    You sound like you’re less Pig and more Rat.

      I mean…yes? That does seem like a reasonable solution to a non-problem. The real problem is the group of people who think they have a need and a right to control everybody else.

      It’s not a new concept. People trying to control other people is a tale as old as time. I maybe agree with the rat, but I think the solution to the problem may be the Everette True way.

      If you’ve never heard of Everette True, he’s a comic strip character from 100 years ago.

      His comics all follow a very simple formula.

      Panel 1 Everette incures a problem or issue

      Then…

      Panel 2 Everette beats the shit out of everybody.

      Works for me! People want to ban books? Punch them! Or hit them in the head with a book! These are life lessions we need to teach our children!

        You are talking to the right person since I’m a huge fan of classic comics. I do know The Outbursts of Everett True, but my favorite one is one of the few where he doesn’t lose his temper:

        Coincidentally, even though I’ve known about this for years, this specific strip and the comic as a whole came back into my consciousness a few days ago when I saw it posted elsewhere.
