      Comical Occurrences - Christopher S. Ackerman

      Comical Occurrences chronicles the experiences of a life lived on the precipice of bad taste. Staring into the abyss of the magic-mirror below, one perceives the way things look from the clown’s wry perspective. Amidst a society bent on stupid seriousness and ‘business as usual,’ those who the author calls blessed refuse to accept (or accommodate) the blind Magician running the show of world politics/professional ethics. These jesters hardly see the gun commanding them to sing. Nor, despite the king’s presumption or their flare for the dramatic, does joy proceed from their personalities except by virtue of their own self-intoxication. Call them Cartoonish Characters, Jokers, Comedians, Screwups: they are the divine souls dancing on the graves of the eternally dismal. My friends!
