yeah I think people confused him as a comic when he was more of someone telling us the truth in a funny way! or that reaction when someone says something true and u haveto decide if you are going to cry of laff so u laff. that's what he was doing imo. xD rip George carlin!
Very true. I say comic because he was paid as a comic. He was far more a critical thinker than a comic. I have often borrowed his examples and scenarios to explain this world in my head and to others.
