READERS EVINCE SULLEN SOLIDARITY

In response to yesterday's sketch of a man wracked with existential turmoil, Dan Scannel of Penn State writes:

Hello David-

You have descended into a good sulk, and gradually you grow covetous of it, and every potential interaction with someone not sulking is viewed with paranoia. I know this feeling well. It is amplified by the irritability that follows a pot of coffee.

I recently sat on a bench on campus here at Penn State and was indulging a good sulk when someone I know happened upon me and wrenched me out of my reverie and confused and annoyed me.

Great letter, Dan!
