...think of himself as a film director, casting, arranging and often creating his own characters. The Dance, for example, was inspired by a Derain painting, which was itself inspired by a photograph of off-duty soldiers in a dance hall. Somehow, after the chicken liver and the matzoh-ball soup at a family bar mitzvah, the idea for the painting jelled in Kanovitz's mind. Any resemblance to Derain-or for that matter, that particular bar mitzvah-is almost coincidental. The head of one lady is mounted on the shoulders of another.

Chem 20 is like going to the dentist. It is something that you do for your own good, it's prerequisite for med school, but every single minute of it is unpleasant if not painful. It lasts for seven solid weeks from soup to nuts. This is better, they say, than stretching it out over a whole year.

There is more P. G. Wodehouse in The Do-Gooders than the deadly amoral wit of Bruce Jay Friedman or Joseph Heller. The true black humorists spring from Franz Kafka, Céline, James Joyce and Nathanael West. Imitations like this owe their origins to the pop-art Campbell soup cans, underground "art" movies, and the overpowering amplification systems that give rock music its driving force...
...character, with true grit and sand, an original piece of Americana-sort of a Portrait of Whistler's Mother as a Young Girl in Indian Territory. And he has most vividly produced a true mock western: one in which blood flows with the same impact as real tomato soup suddenly gushing out of an Andy Warhol...
