Droopy is like a never-ending Bobcat Goldthwaite routine. It was irritating when it started, and it gets progressively more grating as it goes along, until you wish someone would just exercise some mercy and pull the plug on it.

This is an extremely poor analogy and I'm guessing you've not seen much of Bobcat in the last 15 years or so. I recommend investigating his heartening evolution into the rather sweet man currently directing movies today. And, I might say, a man not devoid of a pretty accurate understanding of both himself and his career. Marc Maron's interview with him, as in nearly every Maron interview, presents him in a light both moving and human. One of the things I like best about the current Bobcat is his obvious love for his daughter and apparent close relation with her. She seems to be quoted in every anecdote he currently tells, which tells me that 1) he takes his relationship with her seriously and 2) that he takes young women's opinions seriously.

I admit I'm surprised. I would never have guessed this would be the genesis of the guy I knew back in Syracuse a million years ago. But, seeing people change and develop into actual human beings is always an inspiring thing.

(And I'll put in a plug here for Maron's podcast which is not just entertaining, but an important bit of oral history.)

And anyway, to compare self conscious theater of the absurd with completely unconscious eruptions of absurdity makes for a less precise comparison. We're dealing the shallow end of false consciousness, not commedia dell'arte.

Be that as it may, my response to Bobcat back in the day is similar to my response to Droopy now. I speak of my own experience, and I see no reason to retract it, your different experience notwithstanding.

So when Bobcat was still doing comedy, he wasn't an actual human being?
