Are you talking about philosophy or the committee?

And courtesy of shweta_narayan, the webcomic that ate my life yesterday: Family Man. The Enlightenment! Judaism! University politics! Theological debates! In-jokes about Ovid! In-jokes about Rousseau! Careful research of taxonomically appropriate pine trees! Our half-Jewish protagonist just tried to defend a dissertation on Spinoza at Göttingen in 1768. The werewolves at his new lectureship are the least of his problems.

In the meantime, Kate Beaton has been reviewed by The Economist.

I am not doing anything near that interesting today. I still have this book, though.

If The Economist called me "resolutely silly," I'd be over the moon.

I expect to see it on the cover of all future books of hers.

Family Man? All that and gorgeous. I will try to set aside a day to fall into it.

To be fair, it took me about an hour to read the archives, but it is still worth falling into. I am contemplating the print volume.
