You also seem quite pretentious but hey you're kind of mysterious so perhaps there's something legit behind the odd, quasi-jargon.

Of course I'm pretentious; there is not enough people like me yet that have given us a collective label. Either that, or we are older than a modern social constructs comprehensions, One of the two. Despite my bias, I truly find no difference between the impoverished and the established, for all intents and purposes the lunatic and the doctor are one in the same, just at opposite paths of life. While I can neither confirm nor deny the perceptions of reality of another individual, what I can do...is choose to help the person along their own path, and that is what I do. Only I don't charge people for this, I do it out of merit as contribution to society. I could, probably, make a hack business out of the art of doing so, but I prefer not to. Being referred to as crazy does not scare me. What scares me is the idea of being right and not being credited for being right, which is how pretty much all post-modern science and medicine such suffered accordingly happened; Guy says: "Hey, you might not want to drink that rat water..." The struggling socialite says: "O shutup, you!" About a month and a half to two months later, that aristocrat is dead. it doesn't take a genius to realize that Death is more accurate than the theological gods of mythology given the rise of modern scientific advancement.

Yeah when I said "quasi-jargon" it's because you don't use actual jargon but you speak in an idiosyncratic way that sounds like you've gone round and round and round in your head coming to conclusions that seem reasonable to you but when you actually say this **** to other people it seems impenetrable and bizarre and you don't seem aware of this.

Some people who are incautious might end up relating to what you say by filling in the blanks and feeling like they get the gist without having the context of why you say what you say and what are the experiences that influence what you say that might actually show you to be a crackpot. This could have the result of speaking to the kind of person who is begging to be drawn into a cult by someone who makes sense kinda sorta not really but simply doesn't use critical thinking to decide if you're just crazy.

Loved those strips extra much as a kid. Calvin the space hero was named Spiff in the Danish translation. I don't know if that was the original name of the character.

In a drawer somewhere, I even have a half complete attempt at drawing my own Spiff strip.

He kinda reminds me of I think Dracula 2000 where the heroes capture Dracula and read up on vampire lore to figure out how to slow him down long enough to be able kill him, so they tie him up with all these ridiculously complicated knots cause vampires are psychology incapable of doing anything when they have knots to untie but Dracula unties all the knots in three seconds and then they throw a bunch of bird seed at him or whatever cause vampires are obsessed with counting things but he counts all the bird seed in like two seconds before they even hit the ground cause he's such a badass at counting and then the heroes are like wuuuuuuut cause their great plan only stopped Dracula for five seconds and now they're all gonna die.
