Well, so far this Bise-heart-transplant thing has been great for US . . . Let’s all hope that Michael lapses into a comfortable mediocrity later in life, spiced with incoherent Harvey-Pekar-style TV appearances rehashing his traumatic experiences and the great comic he wrote about them.

Love the blunt honesty. Truth is funny. Why are medical professionals so fat? I have often wondered. Hope to meet you at the TCU opening.

“Art Review: Death and Shame … ”
