A nod to Kierkegaard and Walker Percy: existentialist tomfoolery, political satire, literary homage, word mongering, a year-round summer reading club, Dylanesque music bits, apocalyptic marianism, poetry, fiction, meta-porn, a prisoner work-release program.

New avatars!
It’s all about the pigtails on Comrade Fountain Pen.
I knew it was only a matter of time before you started grumping about your lack of a neck.
Shouldn’t an enlarged duplicate of Comrade Bullhorn’s speech-bubble be emerging from the big end of the megaphone?
It’s coming from the Chomsky black-box area of his frontal cortex. There would actually need to be a new frame with the enlarged text, to show the time sequence from brain to sound waves.
I like the way you think (about how to represent the way people think).
TAGGED WITH: SEQUENTIAL ART
I’m not grumping. Although I do think Mitsui poked more fun at you and me than he did with the others. My theory is it’s because he tuned into the fact that we’re the token liberals of the Kollektiv.
Wha? You think I LIKE looking like this? My wife has to get out the garden rake every morning just to find a part…
Sheesh!
JOB
p.s. It’s about time you liberals found yourselves being regarded as a token SOMEWHERE!
I’m not really a liberal, but I play one on Korrektiv TV.
The Korrektiv Alan Colmes?
But JOB! In the popular imagination, aren’t liberals often regarded as a-tokin’?
…and after election returns came in on Nov. 6, even a midnight tokin’…
JOB
I happily admit that I have the most flattering avatar by far. I regret not taking Matthew’s suggestion and using it as the author photo. Although I’m not sure what to do about the avatar generally, or rather I’m not sure what to do about the pseudonym. Get rid of it, and simply attach the avatar to my real name? Keep it for blog posting? (the little I do!) Get rid of the real name? (should have considered that more before I published the book)
Wait, wait: Brian Jobe, the author of Bird’s Nest in Your Hair, is also a pseudonymous member of the Korrektiv Kollektiv!?!?!?
It’s cute, Angelico, the way you pretend it isn’t you.
Potter’s not grumping; Lickona’s just projecting.
I cannot wait…
We are the kollectiv.
Kollektiv.
Get your k’s to fly right, man!
JOB
‘The rest of you, get back to work!’
From each according to his ability.
‘Kollektiv Writing Unit Brian Jobe is granted one week of bender privileges!’
To each according to his need.
All your books are belong to us.
JOB
JOB is correct, and by the way, you didn’t write that.
Hey Lickona, are those bubbles a feature of Adobe?
I dunno. I use a program called Comic Life. It comes in handy for the day job.
Thanks! Bender has been postponed due to stomach flu, unfortunately. May I have an extension?
Oh man, I am so sorry. Seriously, it’s the worst.
In fact, it has brought me to the brink of questioning my faith.
I know you have to earn your ‘bully’ moniker, Big Jon, but it’s awfully mean to do your Lickona impression right here where he can see it.
Still, kudos: It’s almost dead-on!
The stomach flu made me wrestle with the problem of evil.
It made me wrestle with wine, women and song…
JOB
Noxious particles claim another victim.
I’m praying that your body may quickly recover the strength it needs to withstand a legendary bender. Salve!
And yet, here we are: commenting on a two-day-old blog post.
