I'm writing about cancer here so I don't have to write about it in my fiction. Sometimes I use naughty language.

That is so cool! Go M!
It's like I'm looking in the mirror, circa 1986.
Brilliant! What a mind.
Aside from the glorious art itself is the setting, a dead ringer for a high school cafeteria. I imagine this kid slamming lima beans (see food in teeth, mouth) and hollering in a cracking voice across a table full of ninth graders whose attention he cannot get.
I also admire the zits.
