Cartoonist: Vaughn Bode, the only cartoonist I know of who seems to have
achieved true enlightenment.  It's a shame he died so young.  His peculiar,
erotic brand of gutter Zen contained frequent nuggets of "cowflop truth" for
those who "scramble and stumble up the gnarled, sperm-spumed path to the
laughing light".

Humorist: hard to choose.  Perhaps:
	Jean Shepard (Wanda Hickey's Night of Golden Memories, etc.),
	Vladimir Nabokov (Lolita or Pale Fire), or
	Stanislav Lem (anything)?

Satirist: Edgar Allen Poe or Mark Twain

	Howard A. Landman
