I found that the substantial concepts behind Mason & Dixon were obscured, most of the time, by overwhelming layers of comedy, as if TRP is choosing to subsume these "Serious Ideas" in cloaks of parody. Of course, that's "Postmodernism", ain't it?---re-contexualizing "History's" stories? Again, if there is a "statement" in Pynchon's two appearances on the Simpsons it is: "These are my children."

 That's a devilish commentary, tempting and discouraging simultaneously. I 
 want to beleive that complicated puns etc. will be geared to something 
 substantial in terms of ideas.
