Comic effect. Remember the Bug in "Sleeper"?

Unfortunately, his well-written _Game Over_ is still relevant. Team owners are still playing "build me a stadium or you lose the team" maneuvers.

The medieval writers weren't shy about revisiting mythic material. Revisiting = The Alliterative Mort Dartur, which revisited the Arthur legend to comment upon the Crusades, and make Arthur a bloody tyrant. Or Chaucer's Knight's Tale, which turns a love debat into a query about cosmic justice. Modern — and more often,

I love it. I love the endurance race across the desert and the feminist aspects. The feminism isn't yet fully carried out — the girls go aside to discuss clothes 
— but I loved the idea of a woman warrior.

There is only one Cookie! The rest are stale.

"Bloom County" for the win!

To what extent was Welch's treatment on "The Muppet Show" reaction to what happened on "Saturday Night Live"?
