The anonymous (perhaps one day to become sub-walkley famous) cartoonman had depicted two dogs looking at a computer screen. One says 'That's not funny', the other says 'Fuck off'. It was the funniest thing I'd ever seen. The only funnier thing was when one day someone peered over my shoulder, waited a while, and said 'I don't get it'.

Furthermore you make me laugh and the whimsical and magical 'Emily and the creature' T-shirts are Christmas presents for the family. You are genuinely funny just sometimes esoteric, but that makes it all the more enjoyable. Cheer up just think of all those people wearing all those T-Shirts! I don't know how many times people have stopped me to read the '4 Exitensilist givens' and then said 'I don't get it'. Then I laugh and my laugh is worth more than money in the bank to me.
