In either alternative it still plays out logically: in this case, as an Epic Fail for the editor (who really ought to know better if s/he is marking).
You could say it is a universally logical literal literary epic fail.

I hadn’t read basketcase before (aside from a few StumbleUpons), but after following Matt’s link I became an instant fan.

Yeah, and I didn’t notice it until he linked to BasketCase in comic 962.

Sure, he’s “in” the Iliad, but as a baby, and only for long enough to be placed in front of a plow. He’s featured much more prominently in the Odyssey.

Hey just wanted to point out that I often find your website to be down, I don’t know if it’s a bandwidth thing or what but yeah, sites kinda borked.
