He's thought-provoking for sure, and accessible (at least on the surface), but I don't see how he would be characterized as witty. Do you mean how he outwitted the Pharisees and others on so many occasions?
>thought provoking
The Simpsons as an entity is closer to Shakespeare than DFW
>not posting the bar fight over pitt the elder and lord palmerston
A Confederacy of Dunces
I always imagine Pynchon's novels set in the Simpson's universe
obviously this
What do you suggest then as a better way of conveying that idea
Simpsons is James Joyce of /tv/
Bojack horseman is Dostoyevski of /tv/
There is nothing better its like edge of cartoon and television as a artform
>inb4 people shit on Bojack Horseman (the show) for being pseudo-intellectual, because Bojack Horseman (the man-horse) is a pseudo-intellectual
>inb4 people not analyzing the s3e11 through the lense of T.S. Eliots 'mythic method'
pleb
I don't see how vinnegut and DFW are bad answers.
Don DeLillo?
The prequel trilogy is the Ulysses and Shakespearian Oeuvre of /tv/.
