Do I contradict myself? Well then, a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time.

Hershel Parker has died. (Two months ago, but I'm only now finding out.)

Hershel Parker, Melville Scholar of Ahab-Like Obsessiveness, Dies at 90
The author of an exhaustive two-volume biography, he was “fanatical about his approach to scholarship and infatuated with Melville,” a colleague said.

In May 2009 two comic strips that are published right next to each other in the Boston Globe ran strikingly similar cartoons about pink snails meeting on a path and sharing a one-line gag.
Scan of two adjacent one-panel comic strips featuring pink snails talking to one another. The framing and colors of each is strikingly similar. 

The first comic is Rhymes with Orange by Hilary B. Price. In it, the snail on the right has an uncurled shell and is saying, "I just had the best massage!"  

The second comic is F Minus by Tony Carrillo. In it, the snail on the right has left a slime trail that reveals it has traveled a short distance to the right before turning around and traveling left again.  The snail on the left is saying, "Dude! Long time no see!"

Panel from Detective Comics #730 (1999) by Bob Gale and Alex Maleev.

Batman is seen walking through a narrow urban environment, thinking "She made me realize how dependent I too had become on technology. I'd gotten so used to databases and quick answers that it took me a moment to remember that my finest, most reliable computer was right here with me. My Brain. To use it, all I had to do was think."

Although this comic book is from 1999, the user is reposting it in 2026 because of its relevance to the modern scourge of AI and cognitive atrophy.

Image 2: A photograph of a pile of comic books featuring the pulp hero, The Shadow.

Image 3: A screenshot of smartphone editing software editing the previous photograph. The "erase shadows" option is highlighted. 

Image 4: The same editing software, but now the comic books are gone, revealing only the background from the original image.  The software interface now says "no shadows detected."
