Only three weeks to midsummer and here comes the June issue of
Lighten Up On Line, with Spherians well to the fore as ever, namely Gail White, Rob Stuart, Ed Shacklee, Martin Parker, Chris O’Carroll, Robin Helweg-Larsen, Max Goodman, Peter Goulding, Martin Elster, Maryann Corbett, Jerome Betts, Melissa Balmain and Brian Allgar, plus new members Damian Balassone and David Alpaugh.
Among the topics they have afforded the lightening and brightening treatment are acne, the afterlife, cargo pants, Herrick, naked love rats (
er, make that mole rats) nude gunmen, parallel universes, pigeons, punctuation, scabs, spiders, tennis dresses, and toast racks.
Enough to give the over-solemn the willies, which is exactly what our Montaigne-quoting Max Goodman does. What would LUPO do without its Spherical sparklers?
