    My favorite internet protagonist.
    He looks so at home in a field of squalor.

    I like when he says, “One word” Garrett”…and the cheering can be heard from the nearby ballgame. And yes, you do need to be organized to kill a President.

    Fascinating. Chris, how did you meet this man?

    From the mouth of one man. What a long, strange trip it will be.

    I cant think of something I have anticipated more than this.

    I can’t believe no one’s commented about Garrett’s obvious paranoia or the thing about being married and having a kid. Assuming that’s even true. I don’t have comments as much as I have questions about all of this. I feel a real need to go to talk everyone about their American dream now. Including you.

    Already in this first episode we are presented with a young person full of internal conflicts. Hearing him talking about The American Dream is a classic, as well as the “Garrett … Success” phrase. Together with the thesis (first post), we know that we the coming tuesdays will be spellbound and horrified. Garrett is an archetype, and this series is a great testament to this archetype. GL has always been one of my favourite Human-Dog characters, and it is great that he gets his time in the limelight now.

    America will never seem the same from this point on.

    And that’s a good thing. Even if it’s a little scary.

    He reminds me a lot of myself at that age. That scares the hell out of me, even though I think I ought to be okay with it.
