Poetry & Blindfolds

I love this guy.

Hugleikur Dagsson is a cartoonist from Iceland and has created some of the foulest and funniest cartoons I’ve ever seen.  I’m including a small sampling in this blog.  I suspect Dagsson has spent a lot of time outside during the Icelandic winters, wherein his brain got frozen and thawed repeatedly.  The results are these over-the-top and over-the-line comics.  You can find more about him at http://www.dagsson.com/.

It is my wont in bookstores to walk in and allow whatever literary winds blowing that day to direct me to a book.  And then I buy that book.  Try it; it’s a fun exercise.  It is how I discovered and red Sylvia Plath’s “Arial”, Kerry Cohen’s “Loose Girl” and Hugleikur Dagsson’s “Should You Be Laughing At This?”   I enjoyed “SYBLAT” very much, but can readily admit that the humor is not for everyone.  In fact, I daresay it’s not for many at all.

But I love this guy.
