A comment on My Treadwater Desk. Parent comment

The whole site is a parody.

I sure hope no one actually works immersed in a well in the basement of a New York brownstone.

It was the kids' names that tipped me off. Dagwood and Spaniel? At least I hoped it was a parody after that part.

Yeah, it's a silly portmanteau of his actual kids' names: Daniel and Spagwood.

I know. My comment was supposed to be a joke. A parody of the type comments you sometimes see on here for the more serious submissions. I apologize if I have offended anyone.

I doubt you offended anyone. I hadn't realized that you were commenting in the same tone as the original.
