If you like your humor over the edge, and if you like your humor with a huge hunk of raw reality and a giant chunk of crass cynicism tossed in, then Rio Retardo might be the read for you. There is no weaseling, no waffling, no wussing out with Goodrich—you know exactly where his shadow falls on any given issue—be it life, death, sanity, unsanity, crime, politics, pit bulls running loose terrorizing the neighborhood, or mummified 95-year-old geezers mistaking gas pedals for brakes and blasting holes through post office walls. Truly, this is a hilarious, if bizarre, look at everyday life in Post-sanity 21st-Century America.
