Reading stuff you can't understand is always fun. Though some six-legged minds do it to look smart, the real kicks come in making mistaken connections and accidentally forcing your usual system-of-blunders onto something totally foreign.

Italian CREEM Leaves Funny Taste

Reading stuff you can't understand is always fun. Though some six-legged minds do it to look smart, the real kicks come in making mistaken connections and accidentally forcing your usual system-of-blunders onto something totally foreign. The French edition of Playboy is a laff riot from beginning to enclunless you know French, and Swedish comic books (FUHN! BORG!) are funnier than a trail of meatballs leading up to a cliff.
But the real yuk-jerker of them all is Re Nudo, Italy's answer to CREEM. Like most Italian answers, Re Nudo is totally incomprehensible and vaguely obscene. While it's doubtful that even actual wop commies can understand much of it, Nudo's finely-honed scribble holds a special sick fascination for Yankee peepers weaned on junk-write. Imagine reading an extra high-density Fernbacher review in opaque pidgin Italian and having the words FOOT LONG HOT DOG jump out at you. That's Re Nudo.
