    Now, with a purple-tongued demon named Aahz as a companion, he's on a quest to get even.

    With stories and photos that are as remarkably plausible today as they were in 1978, the "Republican-Democrat" is littered with grade-A-quality humor. Including National News, Local News, and More Local News, a Sports Section, Entertainment, Television Listings, Travel, Real Estate, Gardening, Your Pet, Women's Pages, Classified Ads, a Swillmart Discount Store Advertising Supplement, a Parade Magazine Parody, a Sunday Week Local Magazine, and Eight Pages of Comics, it will take you back in time even if you were never there to begin with. Any fan of "The Onion" will discover its recipe for success-take "National Lampoon's Sunday Newspaper," rejigger the news to reflect today's absurdity, and maintain the "National Lampoon's" pitch-perfect mimicry of editorial and design. Ask any comedy writer at work today, and she or he will tell you that "National Lampoon's 1964 High School Yearbook "and "National Lampoon's Sunday Newspaper" are the sine qua non of written humor.

    High-spirited, impulsive and often exasperated by her elders, this young female is determined to keep her end up.

    McBroom gets ready to tell his many preposterous stories in the World Champion Liar's contest only to be disqualified for telling the truth.

    This book contains the scripts of six classic episodes, beginning with "Tomkinson's Schooldays," in which Palin plays a boy trapped in a bizarre boarding school where the pupils beat the headmaster and the school bully wields all the real power. When Tomkinson is caught trying to escape his punishment, he is to be entered in a grueling long-distance hopping race. Will his leg hold out? "Escape from Stalag Luft 112B" finds Palin in a German prisoner-of-war camp during the First World War. Sent there because of his repeated attempts to break out of every other camp, he finds his fellow prisoners curiously reluctant to make a bid for freedom. Undaunted, and determined to become the first man to escape from Stalag Luft 112B, he begins to build a glider from empty toilet-paper tubes.

    The name of the group was the Compass Players, and their ranks included Mike Nichols, Elaine May, Shelley Berman, and Barbara Harris. A few years later, another comedy theatre based on the same principle of spontaneity was opened -- the legendary Second City. This company, too, has produced dozens of major talents who have gone on to apply their experience of being funny on the spot to theatre, television and film. "SOMETHING WONDERFUL RIGHT AWAY" captures all the craziness on-stage and off through the interviews with prominent alumni, among them: Alan Alda, Paul Mazursky, Valarie Harper, Stiller and Meara, Alan Arkin, Robert Klein, David Steinberg, Gilda Radner, and Joan Rivers. In between the routines and anecdotes are observations on the relationship of the popular stage to the community it serves and reflects and, most important, on the art of theatrical improvisation, which this book brings to rich, vivid life.

    A competitor's attempt to discredit Jean-Pierre and Isabelle's restaurant backfires and the Rue Petite receives even more accolades.
