The former is substance, the latter is preachy, and if you find yourself looking for the latter then you're doing a disservice to the narrative through suggesting that it's all just dressing.Ninetyeightytwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07537175150792508067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341665527709142645.post-79145998505094073142012-11-14T21:20:16.672+00:002012-11-14T21:20:16.672+00:00Why shouldn't you look for messages?

Spot on with the escapism though - the reason the Beano's endured for so long is because the characters have barely changed, so they've always been there for everyone who's ever read them.TwoHeadedBoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14946450138433182058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341665527709142645.post-53889110145855264732012-11-14T21:18:58.726+00:002012-11-14T21:18:58.726+00:00Funds are a bit iffy since the London visit, so I&...Funds are a bit iffy since the London visit, so I'm waiting till after December's over for that one.

But it ended on a really quite sad and poignant note. I was told in uni that you should never look for "messages" in stories and poems, but if there's one to be found then it seems to be that escapism is important. Really important. Without it, "what are we gonna do"?Ninetyeightytwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07537175150792508067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341665527709142645.post-75997273014522159502012-11-14T10:48:57.405+00:002012-11-14T10:48:57.405+00:00Made me chuckle I must confess!
