INTERN DIARY: October 13th, 2012

by
THE STORY SO FAR:  Luca, my intern, is a skateboarder from Astoria, Queens.  He’s 17 years old and goes to Essex Street Academy in the LES. A little over a month ago, he busted his leg and has been sending me text updates to his diary for the shlog.  One side, William Safire.

Alavell.  Luca had to give him a dollar to take his picture.

Hurricane Post: Umbrella Man

by
Ok, so he’s more of a beach umbrella.  Still, anthropomorphic Umbrellas are
hard to come by.  They know all about how to prepare for hurricanes.
That’s what they learn in middle school.  It’s like our version of
Social Studies.

The Greek Comic Seal of Approval

Rainy Day Fun.  Some Kid already did the Connect-the-Dots duck-bird.

All I’m saying here is that this guys got some cool-ass posters.
And he’s wearing gloves to bed.

Funkiest Maze in all of Greece.

Were-Squirrel

by
There’s a Were-Squirrel that lives in this hole.  That’s right, a were-wolf squirrel that comes out
on Halloween (and Thanksgiving) to strike fear into the hearts of sparrows, stoop-pumpkins and ants.
He’s really just a disgustingly filthy old squirrel that won’t die.  He yells at anyone that
comes near his hole and is always trying to get the kids to turn down that “rock and roll racket”.
 The guy who sealed up the hole thought the squirrel would starve to
death, but he was a miser of a squirrel in his hey-day.  He’s like Scrooge McDuck with nuts
instead of coins.  No one’s seen him for awhile but you can hear him swearing at his
television set while he watches Game Show Network.
