Spanish colonists, American Indians and African-descended slaves used effigy and icon as a part of their religious rituals. In San Antonio, Girard displays pre-Inca dolls found inside burial shrouds, Christian saints and angels, Haitian voodoo fertility symbols. Among the tableaux that most colorfully mix the half-Christian, half-pagan customs are those depicting All Souls' Day (Nov. 2), a festival celebrated in Latin America as a cheerful holiday for the dead...

A baker, having carelessly forgotten his Vicks Cough Silencers, tosses pizza dough into the air, coughs and catches it splat in the face. Splat again, as the Pond's girl gets schlopped in the eye with cold cream. And whack! umph! and aaagh! as a mousy little guy, sploshed with Hai Karate after-shave lotion, brutally chops down...
