As you note, paranoids aren't always violent. Additionally, the hyper-vigilant aren't always paranoid, and neither paranoids nor other hyper-vigilant types are always driven to negative conclusions. A paranoid can develop affections driven by cognitive processes that are both unusual and unreasonable. <br /><br />A genuine liberal shudders at the thought of an institutional structure in which ostensible experts can incarcerate and treat people who have yet to do any wrong. But the technocratic moralizing was probably only added to this story to license the portrayal of wanton violence. <br /><br />Cardy's style evolved considerably during his career. I've seen early work such that I was surprised that it were by the same fellow who would draw teeny-boppers with such apparent relish in the late '60s and in the early '70s. But this art certainly looks more like the stuff that I bought off the rack. Daniel [oeconomist.com]https://www.blogger.com/profile/06763094285750736837noreply@blogger.com
