The absurd in a single cartoon

6 comments:

  1. Speaking of absurdist cartoons, if anyone can help me out with this one, I would be incredibly grateful.

    I'm trying to locate a copy of the cartoon in which a harried attorney walks briskly by a homeless gentleman sitting on a park bench. The cartoon bubbles above both of their heads reads the same: "There but for the grace of God go I . . ."

    If anyone can provide a link or info, thanks in advance--

  2. Being a New Yorker reader, I think that's where I've seen this cartoon.
    Good luck.

  5. I have another one: I remember someone on this blog mentioning a peanuts cartoon in which one of the characters suddenly perks up and says, "I suddenly realize the meaninglessness of it all," or something along those lines. I would be eternally grateful if someone helped me out here.

    Thanks!
