Hate Mail

Let me guess, you never actually read any of Marcel Gottlieb's work because it's in French and you don't read French.  I have. It mostly ranges from the elevation of the trivial and not very amusing as a replacement for the actually funny




to the sledge-hammer heavy and not funny, not brave, easy as anything poking at the easily poked at in fashionable, Republican France.   It's about as funny as Penn Jillett and about as intellectually significant as Bill Maher.




I've never seen it translated into English, perhaps because it really isn't very funny.  I don't think it's funnier than Nancy and not as funny as Mutt and Jeff.
