Yah I know. This Ebenezer Cooke guy, it’s funny how similar he is to the old Quixote. For those who aren’t in on any of the jokes, a big part of the comedy of the book is Ebenezer Cooke’s initial naivete (he’s a Candide-like figure) which slowly gets abraded and transformed into cynicism throughout the tale, leading up to him writing the “satyr”ical poem, “The Sot-Weed Factor; Or, a Voyage to Maryland. A Satyr,” a real poem by a real poet whom Barth based the novel on. A particular point of comedy is his sexual naivete and inexperience, with him refusing sex with several attractive women who offer it to him out of an old-fashioned Puritan-Christianesque mentality. He and the gang also get sodomized by pirates, in one funny chapter. I like it. Funny! Yes!! Haha!!!!

As another point of my rambling drunken monologues trying to somewhat bump up the quality of this board by mentioning a good book I’ve read (albeit many years ago, as a freshfaced naive young man not unlike Ebenezer himself, when I plowed through books quickly, simply for their reputation, and without necessarily having much retention of the books I’d read, due to my speed of reading and youthful lack of erudition and sophisticated vocabulary …) … one of the parts I liked most about it… was Barth’s somewhat anachronistic investigations of nihilism and existentialism, spoken about in the book in unmistakably yet subtly modern ways … similar to the use of anachronism (sometimes subtler, sometimes more obvious) in Pynchon’s M&D, about thorny questions about the objectivity of history, power structures in politics, drug use, religion, sexuality … anyway … I hope you get brutally murdered, Or you’re a great poster and these types of posts are more of what we need on /lit/ and I love you and I screenshoted and saved this post out of admiration and affection for it and for you, or whatever I’m supposed to say… years of liberal drug, pot and alcohol abuse have rotted my brain to the point where I honestly forget the exactly perfect, astoundingly well-remembered details of books I read in late high school or early uni years, details that would astonish and impress others with my erudition if I remembered them … because that’s all books are about, is reading them and having something impressive to say to others about them — showing off your massive literary/philosophical COCK-size in how impressively, eloquently, and interestingly you can speak of them. Also, just so people don’t accuse me of being a “Reddit c*ck” or whatever for how flamboyantly and hammily I speak, FUCK KIKES, FUCK NIGGERS AND FUCK TRANNIES or whatever I’m supposed to say. I am drunk as fuck and also was drunk when writing the brief post you replied to. Watch Pepe wink when you open this gif. He’s holding a glass of golden champagne. And he’s a strangely beautiful character, if you’ve gotten used to him and formed a psychosocial parasocial bond to him.

I will help you with the writing, characters, plot, dialogue, etc. for a nominal fee, but you'll have to figure out the proper formatting for a cartoon yourself. I don't even know what agency decides the standards for that shit. Keep me posted!

i considered calling you a hylic and telling you to make me a sandwich, but if this is your first incarnation in clown world then you should seriously join a right-hand path order and do something useful like praying this planet explodes and nobody ever has to suffer here again
