It seems like only yesterday when the idea for a socially relevant, politically intolerant and grammatically challenged editorial comic strip first occurred to Bill Allen. In fact, it was 1976, and Mr. Allen was, at the time, running naked through the Christmas Midnight Mass service at one of our finer, albeit smaller, institutions of higher learning somewhere in New England.

Through the years, as the career took hold, flourished, and abruptly ended with an inadequate severance package, Bill never lost sight of his vision. Get it? Sight....vision.

He's so good.

So here's Hod Kor for you. Pulling no punches, subtle when unintended, obtuse when clarity is essential. We hope you enjoy this very different approach to humor.

Actually, we hope you are a newspaper magnate with a lump in your wallet, and a soft spot in your head. Oh yeah. Some of 'em have a strip w/in a strip. The Rants. Like one person scratching their nails on a blackboard wasn't enuff.
