dazed and confused
I just want to say how much I enjoyed your first issue, but who the hell is Eli Brillstein? That thing was funny as shit, with the "tits" line, but I had no idea who that guy was talking about? Am I an idiot? Was it just me?

All the same, keep up the good work.

How dare you publish the letter sent to you by [name witheld because of restraining order], rejecting your request for a submission (see the last
Talk, "Uncle"). He is a well-known respected author for his groundbreaking work in the fields of punctuation, foot-noting, and self-congratulatory wit. I implore you to stop at once!

All the same, keep up the good work.

[editor’s note: You may be right. We may be crazy. But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for.]



crazy like a fox
You folks sure do have a weird sense of humor. I liked the cartoons, no matter how badly drawn. And the thing about the apples (in stereo) was funny. But why don't you compromise your highly individual sense of humor to try to reach a broader audience? You know, mass-market humor?

All the same, keep up the good work.

[editor’s note: Thanks for the great idea. We'll make it more, um, mainstream, so we can rake in the advertising dollars!]

stinky poofs
Your use of the originally funny song title from the super-sweet South Park movie was unfunny, unmotivated, and uncool, (see the last Talk, "Uncle"). In a word, it stunk. It stunk up the whole room, so that I had to leave the front door open and then I got robbed. You'll be hearing from my lawyer.

"see, son, they're only coming in on top," the dentist said. "you've only got two."

"i knew it," he muttered, "i'm a half-wit!"
