Cartoons on Tuesday

 Jason Adam Katzenstein borrows from the greats. He empathizes with Kafka's Gregor Samsa, and he imagines a "Metamorphosis" sequel: "At 3:43 PM, Gregor awoke from a nap, feeling even more tired and hungry in this frustrating hour between lunch and dinner...." JAK also rewrites the Bible: "On the seventh day, God tried to relax, but He struggled with the work/life balance, so he distractedly watched  30 Rock  while keeping open a Google file called  New EARTH Ideas ....." Finally, JAK empathizes with the Sirens, from "The Odyssey": "Every gig now is about luring sailors to their death. Remember when it used to be about the music?" What a gift -- and this guy is still fairly young. I hope that he'll write a new book.
