The goons at Something Awful have a field day photoshopping downgraded and cut-rate literary classics. Part 2.
I started crying around A Canticle for Lebowski and totally lost it with Cullen. Thanks for posting this.

Though it looks like some goons just wanted an excuse to shoehorn in their unrelated literary photoshops. Boo, I sez.

I used to really enjoy these years ago, then they hit a patch of really boring themes and uninspired entries and I stopped bothering to look. These are good and make me hopeful that if I poke around I'll find some more good themes.
