From The Road: Plate 22

In one of The Road's most iconic scenes, the man and the boy discover some ash-covered apples by the side of the road.  Needless to say, in a post-apocalyptic wasteland where the sun has not shone in over a decade, where no sign of life has yet appeared other than marauding cannibals, the sudden appearance of fresh, edible fruit does a lot to build the credibility of the setting.

Plate 22 - The man and the boy find an apple.  After all, why wouldn't they?

Its an apple, said the man
Yes, the boy said
We are sure living in a well thought out story that consistently makes sense, said the man
The boy didn't answer.

From Moby Dick: Plate 37

Moby Dick is full of iconic images: from Ahab nailing a gold doubloon to the mast of the Pequod, to the climactic battle with the white whale.  We know you will be thrilled by the inimitable Henry "Soupcan" Sanchez's loving renditions of all of your favorite scenes.  But we have received dozens of letters from Melville fans with one burning question on their minds - what about that part where a guy wears a chopped-off whale penis around like a cloak?

Rest easy, literature fans.  We would never remove one of the most important dick jokes in American literature.

Plate 37 - The cassock of the Archbishoprick, is what Melville actually called this situation in his serious literary masterpiece
