richard's poor alma-nac. suggested summer reading by richard thompson woman: i'm enjoying the "giant jumbo pop-up book of leisure-time activities" very much, thank you. old man: i'll just be trying to decipher the instructions on this bottle of medicine, so don't you mind me. what in hell does "flummoxofin" treat, anyway? boy 1: inasmuch as there is no new "harry potter" this year, i'm going to concentrate my reading on cereal boxes exclusively. i find that there is much to learn from the feverish imaginings of copywriters with too much space to fill and hey there's no toy in this one! boy 2: i only read the comics page, still the last venue for qual-ity, work by dead white males. silas marmer man: i'll be working on my own novel, a sensitive coming-of age story to which i've added a dollop of sex, a dash of intrigue & a pinch of extreme gut-wringing in-your-face slapstick farce! the farrelly brothers are reportedly, very interested! vwit vwit vwit

Hats off to the one of the best dead white male cartoonists working today. These are still funny the fourth time I’ve read ’em.

The highlight of my summer reading was, “War and Peace: The Coloring Book.” I stayed inside the lines. Mostly.
