Prophetic Proportions

Sharing Options

[No sense of proportion] “is why so much of the contemporary ‘prophetic’ witness to our civil rulers is such a joke. It is not so much dressed in camel hair with a leather belt as it is decked out in some Kuba the Clown outfit. And then it blames the lack of responsiveness on hardness of heart, and walks off saying o tempora! o mores! in a Donald Duck voice” (Empires of Dirt, p. 26).

Wouldn’t the whole thought bubble be better expressed with a Daffy Duck illustration?

Both ducks have expressed a heightened degree of exasperation. But you’re probably right — Daffy Duck instead of Donald Duck.
