The New
Yorker is known for many things: Its reviews of theatre, film and
literature, its insightful essays, its guide to New York cultural events
and its humor pieces written by the likes of Steve Martin and Woody Allen
but the one thing that really sets it apart is its cartoons. A New
Yorker cartoon is unmistakably a New Yorker cartoon.
The house style is hip and dryer than a martini, sometimes to the point of
opacity. The current issue, pictured above, is the annual cartoon
issue. My favorite cartoon in this issue depicts the Grim Reaper
showing up at a front door at the same time as the Publisher's
Clearinghouse Prize Patrol. The Reader says, "Oh, well, this is
going to be awkward."

Heroes", starring CLint Eastwood, Telly Savalas, Donald Sutherland
& the incomparable Don Rickles. Included are call sheets,
reproductions of the foreign one-sheets, vintage interviews with the stars

Exciting News About City Newsstand!
I know we've been
promising exciting news about City Newsstand in this space for some weeks
but while we still don't have anything concrete to tell you in the terms
of dates I can tell you this much: City Newsstand will be moving to 4024
N. Cicero, right next door to where we are currently. You may
remember that there was a Toys 'R' Us Express in that same space last
Christmas. There are two other things that I need to tell you about
the move. One is that we're still not sure when the move will be and
the other is that before the end of the year we hope to be back at 4018 N.
Cicero. Yes, we're playing musical stores. If you haven't
already guessed it, we're planning to do some serious remodeling at our
store and while we do it we will remain open, but 50 feet North of where
we are now, so as not to get in the way of the work. More info next

Title: The Strand Magazine
Tagline: Mysteries Interviews Articles Reviews
Issue Reviewed: Feb-May 2011
# Pages: 80
Price: $6.95
Frequency: Quarterly
Website: www.strandmag.com
Named after the London magazine that originally
published Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories, this American quarterly
devotes itself to the promotion and preservation of fine mystery writing.
The reason I'm featuring it this week, though, is because of the great
coup managing editor Andrew Gulli scored for this issue: A previously
unpublished suspense story by one of the giants of the mystery field,
Dashiell Hammett. For the uninitiated, Hammett is the former Pinkerton
agent who wrote The Maltese Falcon and The Thin Man and almost
single-handedly transformed the detective story with his snappy prose and
focus on working class crime and detection. The story, "So I Shot
Him", features Hammett's signature concise prose and mastery of
tempo. This is a real event for lovers of classic mysteries, and it's
typical of the excellence that readers of The Strand have come to
expect.

Spring is upon us and with it comes swimsuit issues, baseball annuals, St.
Patrick's Day and another Chicago favorite, Paczki Day! Everywhere
else it's called Mardi Gras and in Rio De Janeiro and New Orleans they
celebrate it with orgies of booze and public nudity but here in Chicago we
are Midwesterners through and through and we celebrate it by eating Polish
jelly donuts. But what donuts! Dozens of fillings are widely
available from the familiar raspberry and lemon custard to the more exotic
plum butter and boozy custard, or just the traditional fresh strawberry,
blueberry, apricot, etc. Depending on where you get them they can be
the size of your fist or the size of a small child's head. Some are
topped with a glaze and others with powdered sugar. For many
Catholics this is their last chance to splurge on sweets until the milk
chocolate haze of Easter morning as the privations of lent start the next

HOT DOGS AND HOT DOG!
This
month's Every Day with Rachel Ray very ambitiously attempts the
impossible, i.e., to determine the best place in America to buy a hot
dog. Of course, as America is the home of the hot dog it would
follow that whatever wiener emporium they choose would also sell the de
facto best hot dog in the world. They did the judging with a March
Madness-style bracket set-up, with four brackets representing the North,
South, West and East regions of the country. They nominated a lot of
great red hot stands. Very wisely they included Hot Doug's here in
Chicago, my personal favorite and a place that would have to be in almost
anybody's top ten. Local institution Superdawg was also nominated
but in the end the wiener winner was Gene's & Jude's out in River
Grove. Eschewing the upscale fancier dogs their judges chose the
simple elegance of G&J's red hot. It's nice to see a good
old-fashioned well-made Chicago-style hot dog get some recognition.
Tonight on The
Late Show with David Letterman the cover of the 2011 Sports Illustrated
Swimsuit Edition will be revealed and ten of the beautiful supermodels
will participate in a special Top Ten. I can't wait! The
magazine officially comes out on Tuesday, February 15 so come on down and

Snow? Is

or so? DANG! Happy New Year, indeed! If you see me

Chickens make great pets, lay tasty eggs, and in
a pinch make a preet good Sunday dinner, too. Ducks & Geese are
noisier but also quite tasty & personable. Anybody with a decent-sized

those who do or are considering doing so there's Backyard Poultry,

Title: Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine
Tagline: The World's Leading Mystery Magazine
Issue Reviewed: February 2011 No. 834
# Pages: 112
Price: $4.99
Frequency: 10 times/year
This magazine, along with a child's handful of
others, is all that's left from the era of pulp fiction. EQMM
is an institution and the gold standard for short crime fiction.
Though its circulation is only a fraction of what it once was it's still a
great read for mystery lovers. The top writers in the field may be
found in its pages, along with talented newcomers. In an era when
very few magazines publish any fiction and most fiction magazines don't
publish at all any more, EQMM celebrates it by publishing almost
nothing but short crime fiction. It also happens to be Johnny
Chicago's favorite magazine.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! -- WEEK II
Last week in this
space I promised a few changes. Believe it or not I actually managed
to implement a few of them in time for this week's entry. As you see
I have posted a goofy new picture of your loyal webmaster. I've also
changed the background color of the blog to a very pale powdery
blue. The big thing this week, though, will be the introduction of a
new feature which I hope will become a weekly fixture here, MAG OF THE
WEEK. So, without further ado, here is the MAG OF THE WEEK:

Title: Twisted South
Tagline: Art · Music · Food · Literature · Sports · Photography. The
Essential, Eccentric South.

# Pages: 128
Price: $6.99
Frequency: Quarterly
There are strange people everywhere.
Everyone has a weird uncle or an eccentric neighbor. In the South,
though, there's so much strangeness it's an intrinsic part of the regional
culture. It's that culture that Twisted South seeks to
document. Just to get into the spirit of Southern strangeness, Twisted
South has not one but two front covers. The idea is that you
read to the middle, flip it over and start reading again at the second
cover. Now that's Twisted!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Can you believe
that two years have passed since we started this blog? It's changed
a little bit over that time. The picture is different. The
frequency is different. There are some new features. Mostly
it's the same, though. With the new year I think maybe it's time to
shake things up just a little. Spruce things up a bit. Change
the picture again, maybe. More photos in general. A new
feature or two. Watch this space next week and see if I've managed
to implement any of these changes.
