Dearest Readers,

	GREETINGS FROM ZOOMORPHIC POTRZEBIE!


THE WONDERFUL BOOK CLUB:
	Here's the *PotrPublisher's Catalog* blurb about my new novel, which I
should be writing next month... " _IT'S A GOOD LIFE IF YOU'RE WONDERFUL_
 -- Serio-comic adventures of depressed musician Johnny Mozart as he
attempts to steal a magic guitar from the Secret Kings of the World,
assisted by members of his nascent band, The Jews, as well as the
mysteriously annoying narrator, Mister Wonderful.  Features violence,
mythology, nudity, and pretension.  Will appeal to fringe elements."

	Ha!  Take that, Gertrude Stein!


JULY BE HOT:
	If I *am* actually working on the novel next month, having rented some
lovely bungalow for the purpose, and I still don't have access to
TOXIHOLIX, the Wonderful Labs computer, or the unarchived historical
"mister wonderful answers all" columns, I *may*, just *may*, don't get
your hopes up, take the One-Way Traffic sign off the "wonderfullabs"
mailing list, and let you kids talk *to each other* all month.  Maybe. 
This will let you Wonderfulistas mix it up (APE LAW!), along with any
Spambots hawking government penis enlargement mortgage loans that have
spidered the mailing list address.


CURRENT WONDER SOUNDTRACK:
	An embarrassing amount of my own giggling.  As well as the off-key
croonings of Mister Malice as he unknowingly projects cover versions
from the new Firewater disc ("The Man on the Burning Trapeze") that he's
listening to on headphones.


POTRZEBIAN CUISINE AND ME:
	While sipping Spiced Tea with Goat Milk and Honey (Goat Milk is a local
film producer, Honey is his "special friend"), I noted that in Potrzebie
I've had none of the traditional tummy foibles associated with foreign
travel.  "That's because every night you wind up having your stomach
pumped," said Goat Milk gnomically.


SCIENCE TIDBIT OF THE WEEK:
	A green rat wearing a racing helmet met me in a bar this morning to let
me know that the physics phiends at the Brookhaven National Laboratory
have confirmed the creation of quark-gluon plasma in their Relativistic
Heavy Ion Collider.  

	Why is this exciting?  Because *now* when I scamper through the central
plaza waving my super-Akira water cannon and wearing pink goggles, I can
shout "Quark-Gluon Monkeypox!  Quark-Gluon Monkeypox A-Wop-Bam-Boom!"

	Truly, these are amazing times in which we live.


yours, as always, until the cows come clean,
MW

Mister Wonderful Recommends: Once again, ladies and gentlemen, please
join Mister Wonderful and a number of his creditors in enjoying Patton
Oswalt!  Mr. Oswalt, comedian and television's own "oh, that guy," has
written a one-shot issue DC Comic: "JLA: Welcome to the Working Week"
and *I* think it's goddamn funny.  Who knew Patton had such so much
super-hero continuity in his noggin?  Anyway, all the biggies are there,
Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman... and a very special appearance by Jim Croce.
