Deconstructing Hugh MacLeod
Aha! I think I’ve discovered one of the keys to Hugh’s more incomprehensible cartoons. Today he used the phrase “bad craziness,” then qualifies said craziness as being “most of it positive.” If I remember (and I have a nasty good memory), “bad craziness” is a caption or thought balloon or something in one of the original illustrations for Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
Come clean, Hugh! Fear and Loathing has admitted to keeping Hugh MacLeod in his back pocket. Will you admit to keeping Fear and Loathing in yours? Or at least in your brainpan? Sometimes the similarity between your cartoons and those in the book is scary. (For that matter, your ‘toons themselves are scary. But I love ‘em.)
