![Jean-Luc Nancy by Ernie Bushmiller
First panel: a sign invites Nancy to visit the bank’s loan department
Second panel: Nancy stands at the loan officer’s desk. She says to him – and now recall, here, that today’s gag has Nancy as the nigh-incomprehensible 20th century French philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy, particularly as exhibited in his seminal work Being Singular Plural – she says,
“set up the "Ro-
man" paradigm:
the site of circus games,
burlesque theater,
and the
theater of cruelty;”
To which the loan officer replies,
“WHAT FOR ?”
Third panel:
Nancy rejoins,
“𝘞𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦 [nous faisons sens],
not by setting a
price or value,
but by exposing
the absolute value
that the world
𝘪𝘴 by itself.”
To which the loan officer replies,

Fourth panel:
Nancy and the loan officer enjoy ice cream cones at the circus and watch a silly clown](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ole2tfyi5kmbvcrg2kypxem2/bafkreifpbiu6zxci4mqeptjklot76knwszlxblgnffws4c22dcti75cklq)
