Why Isn’t There a Crazy Dexterity?
The Observer runs a cartoon “based on a true story” about a man whose wife wants him to spend more time in A2 because “it will make [him] a better person.” “And the Chop House cigar lounge doesn’t count!” he laments. Acceptable character-forming destinations include museums or Crazy Wisdom.
You should hit up your readership for a scan of the comic.

posted by Anna on October 14th, 2004 at 4:01 pmI thought that cartoon unpleasantly reminiscent of “Get Your War On,” chiefly because of the use of clip art or whatever the hell that stuff is. I myself can’t spend more than three minutes in Crazy Wisdom (why I go in there at all, I really can’t say) without starting to giggle insanely. I did enjoy that issue of the Observer, though, mainly for the article (a funny one!) concerning the old 3M board game “Mr. President,” which my family used to own. What I want to see is a greater number of articles concerning that Doug Cowherd guy, who I can see starring in a TV primetime soap opera a la “Dallas” or “The OC” as the sinister haute bourgeois powerbroker desperate to seal the greenbelt and create his own SE Michigan version of the Vortex from “Zardoz.”
