Arts, Briefly

Welcome to our occasional feature with the stolen title. First, MGMIEET is causing a big stir in the mainstream media. It was only a matter of time! We don't entirely agree with the reporter's assessment of the funny-ha-ha/funny-peculiar dichotomy: the important thing is to look at these clips the way you would look at a plant or a rock. Or a rainbow! Finally, I've been asked to participate in another anthology, this one collecting "comic writing from Alabama." I'm going to be in there with Truman Capote, Eugene Walter, and Barry Hannah. Couldn't ask for better company. More details as they come in.
