I'd just like to say: Grant talked about a LOT of other things in this interview, and very very little (if indeed, any) of it was in a despairing tone.

You know, I cant help but read Ganesh's new name out-loud whilst holing my nose.

yeah...
i bought the magazine, and to be honest the whole schizo-readers bit wasnt very much of the interview. it was a good run through more morrison style peptalkery. especially enjoyable was his theory about warrior magicians at altamont.

buy more arthur, you barbephrenics.
because you're worth it.

Ah, but if you had read the Gododdin, you would be able to understand the interview more clearly, and would thus be able to detect the DESPAIR. Try this for starters:

Gredyf gwr oed gwas
Gwrhyt am dias
Meirch mwth myngvras
A dan vordwyt megyrwas
Ysgwyt ysgauyn lledan
Ar bedrein mein vuan
Kledyuawr glas glan
Ethy eur aphan

Cas e rof a thi
Gwell gwneif a thi
Ar wawt dy uoli

Kynt y vwyt y vrein

Ku kyueillt ewein
Kwl y uot a dan vrein

Llad un mab marro


There. Despair getting any clearer? If not, you are probably suffering from some sort of thalamic disorder.

(A note for readers. This thread is not primarily concerned with the full content of the article in Arthur in which George Morrison is interviewed - that is addressed in another thread. This thread is specifically about the scientific fact that schizophrenics cannot process metaphor. I'm not *entirely* sure what it's doing in the comics forum...)

Got mine, thanks Jay.

And yes, the similarities are interesting. I wonder if Morrison even read the Moore interview.

And I checked yesterday, the site says my lcs has it.

D'oh!

Owners of cats infested with Toxoplasma gondii can't process metaphor.

Look. We know what happens now. Somebody Scottish (not GM) says something regrettable about cats. Everything goes wrong.

We have a chance not to let that happen. Let's not let that happen.

Would you like me...

... to glass the cat?

Is this a metaphor?

How I wish I knew!

Due to my inability to process metaphor, I, and thousands of others like me could never understand why Superman was called "The Man Of Steel". God bless DC for finally making a comic we can enjoy.
