[Panel 1]
[Caz]
Hullo Elizabeth! I thought you
had that book group tonight.
[Elizabeth]
I did. They started all that
tired old stuff about Kipling
being "jingoistic", so I thought
I'd let them get on with it.
[Caz]
Oh, THAT. If they want someone
with views they find offensive,
how about Lovecraft?
[Panel 2]
[Elizabeth]
He thought Jews were sub-human,
and he married one. That doesn't
seem quite right, somehow.
[Caz]
And he had ideas about race
that embarrassed his peers even
BEFORE the Nazis copied them.
[Elizabeth]
I don't think they actually
COPIED them, as such...
[Panel 3]
[Caz]
True, even Lovecraft wouldn't
have put the Dalai Lama in charge
of the World Jewish Conspiracy.
[Elizabeth]
Only because the Dalai Lama
wasn't squamous enough.
Well, that and he might
not have heard of him.
[Caz]
Anyway, if these people don't care
for an author, why do they bother
to turn up to talk about him?
[Panel 4]
[Elizabeth]
Beats me. It's not as if they'd
even read the books, but they knew
all about what they didn't like.
So I could grind my teeth,
shout at them, or come here.
[Caz]
And dentistry is so
expensive these days...
