A nice, easy place for freedom of speech to be eroded is comics, because comics are a natural target whenever an election comes up.

The tongue is the most remarkable. For we use it both to taste out sweet wine and bitter poison, thus also do we utter words both sweet and sout with the same tongue.

You can take for granted that people know more or less what a street, a shop, a beach, a sky, an oak tree look like. Tell them what makes this one different.

Richard opened his hand, and the key stared up at him from his palm. By my crooked teeth, asked Richard, remembering, who am I?
