Publisher's Synopsis
Charlie Robins wrote thousands of newspaper columns during his career, crafting each one with his distinctive style of humor, often self-deprecating, usually sardonic but never mean-spirited. He exposed our biases and vices and often cast a cynical eye on our institutions, but always expressed hope that we eventually would do the right thing. He also delighted in the odd and peculiar facets of our world. When the Florida skunk ape was reported roaming the Everglades, he eagerly led an expedition to find the beast. But most of all, he used his gift of humor as his weapon against ignorance and prejudice.
