The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for January 16, 2025

Dragon Ball Z: Japanese animated series. I had to look it up.

Behold, Goku learned to read!

I always wanted to be The Beholder…

Would he have fared better with War And Peace?

Dead Souls by Gogol is a much more fun read.

Kind of a good one!

It was the best of times. It was the worzzzzzz…

Dragon Ball Z was more soporific than Anna Karenina, if you ask me!

I liked War and Peace, but never got around to finishing Anna Karenina. Will have to try it again some time.

I think I’ll skip Dragon Ball Z, even assuming it’s streaming somewhere. Can’t get around to everything.

It was a long day and he was dragon before he started reading.

Totally lost me. And I’m not interested enough to look it up.

I found Anna Karenina to be more engaging and interesting. War and Peace; however, has this effect.

Hope Goku didn’t eat too many senzu beans. They’re quite explosive.

Today’s cultural fragmentation must make it hard for comic strip artists. You want to present humor that will appeal to everybody, but there’s no common denominator any more.

He’s dreaming of Anna in anime, or Anna-me.

I read the first half of the first chapter of Anna Karenina. The opening line is among the best openings ever written. But it seems every character has at least two names and it was too hard for me to follow, so I rented the movie instead.

“All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way”.

I’ve always been proud of myself for reading all ten thousand pages of “War and Peace”, but once was definitely enough.

I was feeling that way about Dragon Ball Z itself, but the new Daima series isn’t so bad so far.

The Return of the Native would do it even faster

Close, but Annin, like most immortals is unable to stay awake for the whole story. She’s strong, but not that strong.

Generation Zzzzz…

Anime Karenina

I remember reading it in high school. I don’t remember a single thing about the story. Same with many of the other “important” books we had to read and forget.

So, Anna Karenina caused an action game to go inactive?
