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.

I will come to a time in my backwards trip when November eleventh, accidentally my birthday, was a sacred day called Armistice Day. When I was a boy, and when Dwayne Hoover was a boy, all the people of all the nations which had fought in the First World War were silent during the eleventh minute of the eleventh hour of Armistice Day, which was the eleventh day of the eleventh month. It was during that minute in nineteen hundred and eighteen, that millions upon millions of human beings stopped butchering one another. I have talked to old men who were on battlefields during that minute. They have told me in one way or another that the sudden silence was the Voice of God. So we still have among us some men who can remember when God spoke clearly to mankind. Armistice Day has become Veterans' Day. Armistice Day was sacred. Veterans' Day is not. So I will throw Veterans' Day over my shoulder. Armistice Day I will keep. I don't want to throw away any sacred things. -Kurt Vonnegut

@johniadarola.bsky.social True, Mickey Mouse is an everyman character with a much more interesting supporting cast--that's always a problem with reader-surrogate characters. That said, much like Scrooge and Donald, Mickey's personality really flourishes in comics.

Really, Google AI? Not a single inherent connection? You can't find just one? I swear, you'd miss it if it was in front of your face.
Screenshot of a Google search result that says: AI Overview There is no inherent connection between Edmond Rostand's play Cyrano de Bergerac and Laurence Sterne's novel Tristram Shandy; they are two distinct works of literature from different authors and periods, though both explore themes of human flaws and the construction of identity. Cyrano de Bergerac is a 19th-century Romantic play about a talented but physically insecure poet. Tristram Shandy is an 18th-century novel known for its experimental narrative, characterized by digressions and a focus on the chaos and complexity of life, according to the Course Hero description.
