“And now our hyper-innovative cartoonist is about to break new ground in partnership with our boundary-busting video-editor-cum-impresario, Jayson Taylor.”

That sentence is a disgrace. Can you imagine someone who has not been an English speaker for life trying to make sense of that sentence?

It would look like this:

And now XXXXXXX cartoonist is about XXXXXXX with our XXXXXXX Jason Taylor.

I’ve been speaking English all my life, and I’m trying to figure out whether Jayson Taylor books shows at Massey Hall in his spare time. I also note, with sadness, that my many innovations are of little interest now because they weren’t hyper.

That’s funny. It sounds innovative but all they propose to do is show us how a cartoonist draws a cartoon, which does not seem all that mysterious to me.

Also had to google Dic Doyle because I had no idea who he was. Turns out David Warren is a big fan and this post is number one for all things Doyle.

Then obvious next step in boundary-busting hyper-innovation would be a time-compressed video of Jane Taber composing the weekly gossip column-cum-hot/not list.

“boundary-busting video-editor-cum-impresario”

Sounds like a porno blurb.
