Not sure if anyone else regularly reads the comics page, but one comic from my paper called Brewster Rocket, the 3/12/08 strip is a hilarious view of first person versus third person narration.

The MC of the strip, a not-too-bright starship captain, has been narrating his life. Go back about a week to get all the laughs. Today's was an amusing send-up of the concept of obscuring details from the antagonist in a story.

Thanks for the link.
I performed a DELAYED laugh.
One of those; huh? OH, that was really funny! I'm a lame-brain for not getting it immediately.
The process took approx. .5 of a sec.(Like my narrative?)

That strip has a new fan.
