“All Because of Poetry”: The Sincerity of Kent Johnson’s Satire

“It sucks being a famous poet. / All your time gets taken up on / the phone or in answering emails / from people looking for a blurb, / and stuff. It’s totally tiresome!”

Kent Johnson and the Future of Poetic Satire

Satirists live in a kind of poetic permanent revolution: “to mock,” a Greek proverb goes, “is to thumb through Archilochus” (Guy Davenport, 7 Greeks).

Octave 47

Staring down the barrels of two seperate guns, Octave faces his near certain death. Will he be able to make it out alive, or is this truly the end for our hero?

This week hasn’t been great. Some might even say it was the worst week ever. How bad is that, you ask? I’ll let Ruby tell you.

Casper and Fauntleroy 26

As Fauntleroy wakes up from what turns out to be a dream, he grapples with the blurring line between reality and illusion. In the belly of a fish inhabited by monks, however, epistemological issues might be the least of his worries!

Octave 46

After weeks of pursuit and capture, the pirates are negotiating Octave’s release to his patrons. Will their demands be reasonable, or is Octave really doomed this time?

There are many ways to deal with panic attacks…but panty attacks? Let’s just hope they stay confined to the comics!

Casper and Fauntleroy 25

Fauntleroy upon Fauntleroy parade around a magical aquatic world! Can such a strange and wonderful place be real, and if it is…can Fauntleroy ever escape it?

Octave 45

After being held captive on Debonairia for days, Octave is finally offered up as a hostage. Who have his abductors made a deal with, and what will Octave think as his island adventure draws to its apparent close?

Nobody likes it when unwanted critters make noise in the walls. If you think you’ve got it bad, you should hear what the rats in Ruby’s house get up to!

Casper and Fauntleroy 24

While behind the mystery door, Fauntleroy sees and experiences things weird and unexplainable. What is going on inside this world, inside this room, inside this fish?

For the first time since Caesura’s return in 2020, Octave took a week off. Ruby imagines a beautiful timeline where he enjoys a vacation in Boston!

Casper and Fauntleroy 23

Curiosity killed the cat, but without it Fauntleroy just wouldn’t be Fauntleroy. What will he find behind the forbidden door?
