Weekend Recap

Posted on September 21, 2009 by Phil Fountain

I gotta admit, I spent enough time on my duff this weekend to make even that layabout Brewer jealous. But, who could blame me? It was a GREAT sports weekend for the ol’ Philster. It started off with UW beating SC. Sweet. Then the Dodgers hammered my new favorite-player-to-hate, Brad Penny, on their way to taking 2 of 3 from the hated Giants. Not enough? How about UCLA moving to 3-0 on the season by stuffing Kansas State? Then, once my teams had vanquished all their foes, it was time for the season premiere of “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” “Curb” was followed by what promises to be my next favorite show, “Bored to Death,” with Jason Schwartzman deftly playing a modern day, angst-ridden, Walter Mitty-ish author/private eye. Funny stuff.

To my neighbors: Sorry about the state of my lawn. I was really busy.

Phil Fountain is a pseudonym for ANC’s prodigal cartoonist, Philbert Phountain, who has recently returned from a working hiatus where he served as the lead fact-checker for George Santos. He lives in Shasta County with his long-suffering wife, Christine, as well as a variety of layabouts and urchins who claim to be his progeny … including three grandchildren. He busies himself with his crayons and obsessing over the fate of his favorite baseball team while a small dog sleeps under his desk. He’s actually not such a bad guy as evidenced by the fact the dog rarely bites him anymore. Look for his crudely rendered drawings in future posts on A News Café.
