too laborious).
