It made Crunchy Pete smile
Better than the scientist turns lesbian one, previous. Crunchy Pete thinks he missed the joke in that one

I like the mug.
Police said they spent some time working out if they could charge the man with being armed with a weapon, as technically he was armed with part of a fish.

I don't remember the last time I've been pleased with a run of comics like this last week or so.

It's because of our loving, gentle guidance.

Is the title of this thread a Fringe reference?

Yes. Anybody who says otherwise is a Replicant.

I don't know. I didn't really enjoy his books from the mid to late 60s when he was apparently more or less constantly and severely intoxicated (the afterword in A Scanner Darkly talks about this some). They are brilliant ideas, but they are so disjointed they can be a bit tough to read. Frequently while reading Androids Dream I'd think I missed a page because he jumped around so wildly and his transitions were so rough. His earlier works are good, but the resolutions can be kind of weak. His stuff from the 70s on is amazing. I've only read about half his novels, so maybe I'm wrong.Dane Raider wrote:This man is proof you don't need to be sane to be a fantastic author.Kaharz wrote:Phillip K. Dick

No, dude, you can't be wrong if you're stating an opinion.Kaharz wrote:I've only read about half his novels, so maybe I'm wrong.
I also found Scanner Darkly a bit tough going; it's one of those books you're better just drifting through, not worrying if you've missed something, and that might hold true about his wider works too. Think of reading them like looking at a properly abstract painting -- it doesn't matter if you're not catching all the details, the beauty is in the overall effect.
And it's better if you squint.

I thought A Scanner Darkly was one of the most coherent books I've read by Dick. Yea, it is a bit tough since the main character is more or less insane, but I didn't have any problems with it.
On another PK Dick note, if you haven't seen the android someone made of made of him, you should google it. It is amazing and creepy.

Ah, thanks. Fringe must have been a reference to that too.
