I stumbled across this webcomic the other night, and could not help but make the connection to the readings from this week, particularly the chapter in Theory Toolbox about "Posts." This is a perfect example of postmodernism: graphs which are about nothing other than themselves.
At first, I have to admit that I was downright alarmed to be thinking about literary theory outside of class, but I then realized that this is the whole point of learning about it: to be able to apply theoretical lenses in everyday life.
I will never be able to view ironic Internet graphics the same way again. Who knew that Internet geeks were really modern-day literary theorists in disguise?
Hahaha great graphs, I love coming across things like this and always want to email to my professors. However you never know how they will take them. Some professors greatly appreciate them with good humor others give you an F on your next paper.
