    I haven’t yet seen Coco (mainly because the drive-in I wanted to see it at has a double feature with Star Wars… um, no thank you, I don’t want to spend four hours in the car without going anywhere) but now I really want to… save it for a day when I feel the need of catharsis. I’ve lot the habit of going to movies in the last several years, and I’m so behind! But I am glad this one sounds worth the wait.

    The article about four picture books not to purchase had me howling, especially Barack’s Kushner line.

    I tip my hat to you, witty, you. Thanks for the laugh.

    (This is the guy who wrote the screed about Her Right Foot on Heavy Medal, btw)

    I loved your Right Foot screed even though I disagree. Quality screed right there.
