    This seems deep but I’ve learned that over-analyzing Gary Larson cartoons is usually a waste of effort.

        Kind of an anti-intellectual meme, honestly. After like 9th grade reading level, one can learn that it’s not about finding the meaning in the text. It’s about finding a meaning and supporting it.

        It doesn’t really matter that much what the author meant. What matters what’s actually in the text.
