Doonesbury wimps out

[l...@adan.kingston.net]

This week's color Doonesbury comic talks about the bankruptcy
of the "J. Pretensions" catalogue company. I thought Garry
Trudeau would have used the real name. The Costanza wallet for him.

J. Pretensions is funnier.. it is, after all, a cartoon. If you want
to read about the bankrupcy of the J. Peterman Co., go to the business
pages.. d'uh.

Personally, I enjoyed the imaginativeness of the Peterman catalogue even before
Seinfeld came along.
And the SEinfeld parody only made me fonder of it.

Agreed. I think the "J. Pretentsions" moniker is rather apt; after all,
J. Peterman did sell a lot of high-end crap only for the upscale market.

I wouldn't call it wimping out. Trudeau is just making fun of
Peterman's overblown catalog and image, like Seinfeld did.
