I think it’s important to deal with the anxiety with art like this because there’s nothing to be done about the yellow lollipops. The doctor knows best. Or is that father? What if a priest went to medical school? Is he Father Doctor or Dr. Father now? Does he still have yellow lollipops in the waiting room? Would more of us go to church if the wafers were purple and not yellow ish? But the path diverging in the woods promises no lollipops so we stay at the doctor’s office. Don’t we? Anyway I loved loved this piece.
holy bovine. how does your writing keep getting better? it is abi normal, i tells ya! thank you, shalom. you are a constant source of encouragement, even though i know for a fact that constants aren’t and variables won’t.
Undoubtedly, as he is too twee for thee. (Taurantino and Herzog would still be fighting to the death mid-hybridization.) Looking forward to the next fetal position.;-)
Thank you for explaining why you don't write New Yorker cartoons by writing a New Yorker cartoon. I have a request; could you write why you don't write speeches for politicians?
This is the best paid subscription I have. Totally worth cutting down on purple lollipops to afford it.
This is hilarious and smart. Thanks!
Utterly brilliant, and I'm glad you're not my doctor.

That was the best fucking newsletter I've received all week. Thank you.
Love this. Even the lollipop people find a way to fuck us.

You always hit the nail on the head. You speak for us, my friend.
“We also have stickers. Some are of cute kittens and some are of trains. We are out of the cute kittens.”
This sentence makes me wonder: If Auslander were hybridized with Wes Anderson, what unique form of cinema would be created in the world?
Dunno, but pretty sure Wes dies at the end.

Much better than most of their captions...
Hilarious!

Convicted or awaiting sentencing?
ALL the levels of funny!
That you and Orli exist helps me get through every day.
What? No orange lollipops?
THERE ARE ORANGE LOLLIPOPS?????
Fake news.
Love this entire thing. Perfect.
Appreciate the lollipop intel, and can confirm the truth of it.
