Not Funny if It Has to Be Explained

[alanajoli]

Owen Barfield is my favorite philosopher of all time (though my views on mythology, while influenced by him, are more solidly related to Tolkien's essay "On Fairy Stories").

Order of the Stick is one of my very favorite Web comics.

Put them together and you get this, which is much funnier when taken in context of both.

Here's to hoping that someone else will find this funny, because if I have to explain it, it won't be.
