“Ah, Bartleby! Ah, Pokémonity!”
– my idea for a fake Herman Melville quote that was just so stupid I had no choice but to write it out for all of you to see
I knew I wanted to make a comic about Herman Melville’s Bartleby, the Scrivener. I knew I wanted there to be a lazy pun on “I would prefer not to.” There were countless directions I could have taken this. I chose this direction and there’s nothing you can do about it.
