Last week, Tom Scharpling, host of WFMU's
The Best Show, chronicled a supposed encounter with Mr. Lou Reed at a local Starbucks,
tweeting real-time updates of Lou having trouble getting situated with the Wi-Fi, spilling coffee on his scone, and other things that old people in sunglasses do. (Check
here for the full sequence of events.) It sort of became a "thing," as Internet oddities often do, presumably heightened by
Lulu's widespread hatred. Whether it actually happened or not (
Gothamist sadly says no; some
other sources aren't so sure), it was pretty hilarious.
MTV Hive has since enlisted cartoonist
Dustin Glick to draw a comic strip of the events, which you should most definitely check out
here. We included a few of our favorite frames below, wanting to draw special attention to where Lou mistakes his iPad for his phone. Poor guy. #LouAtStarbucks
And while you're at it, check out Glick's illustrations of songs that sound like they're for kids, but aren't really... because at face value, "The Beautiful People" is pretty confusing.
