...because why not.
Dear Mailing List,
Big update here:

ALSO:
It is my honor to give the M. Victor Leventritt Lecture at Harvard University this Thursday (11/16). The lecture is in conjunction with "Dissent!"-- an exhibit of political art at Harvard's Fogg Museum. Since the exhibit includes some GYWO comics, they asked if I would give a lecture. I said, "Yes-- if it means I can be on the short list to become the next president of Harvard University."
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I AM IN THE RUNNING!!!
My campaign motto: "We Should Pay Down 100% of Harvard's Endowment in Five Years-- Our Goal is a Zero-Balance Endowment."
Anyway, here is the lecture info:
Thursday, November 16

And now, a private message for any optometrists or ophthalmologists:
Hello, I am developing a stand-up comedy routine about ophthalmology and refractive surgery. Yes you read that correctly, all your wildest dreams are about to come true: Everything from jokes about radial keratotomy to jokes about matrix metalloproteinase expression in corneal wounds. Does this entice you? Oh, and also, jokes about LASIK lasers-- VISX versus NIDEK. Anyway, what I need is an appreciate audience. Could you please book me a gig at an ophthalmology conference and pay me $5,000 to perform this act? PLEASE SAY YES. Contact me at dr@mnftiu.cc Thanks!
