Or Pogo. Walt Kelly had wonderful words: Rowrf, ralph, dangblaggit, razzlefrats, phooey! (not sure of the spelling, guys).
And thosp, as soon as I read your post about Paul Krassner on the Kennedy asassination, a good piece of it popped right up. That was the single most warped piece of writing I ever saw in print, Hunter Thompson and William Burroughs included.
I met the man, at the first birthday party of the underground newspaper I worked on in college, and there wasn't much to the guy other than all those words that went into the Realist, sort of like the tube after the toothpaste is gone.
Can also see in my mind's eye that logo, cross between Kilroy and a schmoo.
Blessings,
Barbara
