It is intriguing that Annise wears her uniform to an art show. (Perhaps she has just gotten off work?) This episode offers possibly an allegorical commentary on modern art. Not necessarily a negative commentary; after all, obsessions come in all forms, and where would we be without them?

Once, long ago, at the University of Chicago, famous literary scholar Bernard Weinberg, having learned that I (a first-year graduate student) was working on a degree in Comparative Literature (whereas he was in the Romance Langs & Lits Department), asked me: “What do you compare it to? SHIT?” To which I did not reply, though I wish I had: “Yes! When it deserves it!”
All seriousness aside, however, I sympathize with young Ralph to the extent that I think our attitudes towards shit are by and large much too negative.
