There are times when the stars are aligned, and something tickles your funny bone so righteously you remember for the rest of your life. Mad Magazine is still going strong, but the issues that were published when you were ten to thirteen years old will always be the best ones, the classics.
Many years ago my library included a number of books by Mad's Maddest Artist, Don Martin. These have not survived; I never dreamed of the wonders of ebay. But ebay needs buyers and sellers, and so a few months ago I look, and find, and buy a copy (Kenneth McCulloh's copy) of Don Martin Bounces Back. Among these gems, my all time favorite: National Gorilla-Suit Day.
My words cannot do it justice. Go google it if you like. When you do, you will discover others sharing my delight. In fact, January 31st has been designated National Gorilla-Suit Day. I bring this to your attention a week+ early so you can prepare. Be sure to celebrate with appropriate restraint.
Happy National Gorilla-Suit Day to you all !!!
