And so, by inserting Circle into the myths of Sisyphus,Tantalus, and Ixion, I have completely used up any shred of humor that one could possibly glean from the concept of ‘circle.’ Now, stay tuned for more Circle and Almost Circle comics that are so devoid of humor that they’re essentially anti-humor. It’s eleven variations on

I’m not certain if Circle is venturing into the underworld in an Orpheistic quest to find peace for his suffocated love, or if it’s just an extension of my classical obsessions at the time.

Whenever I’m eating at an authentic Chinese restaurant, one such as the Din Ho Chinese Barbecue up on Austin’s mid-northish side, I am faced with the dilemma of choosing between ordering a dish that I know will be delicious or one which I know will be interesting.
