This comic is just so very, very sad.
This entire series of strips is based upon my own Pavlovian reactions to particular words or phrases. In this case, I can’t hear the term “ward” without instantly thinking of, well, y’know.
That’s right, it’s the Jane Eyreiner’s Revenge Song! Thank you, thank you. I’ll be here all night. Don’t forget to tip your waitress.
This strip is dedicated to my friend Meaghan, who I’m fairly certain would rewrite Jane Eyre in exactly the same way if given the chance.
It’s really not that far off: many of the lessons Jane learns sound like they could’ve come from Yoda anyway. “It is not violence that best overcomes hate — nor vengeance that most certainly heals injury,” springs to mind.
Today’s Lit Brick is horrible in the best possible way.

Lady Mary Wortley Montagu: To quote the Norton: “In her early teens, Lady Mary Pierrepont did something that well-bred young women were not supposed to do: she secretly taught herself Latin.” Scandalous!
