Mullin resents a lot. He has applied his pet epithet, "no-good sonofabitch," loudly and frequently to such diverse types as Damon Runyon and Franklin Roosevelt, as well as virtually every employer he ever left. His opinion of all politicians is so low that he could not even bring himself to do cartoons of them. Mullin isn't "even sure that Lincoln was a good man," and thinks Andrew Jackson "practiced genocide against the Seminoles at least as bad as Hitler against the Jews."

Suddenly, on the field, Bear Linebacker Dick Butkus very nearly decapitated a Lion runner. Out went charity. "Attaway, Dick!" shrieked Sweet Young Thing. "Attababy. Kill the sonofabitch."

"I'd kill the sonofabitch if I ever found out he was smoking pot," says a Manhattan father. Says his 16-year-old son, who has been using marijuana for a year: "I smoke pot because it makes the world a beautiful place instead of a place filled with narrow-minded bigots like my father...
...love the dog," says Moe Axelrod, the family satisfied businessman with little concern for family or boarder, to Hennie, whom he loves. Uncle Morty, a self-heritage, describes his success by saying, "Every Jew and Wop in the shop eats my bread and behind my back says, 'a sonofabitch.' I started from a poor boy who worked on an ice wagon for two dollars a week. Pop's right here--he'll tell you. I made it honest. In the whole industry, nobody's got a better name...
