GEORGEography is another humorous collection of stories, poems, and line drawings--more than 50 illustrated pieces in all. The intricate and innovative wordplay in most of the writings is influenced by the works of James Joyce, Lewis Carroll, Edward Lear, and John Lennon. PDF format.
Among the offerings are parodies of Dr. Phil ("Dr. Feel"), Curb Your Enthusiasm ("One Meat Loaf Too Many"), The Hardy Boys ("The Foolhardy Boys"), and a yesteryear classic Dick Cavett Show ("Televisage Classics Presents...The Dig Caveat Show"), an obituary of a fictitious veteran comedian ("In Memoreyamsterdam--Jackie Grundy"). a wacky Personals newspaper column ("Pursonals"), the diary of a bipolar man ("The Germanic-Depressive"), and a collection of letters from the Post Office's dead letter office ("The Dud Letter Orifice"). Other stories are about an Old West comedian ("Billy the Kidder"), a smoking club where certain members wish to have a non-smoking section ("When Smoke Gets in your Ayes"), a murder at a cheese fest ("The Grilled Cheese"), an obsessive entrepreneur who opens an eatery that sells only crappie fish sandwiches ("Crappie Diem"), and a misogynist who attempts to sexually harass the wrong massage therapist ("The Massagynist"). Eighteen of these pieces were first published in various journals.
