Creative Contemporary English Writing 101-2-3: Elly's class....

[dreadedcandiru2]

As we've seen in the past, Lynn takes a rather annoying logical shortcut by assuming that similar things are the same thing when they clearly are not. The result, of course, is to make her look somewhat foolish; you and I can see that a five year old boy and seven year old should not be confused owing to their being at different phases of development but Lynn does not. She sees them as being similar in age so it seems to her that they must naturally think and act in similar ways. This odd belief has come into play with Elly's night school class; since Lynn sees Contemporary English Lit and Creative Writing as being similar enough to be interchangeable, she behaves as if they're the same thing and says so. The result, as we'll see, is just as disappointing as the yo-yoing maturity levels of the Patterson children.

I think Lynn is well past the stage of thinking logically about whether strips do or do not go together. After all, we have actually seen strips reprinted now that make John Patterson look good. That clearly tells me that Lynn is simply going back through her material to see what has not been reprinted already, and is sticking it in. She is trying to fill time between now and Early Spring and no longer cares what is in those reprints.

Apathy Now.......

Which is both a sad and enjoyable thing; it's sad that she's given up caring what she publishes but since the results of her apathy make a nonsense of her attempts to create a lead-in to straight reprints that hags together rationally, we have lots of things to snark.
