A page from the permanently unfinished children's book, "Walrus & Radish." Walrus and Radish are best friends. They fight crime! They climb mountains! Nobody can tell if Radish really does anything, or if Walrus is cheerfully delusional!

My agent informed me that this one might need to wait until I got so famous editors would take bizarre risks on my work. Apparently the pathos of a demented walrus is not conventional children's book material. I could not disagree.

'I' would read it. But then I often like quirky ideas and images. Along with a certain amount of irreverence.

I had a book growing up called "The Diverting Tale of the Radish and the Shoe." The Radish and the Shoe in question were the best of friends, and they lived in a book together with all the letters in the book.

It's a great book. I recommend it.

And I would probably buy a book about a delusional walrus for my children. But I also grew up with Edward Gorey's "Gashlycrumb Tinies," so I have an...interesting idea of what children should be reading. =]

I read a children's book yesterday, Blue and Peach. You should read it, and try that publisher.

It could not POSSIBLY be more disturbed and bizarre than an actual animated cartoon I saw on the Nickelodeon one Saturday years ago. My room mate at the time liked Nickelodeon and MTV; we turned on Nickelodeon before going out to breakfast and stood rooted to the floor in stunned amazement.

Itchy the Ringworm and Bloaty the Tapeworm were doing something at home on their dog. I believe Itchy's boss, a flea, had shown up and he offered his boss a nice scab to sit on. Some other stuff happened, and then disaster for the bugs struck in the form of the dog getting flea shampooed.

I'm not sure how long the episode was, I have a feeling it wasn't really, but we were just ...so... stunned that this was on a real kid's tv show, on Saturday morning, prime cartoon time. What The Blinding HELL possessed whoever made that cartoon? It made Ren and Stimpy, who are actually made for teens and adults, tame in comparison.

So if that could happen, why NOT Walrus and Radish? There is, after all, Cow and Chicken.
