Those of you who - together with me - consider yourselves a "Far Side Freak" will be especially ecstatic to read this, the Far Side being, of course, the superb comic strip by Gary Larson of a few years back.
While browsing this afternoon at Barnes & Noble my eyes fell upon a truly beautiful sight: a page-a-day Far Side calendar for 2007. My fellow freaks will be aware that there has not been such a calendar in five years now, and the pain only grows with each passing year.
It does not sound as though this will be an annually publication, much to the degradation of mankind. The calendar for 2007 is a reprint of the 2001 calendar and the proceeds will go to benefit a wildlife conservation fund, or something like that; I cannot recall. That, however, is not the important part. What is important is that we can at long last begin our day again with a deep and hearty laught.
It may well be that the worst decision made by the senior president Bush was allowing Gary Larson to retire from his comic writing days. Mr. Bush should have used an executive order to force Larson to continue writing his comic until the day he died. I've said this before and I will stand by it.
