Peter, I'm so confused! Roland Bartels is just some schmo from Shawano; he is NOT the famous French philosopher Roland Barthes. Did you get scammed, or am I too earnest to see your wink?
I followed the name down through several rabbit holes myself, replete with misspellings and alternate first names. I honestly don't know, anymore. He certainly didn't spell like an eminent philosopher, but I attributed that to second-language difficulties. Oh well. I had fun doing the drawings, anyway.
Your note struck fear in my heart! Thanks for writing it. I'll post again later today, and make sure it's fact-free. Not sure I can be trusted with statements of truth.
Oh, Peter, I'm so sorry to have struck fear! (Me, fearsome??) I myself had feared I was being naive, and for all your readers to see. I have always trusted you to speak truth--at least, when you weren't joking (which is why I thought maybe you were). I'm just relieved the joke wasn't on me this time!

Well, and I definitely enjoyed them!

I vant to be alone, unless it's a coffee date with friends!;)
Need to pick your spots, obv.
I assume this Roland is not the same guy as the headless Thompson gunner that Warren Zevon sung about?
Could be! Why not?
