One expects that beneath little Jeffy’s pajamas, across his back, is a tatoo of William Blake’s The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed in Sun and that the dolls have broken mirrors in their eye sockets.

This is quickly turning into a gallery for rather disturbing pictures. “Once they prowl with hunting knives through your bedrooms, you will know the truth” is the sentence that spring to mind (at least to mine).

Where’s that from, Magnus?
You might not know in Germany; Family Circus is an American staple - one that has always disturbed me - and this is precisely why. I don’t trust images of pure innocence. They scare me.
My original title was going to be “Proof that Thomas Harris and Bil Keane are one person.”
This image is more disturbing than Anthony Hopkins eating Ray Liotta’s brains.

From Heiner Müller’s Die Hamletmaschine,
you can see a complete english translation here (it is the last sentence of the play):

according to that translation, it’s “she” not “they” (in german that would be the word “Sie” in both cases), I will still claim my translation is better.

So I started reading that thing. Whoa.
I appreciate that we’re all different. I really do. I just don’t want to know the ones that are very different.

I know, there is nothing like starting with an insane dismemberment of your fathers dead body in act one. My guess would be that this was Müllers strategy on how to get that play, which quite obviously deals with the fall of the socialistic government, passed the east german censors (he has succeed in that). But don’t you worry, Henry Müller can’t hurt you anymore, he’s been dead for over 10 years now.
