The Irritating Gentleman, Berthold Woltze. Germany (1829 – 1896)

THIS LOOKS FAMILIAR. I CAN ALMOST HEAR HIS VOICE
“SO YOU LIKE TO READ HUH I LIKE TO READ TOO LIKE UH HARRY POTTER AND JAMES PATTERSON. YOU KNOW THEM??? MAN YOUR HAIR IS REALLY PRETTY”

This legit happens to me on public transit all the time. It’s good to know the only thing that’s changed since the 19th century is that irritating/creepy(??) dudes are less prone to resembling a James Joyce with mutton chops. 

Please, anything but James Joyce.

GPOY OF THE CENTURY.  FUUUUUUUCK.
