I still bring a can of cranberry sauce to our Thanksgiving dinner in her memory. Ocean Spray no longer embosses the numbers on the can, so I announce the vintage from the print. Tradition.

Notwithstanding our reputation for spectacular violence, Irish men are Momma’s Boys.
Irish mothers are fierce. 🤷‍♂️

My sisters (accurately) described her sage dressing as Green Glue, and prepared a superior alternative.
But her sons remained faithful to the Green Glue.

The quote is my praise for her cranberry sauce. Ever after, she would present the prime cut on a bed of lettuce to me for approval: “12-13. An excellent vintage.”

My sainted mother had many talents, but cooking was not one of them. Her big Irish family of lawyers would argue about anything, including the meals she prepared. Her five daughters were critical of her cuisine, often prepared alternatives, but her three sons remained faithful to Mom.

The Brits victimized Irish first, and last. But that gets no traction in the Anglosphere, for obvious reasons.

Hitler victimized Europeans. Victimizing colonials is routine for Europeans.

I generally preferred political content, even when pornographic. 🤷‍♂️

Honestly, I’m not a big fan of his; his variety of creepy didn’t appeal to me. 🤷‍♂️
But he had the best political content in Felch Cumix, a one-pager showing a fat cat rich guy having sodomized the Statue of Liberty, leaving John Q. Public to do the felching.

The result was that a high school boy could buy outrageously pornographic comix at record stores and head shops.

Censorship had reached a point where distributors would not carry any book without the industry’s self-censorship seal of approval. We had to protect the children!

No, I’m not posting the cover. But in the course of looking it up I discovered my old copy of the comic is now valuable.
My memory of the book is that a relative unknown managed to win the competition with a story involving a guy into auto-felching.

Censorship created a dynamic whereby underground comic artists would compete to be outrageously transgressive. Felch Cumix was the epitome of the trope. Some of the greatest underground artists (Williams, Crumb, Rodriguez, Wilson) trying to outdo each other.

A guy from the South Side of Chicago could conceivably sing that song. I learned it as a little boy. 🤷‍♂️

Thanks. I had intended to deal with it. Now I won’t.

Immigrants are a blessing. They deserve appreciation, not persecution.
