I'm a scholar and I consume slop

Slop was the subject of my studies!

I'm a scholar and I consume slop

Imagine going back in time 50 years to see some Civil War researcher and telling them, "oh yeah read your book in college, excellent slop!"

Fellow slop-consuming scholar chiming in.

I study slop in the very literal sense, because I'm a food scholar lol.

Ah, I did my graduate work on superheros and the evolution of heroic figures in popular culture

Which, believe me, meant I read a whole lot of garbage

That's a fascinating subject! A friend of mine's partner specializes in the semiotics of comic books. I've had great conversations with him talking slop in general.

If scholars aren’t on my side, I know feral-hog got my back!
