Liked the Dante!
You have a winner with that last one! Sounds like my life these days.
Speaking as a former English teacher … wonderful!
Ha! Classics in ten words or under. I’ll hire you to write my synopsis!
Your cartoons are some of the best I have ever read.
Thanks!
Based on these , I only want to read Dante’s inferno!! Awesome work!!
Love this one, John ❤
Thanks Lisa!
:- ))))))
but to pick some nits:
> kills everyone
kills *almost* everyone–the dog and the wife get to live. but there’s no room for “almost”, so I won’t complain
> Murderer feels bad
actually he feels, say, quizzy. a little sad, but proud, too. passive-aggressive hither-thither, he can’t quite tell. but of course I won’t complain
I love your abridge stuff

Love these, but where were you before I tried reading Walden?!
Hilarious! Please do the major religious books next.
Great synopsis.
How about “The Bible” w/ 1-word — God (or w/ 3 — God & Man) … not that I believe (trust me, I don’t at all).
I the BIBLE should be followed in the next panel by the KORAN followed by another panel METAMORPHOSES followed by a pile of sacred texts 10 feet high, all with the same summaries: OBEY AUTHORITY & BEWARE. YOU’RE GOING LIVE FOREVER.
SORRY. YOU’RE GOING TO LIVE FOREVER.
Thank you. I could barely get thought the first twenty pages of Crime and Punishment. Finally can get rid of the book and the ebook.

Do the Great Gatsby next! That’ll make my day. Love your comics!
