Prices at smaller places are
usually lower as well, for a vari
ety of reasons and fashions.
“I’ve gone to school for cook
ing for two years,” Cook said,
“and there are things you learn
from being in business over a
number of years, how to cut your
costs.”
Most places like these have
hours that run from early morn
ing to mid-afternoon, but that’s
usually enough for everyone in
volved.
“I come in at 4:30 a.m., and I
do all the cooking,” Dixon said.
“By the time my day is done, it’s
been a 10-hour day at the mini
mum.
“On Friday nights, we have a
fish fry until 8 p.m., so I put
about 17 hours in on that day.”
Mueller was a bit more brief
on the subject.
“We gotta sleep sometime,”
she said, laughing.
Nobody’s planning on shut
ting down anytime soon, either.
“The only thing we want to
do is maybe expand someday,”
Mueller said.
And for Cook, it’s not so
much the business as the people
who keep it running.
“I just love it,” he said. “The
customers are so good, and I
can’t .say enough about the wait
resses.
“They’re a good bunch of
people.”

Dan Pussey’s secret identity is revealed in these four panels from the comic collection “Pussey!” Artwork by Daniel clowes
Book 4
Review
Daniel Clowes
“Pussey!"
Fantagraphics Books
Does this loser sound familiar?
Dan Pussey (pronounced Poo-say)
is America’s greatest comic penciller,
a celebrated cog in the comic book
assembly line with a choked, infantile
imagination.
He appears at sci-fi and fantasy con
ventions, immersed in the nerd lore of
Star Wars while conning fens into buy
ing worthless celebratory crap.
If you wonder why human tragedies
like Pussey exist, read further.
It’s no secret that comic books are
for geeks.
As an art form, the paneled funnies
lave gone from cheap children’s lit
erature to a grotesque corporate mon
strosity.
Though more than 100 titles are
produced each month, the issues are
virtually identical. Every comic fea
tures a select number of muscular men
and women in outrageous outfits who
beat people up with their “super pow
ers” to benefit the community.
Slight derivations in this format are
hailed as “highbrow” within the indus
try. In Neil Gaiman’s “Sandman,” a
pasty-faced hero who looks like a punk
rocker beats up demons and gods in
stead of street thugs. In “The Crow,” a
pasty-faced hero who looks like a punk
rocker becomes a demon to beat street
thugs. While this dumb farce contin
ues, genuinely innovative comics and
artists are marginalized or bought out
quietly by the industry.
So why do people still read them?
Dan Clowes probes this sick social
problem with devastating accuracy in
“Pussey” by Fantagraphics Books, cre
ating a self-critical comic that is at once
outstandingly hilarious and horribly
sad.
Clowes depicts the stunted, re
pressed imagination of the average
comic fan, as well as the Machiavel
lian business practices of comic indus
try giants like Marvel and D.C.
Using comics as an example, he
turns the failures of American culture
on its ear, showing the slick hypocrisy
present in the entertainment industry,
.self-inflated art world and dull suburbs
alike.
Constantly oblivious to any sort ol
meaningful artistic or spiritual intro
spection, Pussey’s idiocy speaks vol
umes about the failure of TV culture.
Far from being callous or cavalier,
Clowes’ critique is so devastating be
cause of its sensitivity to the emotional
retardation of the middle class. As in
Sinclair Lewis’ “Babbit,” he pays care
ful attention to the humanity in losers
like Pussey, exploring the full tragedy
of how homely Spock-ear wearing
geeks never really had a chance for
anything more.
In a sense, freaks like Pussey are
the living symbols of America’s imagi
native persona — fragile passive-ag
gressive geeks shrouded in the thin
capes of pop culture, rather than any
sort of meaningful spiritual or intel
lectually based culture. We as Ameri
cans are no better than these fools; we
just don’t take it to extremes.
Now that’s sad.
