Adrienne, I thoroughly agree, John Callahan is really funny, and in
just that kind of way that you know that he knows what's it's like
to be part of a so-called "out-group". I believe the reason his
cartoons are so funny is that in a very subtle way they often make
fun of the people who have prejudices against us.

When I spent 9 grueling weeks in the hospital with pneumonia summer
before last, some good friends brought me his autobiography
(written in the same tone as he draws his cartoons), and I swear to
you, that book helped me laugh my way right out of that hospital!
Norman Cousins knows whereof he speaks!
