I'm not exactly sure how to describe the rhetorical effect of these drawings, but someone with more time could do a fascinating study of how these drawings operate within Vonnegut's texts. </p> <p>I am happy to note that at Vonnegut's official website, <a href="http://www.vonnegut.com/" title="http://www.vonnegut.com/">http://www.vonnegut.com/</a> , the favicon is a replication of the asshole drawing from, if my memory serves, "Breakfast of Champions". </p> http://viz.dwrl.utexas.edu/old/content/kurt-vonnegut-author-slaughterhouse-five-and-breakfast-champions-and-hand-drawn-asshole-dies#comments Asshole Humor Kurt Vonnegut Fri, 13 Apr 2007 18:32:23 +0000 Nate Kreuter 89 at http://viz.dwrl.utexas.edu/old
