Comic Strip Dialogue_ from "The Denver Post"

 

Since Leo Tolstoy is in in vogue these days, perhaps due in part to Elif Batuman and Keira Knihgtley, there are probably folks putting "I must read 'War and Peace' this year," on their list of New Year's resolutions for 2013. Hmmm....I think I'll just put read the Dr. Seuss classic "Cat in the Hat" on my list!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

 

I think we just broke the record for use of exclamation points on this blog; on that note, here is comic strip dialouge from the Sunday Dec. 16, 2012 edition of "The Denver Post"!!!!!!!!!!!!:

 

1) "Don't touch me!" (from "Zits"!

 

2) "Oh wait a minute! What am I thiking! It's fish!" (from "Pickles") !

 

3) "She's rolling.....Pop the clutch! Pop the clutch!" (from "Rhymes with Orange")!

 

4) "Holiday Sale! Guys! Holiday Sale!" (from "Baldo")!

 

5) "Mommy! I'm thirsty!" (from "Family Circus")!

 

6) "It's Christmas Time!" (from "Marmaduke")!

Quote of the Day/Week- David Cronenberg

We conclude our month-long series of quotes from famous Canadians with a quip from Toronto-based filmmaker David Cronenberg, who like Danish film director Lars von Trier, is known for making higly provacative, daring films.

Cronenberg's latest film is "A Dangerous Method" with Keira Knightley, and it was the subject of a cover story in a recent issue of "Film Comment."

Other films by Cronenberg include "The Fly" (1986), "Naked Lunch" (1991), "Crash"
(1996) and "A History of Violence" (2005); he also directed several horror films early in his career.

Here is his quote, which certainly grabs one's attention:

"All stereotypes turn out to be true. This is a horrifying thing about life. All those things you fought against as a youth: you begin to realize they're stereotypes because they're true."
