One critic headlined a review, in imitation of the Dubonnet ads one used to see on the Metro, UBU -- DU BLUFF -- DUBUFFET, and others were not wrong in detecting, in Dubuffet's entranced and ironic use of thick pastes, an excremental vision parallel to Jarry's.

Or the Serbian militiamen who now bestride 70% of Bosnia may simply dig in and refuse either to negotiate or pull back...
