   Yea but so what? I can't be the only person to notice how people sometimes   
   come in and out of your life like a double act. I don't think he draws   
   Deacon or Jones as a essentially comic characters.

   If I had the time or the inclination, there's an essay in it.

   How does that work then? You're saying people only empathise with the sex   
   opposite to their own? A very queer notion.
