| John Callahan is thirty-eight years old andparalyzed for life. How does he cope? "Ionly flirt with girls who look like they haveground-floor apartments." As a nationally known cartoonist, Calla-han is infamous for his bizarre (some wouldsay "twisted") sense of humor. But his lifehas been as outrageous as his cartoons The Callahans, a strict Irish family, thoughtthey couldn t have children--until theyadopted John and then proceeded to pro-duce five natural children of their own."To save endless explanations, Dad wouldtell people that I took after his red-hairedGrandma Ethel, who had come over fromIreland. I always felt funny about that." These feelings led to his career as both aCatholic-school troublemaker, who drewunspeakable sketches of the nuns, and ateenage alcoholic. Then, in his twenty-firstyear, he spent one last day on his feet: chas-ing away a hangover with a half-pint oftequila, smoking cigarettes in the shower("It takes imagination to support a three-pack-a-day habit"), and finally taking adrunken, ninety-mph ride into disaster. |
