This Week’s Cover
- If Mr. Nervousindigestion doesn’t stop resenting banana splits, he won’t digest his tea. Maybe it isn’t splits he resents, but people who can eat them and survive. Especially half-sized people. Perhaps his gastropsychology is all wet. If Mr. N. should take a platter containing two bananas, three ice creams, three wads of sauce, a pint of whipped cream and a handful of decorative debris, and shovel the whole mess rapidly down his neck, possibly his stomach would telegraph up to his brain: “First decent meal come where many years don’t stop.” Then his brain could worry about something else and his stomach become a gourmand. Okay, so this is silly. Hurry up and finish your little snack, kids—Artist Amos Sewell is going to buy another round.
