How odd that two days before THE FOOTBALL GAME THAT CURES ALL DISEASES our favorite animation Web site (and this we mean unironically) posts some ads from the mid-thirties Collier's, like this one with art by William Steig -- each far more effective in the sales pitch than a whole battery of SUPER BORE ADS, whatever GanNETt says.

Odd too that our favorite book reviewer (and this we also mean unironically) writes about the notorious doc named Brinkley with a million-watt station in Mexico, who certainly pioneered in curing people -- of their money, and their health. Rather like professional football.

(He also writes a touching article about the dachshund he had to put down, necessary reading for anyone with a dog, or cat, or a goldfish, for that matter.)

Is it us or does the fellow vaguely resemble Cole Porter?
