The Game Ain’t Over ‘til the Fatso Man Sings
Howie Chackowicz
Howie Chackowicz (b. 1969) is a Canadian musician, comic artist, and radio personality. His most recent publication is a collection of cartoons, Howie Action Comics (2008). The following clip is from WBEZ Chicago’s This American Life, the long-running National Public Radio program hosted by Ira Glass, which presents a weekly collection of personal and reported stories centered on a particular theme. The theme for the program from which this clip is taken was “Kid Logic,” or stories about childhood arguments and decision making (This American Life, episode 188). As in Bernard Cooper’s “A Clack of Tiny Sparks: Remembrances of a Gay Boyhood” (p. 98), here Chackowicz considers his early expressions of childhood romance and courtship.
