The metacartoonist ushers in a surprising new thrust in minimalist cartooning with a quick cameo of Pokey the Penguin, in utter defiance
of all established principles of copyright. Intellectual property, of course, is a bourgeois invention of the running-dog lackeys of
corporate America, and as such is utterly inconsequential to any serious intellectual endeavor in the new millenium.
Oh, all right. Pokey is here. Try not to hurt your brain.
