Editors Note – August 08

Happy Birthday to the Foolish Times, which turns five years old this month. Five years old-that explains all the misspellings, crude drawings, and general crankiness; the failure to understand long-term consequences; the stubbornness; the lack of self-control; and the continual need for a nap. To celebrate this milestone, we’ve put together a fantastic issue, utilizing “writers” and “cartoonists.” But don’t take my word for it-just turn the page. You’ll see a bunch of ads, which is also a funny little way we have of celebrating. Yes, words, cartoons, and ads-there’s probably no better way to celebrate turning five, unless it’s joining us for our celebration at the Golden State Theatre on August 23. Come help us blow out the candles on our cake, and admire how much we’ve grown.
