The Committee for the Correction of Everything
A satirical serial set in an imaginary committee that debates trivialities with lethal seriousness, skewering bureaucratic jargon, academic pomp, and political circumlocution. Beginning with a petition to correct the tilt of a pavement, the committee deliberates its way, motion by absurd motion, toward the redesign of the universe itself.
