"The sixties offered the easy aphoristic wisdom of Charles Schulz, the self-satisfied seventies the pricjly satire of Garry Trudeau. The Reagan eighties have spawned the demonic, subtle and slightly despairing humor of a former music-store clerk." -Rolling Stone "Many of Larson's frowsy, no-nonsense women - astringent in their dowdy dresses, their upswept hairdos clamped glumly in place like helmets; eyeless behind opaque oval glasses that waggishly exaggerate their long and drawn visages - are ringers for the relatives and neighbors of my childhood."His work - like superior humor and music the world over - is capable of blowing the lid oof of some hidden, weeded-over, back-alley regions of ourselves." -Al Young, Things Ain't What They Used to Be
