...said on the topic of the now notorious Mister Chu. The comic strip's readership has spiked from five people (the artists, their mothers and the AAA censor) to approximately 12 people, according to a recent Crimson poll. And, apparently a compromise has been negotiated wherein Mister Chu will morph into a WASP. Thank God for WASPs. In this age of political correctness, where would the art of ethnic lampooning be without them...
...GRIP For Luddites who still write with pens, A.T. Cross has developed a high-tech item to make the job more pleasant. Twist a dial on its Morph pen ($50), and the device changes from its initial cylindrical shape into a flexible triangular prism, giving you a better grip and providing soft, flat surfaces for your thumb, index and middle fingers.

He and his partners are looking to buy up other major theaters in Europe and the U.S. In a few years they hope to take their company public and really cash...
...doesn't remain secret. Before heading for the island, Richard had left a map with some other Americans. Now they are trying to enter, and it is his duty to keep them away and get the map. It is also time for a semi-idyllic Beach Party to morph into Apocalypse Now. Richard descends, or rather soars, into savagery. This handsomely made film--as attentive to Nature's predatory beauty as any film since Terrence Malick's The Thin Red Line--goes a bit nuts, along with him. It sheds plausibility like a snakeskin, even as it accrues a needless...
