Last week 100 tenants braved a thunderstorm and tornado warning to do some storming at the town hall. Said Mrs. Karyn Pick, who has a five-year-old son: "It's the most horrendous and inhumane thing a man could do." The lawmakers seem to agree. The village board is expected to pass an ordinance this week prohibiting Sparks' head...
...Sudden Tornado. Last week the festering resentment finally broke into a shrill serenade of street violence that escalated to the worst riots Egypt has witnessed since King Farouk was dethroned 25 years ago.

Aspects of reality which would never be rationally juxtaposed are struck together--sparks fly. The typewriter eraser, for example, becomes a tornado in one series of drawings. The round rubber spins violently around the center screw (the eye of the tornado) and the trailing brush sweeps all before it, leaving a dust cloud in its wake. The seemingly innocuous object reveals itself as a force of destruction...
