Took Felix for lunch today. All was well, though he isn't exactly sane. Conversation can be a bit of a monologue: but I listen so wonderfully. One of the waiting staff, who had seen us here over the years thought we were brothers, or at least did so until we corrected her. Gordon Bennett. As an aside, I think Felix has been proselytised by someone or some group of folk: he seems more liable to extreme-right-wing views. I have no idea how this happened or whether he has come to these opinions by himself: but I do know they appear diametrically opposed to his previous gentle liberalism. Oh well. I shall just try a soft approach: an attempt at the most oblique Socratic debate may at least get Felix to ask different questions.

Go well and do good things.

Bought some books....

Fat Freddy's Cat Omnibus by Gilbert Shelton
Which is the companion volume to



Both of which contain comic strips that were ur-texts for my generation. Which Freak Brothers character were you?

I also picked up this

This Is Your Brain on Music by Daniel J. Levitin
which I can heartily recommend.

And this



Which is volume two of an history of erotic comics from the 70's onwards. The earlier stuff like the various cheaply produced Tijuana Bibles was covered in volume one.
