My finger was tightening on the trigger when an email arrived in
my inbox.
It was from someone I've known for over 30 years. He's a big shot
now with a
title and everything (over here we call him "Latok"). And he's probably
bought himself a piano so he can play honkytonk blues on it. He
happens to be
the greatest cartoonist Malaysia has ever produced.
Well, his timely message shook me out of a very grim and grouchy
frame of
mind. All it did was remind me what my true mission on this planet
was. You
see, aeons ago, I'd sworn to take the tragic "nightmare of history"
(as James
Joyce described it) and turn it into high cosmic comedy (with a
bit of sex
and romance thrown in).
But recent events have been so hideously stupid I was beginning to
lose the
plot and get REALLY angry... my back was breaking from carrying
the whole
world on it. I was beginning to believe that Evil had triumphed
and that
humanity would never free itself from the nefarious clutches of
Dr Doom...
Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls... just when I thought the World
Bank
had clinched the Big Deal and bought over the Solar System (right
after I'd
given it to my daughter as a birthday present)... and that nothing
could stop
the Time Savings Bank from acquiring the rights to Eternity.
Just when I was beginning to believe the Big Bank had successfully
patented
the Big Bang and that there would never be an end to rent and royalty
payments...

....Then I saw this priceless photo my friend the Medicine Man had sent me....
and I knew that all was well in Hell, as it is in Heaven and on Earth,
and
forever and ever shall be. Herman.
