In this satirical tale, Mr. Touch-and-go Bullet-head, a pompous newspaper editor, sets out to humiliate a rival publication with a bold editorial. Determined to appear clever, he replaces every letter "o" in his article with the letter "x", believing the audience will grasp the joke and praise his wit. However, the result is a garbled, unreadable mess that turns him into the object of ridicule. Poe uses this absurd premise to mock vanity, editorial pretension, and the perils of sacrificing clarity for cleverness.

"Ibid" is a satirical short story in which Lovecraft mocks academic pomposity and the obsession with trivial historical scholarship. The tale follows the supposed travels of the preserved skull of the obscure Roman philosopher Ibidus, whose works were once highly praised by a fictional Mascholar.

Through irony and exaggeration, Lovecraft playfully critiques scholarly excess and the absurd fate of forgotten intellects.
