4.0 out of 5 stars "IF YOU DRINK DON'T DRILL", December 4, 2000

This review is from: Greetings from Hell (Paperback)

Long before Bart and Lisa Simpson came upon the scene there were Akbar and Jeff and the rest of Matt Groening's gang from "Hell."

I originally bought this little book of postcards with the intention of sharing a few "laughs by mail" with my friends. Lo, these many years later I haven't shared even one. They're too funny. I can't give them up. To see them, my friends have to come to my house and take a pledge that they won't steal one while I'm not looking. Then, after I have chained one of their feet securely to the radiator, I allow them to actually touch this most precious of possessions. After all, you've got to protect your valuables.

Interested in the pros and cons of having a baby? There they are, in all their glory on the fourth card, graphically illustrated.

How about a completely illustrated dissertation on smugness, illustrated in Groening's unique style. See number five.

On one card there are nine illustrated children's science experiments including: "Will prayer bring a dead squirrel back to life?" "What happens when you stick a fork into an electric outlet?" and "What's under that dress?" There are others, yes there are!

One more: "If you drink, don't drill" I'll leave the illustration on that one up to your imagination.

See why I can't bear to give up even one little black and white postcard.
