E.B. White once said that explaining humor is like dissecting a frog--you can do it, but the frog tends to die in the process. Steve Benson demonstrates this very well. I post this mainly because Monkey Brad and I took a cartooning class from Benson 25 or so years ago and a) he hasn't aged well (Benson, that is--Monkey Brad looks great) and b) this is pretty much what the class was like. Which is why I can't draw a cartoon. That, and I can't draw anything. Oh, and I'm drunk. So there's that.
What was I talking about? Oh, Benson. He's funny. An asshole, but often funny, at least in print. Just not as funny as he was 25 years ago.
