You think that’s bad, Melville cycled through a bunch of opening lines for Moby Dick before settling on the iconic one.

Call me Stuart.
Call me Wally.
Call me Billy Bob.

None of those were cutting it.

  Mrs Haversham had some of his Mom’s characteristics in Great Expectations and there’s a bit of Pip in Dickens as well.

This may be your best cartoon, ever. I don’t know, though; you have so many great ones. I’m trying to decide, like the Dickens.

  Of almost 500 cartoons it is one of my favorites. The ones with literary or historical allusions just “kick” perfectly with people with that knowledge.
