Hippies, Yippies, and everyone in between:
The latest “tit-for-tat” in the Argus regarding the comics section has us convinced that attempts at deconstructing the nominal aspects of our pre-gender/heterogeneous superego have utterly failed in really illuminating the true hegemony of the Argus editorial board. While we really enjoy the weekly discursive liberties taken by writers such as Jake Gold, Evan Carp, et al, the time has come to end this petty complaintative conversation. But how in the world can old Wes fight back against the evils of liberalized, deconstructing dialogue? Trashing the comics writers is just the final straw here; I could go all the way back to Dr. Andie Kerr’s Wespeak of the spring of 2004, or the vitriolic chatter about CEO’s and secretary hoes (for the record, we object to the objectification of the Marxist paradigm in these parties; why must they be capitalist? Why not central planners and slave labor parties in honor of the great chairman Mao? Or millionaire and masses parties in honor of America’s growing oligarchy? But we digress…)
The point here, the point that must not be missed, is this: Foodstuff fuckin’ rules. If you can’t see the comic cartoony greatness in a comic such as Foodstuff, Feb. 28, 2006, then perhaps you deserve the hemmorhoidal irritation and inksmear that results from wiping your ass with the newspaper. “How was it?” says the plum to the prune. “I feel weird,” says the prune. I bet the Argus staff had toilet paper printed with Jake Gold’s WeSpeak on each square. Because denigrating the Argus comics page and ignoring issues such as the WeSpeak of one Mr. CARP is like complaining that your Gucci bag doesn’t have a long enough strap for your Ferrari entryway. Get with it, man. The comics aren’t oppressing you, the institutional stagnation of old Wes, of your privileged high school, are shaping your sense of humor in such as way that you just don’t get it. Get with it, get foodstuffs…try talking to that burrito you eat for lunch at campus center, maybe you too will see the light.
