"When a grandiloquent phrase from Dune is paired with Watterson’s
whimsical art, there is no punchline. The result feels almost like an
anti-joke, a la the similarly tweaked comic Garfield Minus Garfield; the
text rarely fails to breathe new life into the art."

Good on him for persisting in the face of the usual legal threats.
