And welcome back to The Dana Gould Hour Podcast. It\u2019s the holidays! The election is over and, although I haven\u2019t been paying much attention to politics, I\u2019m sure everything turned out grea... WHHHHHAAAAAA?!?!?!?!?! But I\u2019m still me and you\u2019re still you, so let\u2019s be who we are and do what we do.  Bob Fingerman is here. Bob is an old pal, and one of the finest comic artists in the biz, Bob gained fame in the 90\u2019s with his comic Minimum Wage which was one of my favorites of the era, along with Dan Clowes' Eightball and Peter Bagge\u2019s Hate. Bob has a new graphic novel out called Printopia and a new book that\u2019s sort of a career retrospective to date (anyway, he\u2019s still a young man) called That\u2019s Some Business You\u2019re In. We\u2019ll be talking about that, his days writing for Cracked and then later MAD working with Harvey Kurtzman, all that and more, Bob Fingerman.  Burt Kearns is here. Burt had visited us before discussing his books The Show Won\u2019t Go On as well as his biography of the great and fascinating Lawrence Tierney. But his new book holds a special fascination for me, and probably you if you\u2019re listen to this podcast with any regularity. It\u2019s called SHEMP! And it\u2019s about Shemp Howard, The great Stooge. People think Shemp replaced Curly. He did not! Curly replaced Shemp, and then Shemp re-replaced Curly after that. But it\u2019s not just Stooge lore, although there\u2019s a lot. It\u2019s also about showbiz in the 1930\u2019s and 1940\u2019s, the experience of American immigrants and how they helped define our culture and so much more. It\u2019s a great read. It has a forward by your friend and mine, Drew Freidman. SHEMP! With an exclamation point. https:\/\/www.DanaGould.com ","author_name":"The Dana Gould Hour","author_url":"http:\/\/danagould.com","html":"
