"Greatest Generation Dads. Fought in the Big One, never mentioned it, worked hard, could bench-press a Rottweiler while staring it down, able to fix a car with a wrench and two paper clips. The voice of authority, but not for authority's sake. Disinclined to handle the mushy stuff. Not flummoxed by it, but it's hard to really connect with your kid's tears over a broken 45 rpm record when your baseline for human tragedy is, oh, Anzio." - James Lileks

Happy New Year!

This is something that had to be shared with everyone on the internet, as fast as humanly possible, with no time for proper scanning and editing, because it is brilliant to the point of personal pain. I give you the new webcomic, written by me and ingeniously illustrated by my sister Liz: Bach v. Handel. That is the full image in its original format; to make it fit within the confines of my webpage, I reproduce it here panel by panel, with explanation:

Here, Handel plays for Bach the "Amen" from his masterpiece, "Messiah."
Bach is unimpressed, and takes over the keyboard to play "Dona Nobis Pacem," the final movement from his mass in B-minor.
Handel cries a little, unable to admit that Bach is the superior counterpoint composer.
Here, we see that Bach and Handel have shared a marijuana cigarette and are now making out.
