You're not obliged to swallow anything you despise

I got this email from my best friend today:

"Anyway, you did something this summer. You blasphemed an old book on parody by drawing a dick on the blank page right next to the introductory page. At first it offended me but now I see it as a naive representation of a penis with balls right next to a very serious piece of writing. It's fantastic!"

I recently went through a period of drawing dicks-n-balls on everything, especially if it didn't belong to me, and especially if the person next to me would think it ghastly. Usually if someone "caught" me, I would flash them my eyebrows as though I were offering my own dick-n-balls to them.

I am glad that my naive genius is finally being understood by the rest of the world. This should have happened a long time ago.
