Need some clarification.
Can anyone provide some insight or an explanation or anything for this passage? More specifically the "It was hard to believe that this girl was eight years old" part.

I drew this back in 07, hope you guys dig it
It’s a 50th anniversary copy from vintage.
After reading the book it really doesn’t make sense to me
How can your philosophy be like “fuck authority” no one tells me what to do i’m a rebel
But then you also are a US patriot and follow/support the government being in Vietnam
To the point that you try to stop protestors themselves from rebelling
Even though you are a proclaimed rebel?
Huh??
My article The Beats of Kansas features friends of author William S. Burroughs, who lived in Lawrence, Kansas, for the last part of his life. My encounters with Allen Ginsberg, Wayne Propst, James Grauerholz and Chris Stein of Blondie. This article first appeared in The Oakland Express.

So I’m rewatching IT the tv show and am thinking Bill Skarsgård could play him especially because of the voice. Don’t get me wrong I grew up with Fear and Loathing and love Johnny Depp any thoughts on recasting.
As title says, I plan on reading him and would like a good order.
I have a disabled neighbor with schizophrenia who is a massive HST fan, nicotine dependent, and fixates on/needs certain things for their routine. One of those things is Targard reusable filters. They started using them in the early 2000s. They had a few backups, but are now down to just one that has been heavily used.
When I found out they had discontinued the line, I ordered two 3-packs of them from an eBay listing for them, thinking a half dozen would be enough for a couple more years. The package kept having tracking issues, and it was finally confirmed to be lost. By the time I was notified of this, the listing was entirely sold out, and so was every vendor I could find. I found another listing for them on a tobacco/vape site and wasted 60 bucks on a scam.
Basically, I'm in desperate need of at least one or two permanent Targard filters to keep my promise to them. Please help me prevent a big spiral when their last one breaks or finally gets to that "unusable" place in their mind.
I feel awful about having missed the eBay listing and now having left them without any backups. I'm hoping to ask around the sub and see if anyone has a couple I could buy, or even trade something like a nice vintage lighter for.
It cannot be a modern/alternative permanent filter. It HAS to be a Targard. I have already brought them some of the alternatives from Amazon/eBay, and even the very high-quality ones are a no-go. It has to be the HST filter because they have used one for so long.
If anybody can help a Gonzo phreek, I can pay out the nose for one. I just gotta do something for the guy.
Mahalo.
