When Glen Baxter cartoons go horribly wrong.

James Joyce (at left, with the bow-tie) explains to his newly-hired secretary (Samuel Beckett, at right) the full range of his secretarial duties. The levitating furniture does not look very comfortable to me.

Beckett would not be so sanguine if he knew of the long-term effects of bread-pellet abuse, as shown in Joyce's long-term companion Nora Barnacle, who has spiralled further into helpless addiction.

Licorice in the nose. Okay, could be worse.

Richie Goulding was taking bread pills for Bright's Disease in Ulysses, but Joyce didn't specify nasal insertion. Joyce and Beckett playing pitch and putt is amusing.

"bread pellet abuse"

I've been told by little birds that it's nothing to worry about.

If it's clear fluid coming out, you have probed too far.
