Dear Editor,
My very favorite comic of all time in the Chronicle was Life in Hell (by Matt Groening), both for its name and the fact that it always made me laugh out loud, think, or both; miss it lots. I miss Marlys; she was very quirky-funny, and I related. (I had to refer to an old hoarded Chronicle dated Dec. 31, 1999, for that title. It was What Name then. In that issue I saw another intelligent strip I liked: Maxine; also an awesome Akbar and Jeff Life in Hell.)
The best comic now is This Modern World by Tom Tomorrow, which was always right-on hilarious throughout the intolerably toxic Bush years. First place in the Sept. 11, 2009, issue goes to Troubletown. I, too, would like to see President Obama grow a f#@king pair of cajones! Whatever idiot gossip rag it is that ran several headlines about Obama being gay: I hope that’s wrong. I hope when America finally elects a gay president – maybe a war hero after its military has finally complied with the U.S. Constitution, unlikely under the testosterone-deprived Obama – he or she will have a set of brass balls and the wherewithal to whip some corporate ass.
My favorite Austin Chronicle cover of 2008 was the double Halloween masks of John McCain and Sarah Palin. And I enjoyed the protest letter a neo-con wrote about it ever so much!
