Desperate Dan

Andrew: Sad news about Desperate Dan, one of the favorites of my childhood.

I wonder if he’s still allowed to shave with a lawnmower? And when he rund

right through a brick wall, does he still leave a Dan-shaped hole in the

wall, complete with hat? I can’t help thinking we could use a few more

Desperate Dans in western society. I guess that type doesn’t make very good

lawyers, accountants, futures traders, or community relations liaison

officers.
