The metacartoonist deftly sideswipes all self- as well as public doubt, boldly
declaring the present level of productivity to be a minimalist return from
hiatus -- the predictable result is that the public continues to doubt, given
their patent inability to appreciate the subtlety of a joke expressed in
terms of the delivery itself. In the meantime, he also pioneers the minimalist
newsflash by declaring the acting in Star Wars Ep II to be wooden. Film at 11.
