Marie Wintzer Helpful Comic

[David Stafford]

Marie sent me this characteristically droll and precious book of fragile Japanese ephemera. Inside a delicate wrapping which looks like a catechism or a primer, is a comic book for which Marie has supplied helpful translations.

There's a lot of this going around.

There's always someone with a ready diagnosis and it usually involves cortical conditioning...

Deeper and deeper into the psyche we go...

Ah, yes, the old culprit Incontinent Nostalgia, a failure of the sphincter which controls the memory bladder. In four short panels Marie has delineated the symptoms and probable cause of the spiritual crisis of our age. Her next book presumably deals with the cure. Thank you, Marie....

At first I thought David's Jackie Onassis comment was complete Staffordian satire. But you know what? It actually works for me mostly. A found Japanese text with found English dialog added. Marie, you truly never cease to amaze me.

[Marie Wintzer]

your DVS trap worked ;-))

I would also refer you to ARISTOTLE Onassis, which might solve the Neo-Platonic quagmire you didn't completely resolve, David. But seriously - great post and another conceptual masterpiece from MW.

For the moment we are....Entertaining Mr. Sloane

I have a feeling our friend DeVillo will be weighing in soon on this one....

[David Stafford]

Oh, you have made a grave mistake in assuming the texts to be different. This a Brion Gysin moment of synchronous intermingling in which two truths go out walking in separate hemispheres but fall in love with the same cloud because it resembles Jackie Onassis.

Thanks for blogging this, David! The text is of course from a completely different book, I have no idea what it is they are actually talking about.

From hypochondriac to hypochondriac ;-))
