I learned it from He-Man comics: Skeletor was fond of ‘egad’, and also of the equally fun ‘gadzooks’!

To paraphrase Blackadder III, “turning heads, and, dare I say, not a few stomachs.”

And immediately on its tail: “He has the right to judge harshly, for he chose his parents well.”

The above from The Way of All Flesh. Honestly, though, I was once pulled over for a driving infraction & my Black passenger said it was the first time he wasn’t searched, because he was with a white man. Not being unfairly searched isn’t White ‘Privilege’, it’s a fucking ‘Right’ denied to too many.

Just starting re-reading The Way of all Flesh, in advance of getting the newest once I’ve caught myself up. Weirdly, honestly hoping Raven would somehow avoid his scar, as though this time it could be different 😂
Any rate, look forward to the new book. 3 more Renfield shows to go if you’re able 😉
