Interesting idea, John. I hadn’t thought about that kind of audience since I’ve been so preoccupied with connecting SpongeBob with the avant-garde– but I will definitely keep this in mind. And, of course, “avant-garde” doesn’t necessarily equate with “adult.” This could be a really fun and interactive project…

Hey Michael,

I thought that you could also come up with a pedagogical thing, you know, kind of an update of Kenneth Koch’s Rose Where Did You Get that Red? and that other book he did, Wishes, Lies, and Dreams, I think it was called.

Sure– there’s definitely a combinatorial poetics going on with the cards, good call…I don’t know Dr. Sadhu’s Muffins. But I love McCaffery’s _Carnival_ and his sound poetry with The Four Horsemen.

Was waaaiting for you to mention Gertrude Stein…

I thought, “life is too short for this” at least four times.

I don’t know. Mean week’s getting to me.

If Michael Leong wrote it, I’d read it.

Zany! Holy shrimp!

Can the use of the cards in the cartoon also be considered a kind of aleatory poetics of the Tzara variety? Or likened to the “cut-up” novels of Burroughs? How about McCaffery’s Dr. Sadhu’s Muffins? Or what the flim flam?
