I love the Oatmeal. My universe has been explained so succinctly by poorly drawn comics, and I love love love it. So the Oatmeal explaining Twilight? Game on.
what happen when you talk too fast (and too often) and force evolve English by combining words to abbreviate. Combreviations are dogs, bred to be likable, useful, and friendly, while most words come out of the natural selection of English. Sure, they may not be the fittest, but damn if everyone doesn't love them.
So, instead of the MC being a Mary Sue for the AUTHOR, she's a Mary Sue for ALL POTENTIAL READERS. Genius.
ReplyDeleteThat. Was awesome.
ReplyDeleteI am also obsessed with The Oatmeal. Husband showed me this the other day and said, "Okay, so here's how you make your book a best seller."
ReplyDeletethanks, babe...
