WRITING SAMPLES

A few excerpts, both short and long, from assorted writing projects I've undertaken.

The Peccadilloes and Ponderables of Peanuts - An epic review of the first five volumes of Fantagraphics' Complete Peanuts series, from The High Hat.

The Contents of Princess Leia's Outbox - Comedy piece celebrating Star Wars, from Cap'n Wacky's Boatload of Fun.

Robert Altman's Popeye - Holding the much-maligned 1980 Feiffer/Altman effort to the mirror of the source material, from The High Hat.

Things That Were Written On The Page From The Notebook of the Guy Who Came Up With The Aphorism, "I Wept That I Had No Shoes Until I Met A Man Who Had No Feet" - A million jokes from the same premise, hooray for extrapolation.s
