21. Has anyone here read the Picture of Dorian Gray?
Sun Jun 7, 2026, 06:00 PM
Sunday

It's a novel by Oscar Wilde and it's over 100 years old, but movies have been made of the book.

Wilde wrote this story like it could have been an episode in The Twilight Zone. I won't tell the whole story because I'll probably get some of the details wrong. But the main gist is that this horrible evil vain person named Dorian Gray sold his soul to the devil (in a manner of speaking) in order to maintain a handsome face that everyone would admire. But his real "soul" is depicted in a painting that he keeps at home and doesn't allow anyone to see. As he gets older and does more awful deeds, his good looks remain on his face but the painting continues to become uglier and more shriveled as time goes on.

This hideous caricature of Chump reminds me of the Dorian Gray story.
