Geez, man. Really, "Learn You" and "Brave and True"? Those books are 95% pure instruction, and you have a problem with them because they include a small captioned cartooned image every 10 pages? The tutorial in this post is on a completely different level, but if you have a problem with those other books injecting even the slightest bit of humor into an otherwise very dry material (however interesting it may be, it is dry), then I really feel angry at whoever hurt you.

See I disagreed with the poster you're responding to but now you've gone too far in the other direction. Can't people just live and let live? Some people want cartoon-style explanations and others don't, simple as that.

Uh, yeah, that's precisely what I said, so. Agree. What about what I said indicated to you that I think cartoons are a requirement?
