Karl Marx

you know, i don't know jack about Marxism. lenin. stalin. yeah, russian guys. lenin first, then stalin. but Marx is the Uber-Russian, or so it seems. and that mysterious group, The Left... i feel like i am trying to crack the codes of the bad guys in an episode of The Tick (i hope you have all seen The Tick and Arthur battle The Swiss, the gang who goes about with swiss army knives on their backs, pulling out implements for every need and occasion.). i wonder what The Left would look like in cartoon form. hmm. now that i am thinking about it, i think maybe The Tick DID battle joseph stalin at some point.

in addition to my marxism angst, i think my cat has a noticeable loose tooth. crikey. some days it seems optimal to just run off and become a ship's captain.

note: The Tick DID INDEED battle joseph stalin, or at least stalin made an appearance assisting The Terror. AND there was a second, fake stalin named "stalingrad" who was a grad student who dressed up and acted like stalin as an homage. The Tick is/was a GREAT cartoon. here are two links to the hall of villians The Tick and Arthur (his sidekick, an accountant in a moth suit) went up against:

El Seed was also a great super-villian.
