I’ve been on a Bill Nighy kick lately. During the scene in which the reclusive Nighy character invites the Bookshopeteer Mortimer over for dinner, he makes the pronouncement that bookends this strip: "They will not understand. But understanding makes the mind lazy." (If I recall.) This struck me as both a put-down as well as a pithy adage, which, appropriately, speaks to my complete disorientation lately. <br /><br />Looking up from a dark basement was also a recurring image that week, though this Gorey-esque scribble does not do justice. <br /><br />The Pharm Life pills take in some fine art: Web hex colors depicting Mortimer seated at dinner, wearing an ivory dress with sienna embroidery.
