My first exposure to Jean, a true visionary, was Mad Magazine. It can
still be found on the web:

Later, I discovered his hilarious short stories in Playboy --yes! I
really did read the articles (sometimes . Playboy ran many of them
over the years. Later, I got his books from my library. Wish he'd
been syndicated, as I never heard his radio show. I also was unaware
he was an avid ham.

Was the "....Dago Bomb That Struck Back" about the runaway fireworks
on the 4th of July?


Yes
