The storyline involves Pinker Rawls, the survivor of a tornado who now seems to be made
of electricity (think D.P.O. only an older man) and can pass through walls but can't
handle rubber or glass. He goes after his ex-girlfriend, June, as she's taken off with the
loot from a robbery he committed. With his finger, he writes I WANT WHAT'S MINE on the
wall. Ooooo!
There is no character, howsoever good and fine, but it can be destroyed by
ridicule, howsoever poor and witless. Observe the ass, for instance: his
character is about perfect, he is the choicest spirit among all the humbler
animals, yet see what ridicule has brought him to. Instead of feeling
complimented when we are called an ass, we are left in doubt. Mark Twain, "Pudd'nhead Wilson's Calendar"
