#35 - handle possums with heavy gloves (08-97) 



i liked the otto's episodes, even better than the broadway episodes. i had made otto's' menus, so i ate free there, and i sat there for hours, drawing the place or watching football or talking with people, or doing dishes, or taking orders . . . weird but true. i loved that restaurant. the customers were real, the waitress is real--i had a crush on her--and the layout is real. otto's exists only in our memories, fall-colored now . . . i expect it is better there than it ever was in real life.

nothing special about this episode. nips bit the prosecutor, evidently. i don't remember feeling that hostile towards the prosecutor, but perhaps i did and i just don't remember it. she was a bit annoying to listen to: evidently she didn't think very highly of our intelligence.

nor do i think highly of celebrities or tv, as you can see. i watch an awful lot of tv for the contempt i hold it in . . . i've got no other explanation except that i am lazy, i guess.

it would appear that despite my relentless use of the Narrative Voice--which appears again, dammit--that people kept coming up to me and calling all three of these animals weasels, even the cat. for shame!

and lastly! christopher's having a dinner party? and Hope--remember her? the one we've been avoiding writing and drawing about?--she'll be there. and apparently no one else.

what could possibly go wrong?
