“manipulates the power of the innocent mute servant to escape Dook Manor, knowing his gift would be used for evil by unscrupulous men in power”. Sounds like a Kushner/Trump allegory.
Wiley must have been a patron of the movie “Heavy Metal” an animation collection produced in the early ’80’s, of which I’ve got a video of >pat-pat< right here that I nabbed off Big Ugly Dish Satellite when they weren’t scrambling everything..
One can make it a political allegory, but it is far more than that. Over the centuries you can plug in names from any time period but the story is the same. Only more mystical with the metahuman Nebbish’s ability to manifest in solid form anything he thinks of, but with a limited attention span. Reminds me of Forbidden Planet and the Id monster and the “Plastic Educator” that was creating it from one micro second to the next then banish is upon loss of concentration. I can go on but who would read it? WE have developed short attention spans too.

I wonder if Nebbish can imagine the bee stinging the Earl of Dook?

When I hear “Nebbish”, I immediately think: Woody Allen.

I’m wondering how I was able to survive before Wiley began creating Non Sequitur.

When you find yourself hip deep in Allegories, it’s sometimes difficult to remember Why you waded into the Swamp in the first place.

Genji monogatari? Cultural and obscure at the same time.
