Who's Who at the Psycho Zoo #31 by Lem



Some remarks about this next sequence:

Who's Who at the Psycho Zoo beings a series where Pacquin Penguin believes Charles de Gaulle is his "daddy". You hear little about de Gaulle these days, at least in America. You hear about Charles de Gualle Airport in France, but that doesn't tell you much about the man.

de Gualle was a great military leader and hero of France. Much like Eisenhower here after World War II, he rose to become President of France and served two seven-year terms, not consecutively. He was very outspoken and controversial in the 1960s and staunchly pro-France. He withdrew France from NATO, ordered all foreign military units out of France, criticized the USA over Vietnam, backed the Arabs against Israel because he wanted to preserve the oil flow to France and outraged Canadians when he yelled "Viva le Quebec libre" from a balcony during a speech at the Canadian Centennial World Fair.

In other words, throughout the 'sixties, de Gualle was ever-present in the news. I was struck by how much his profile, with his long nose and paunchy body, resembled a penguin. Need I say more?

Who's Who at the Psycho Zoo #38 by Lem

Yes, I'm afraid after all the delay because of my computer crash,there was only this one last Who's Who to do at the Zoo. Now this joins Hector's Hectic Life as a flower in full bloom within the garden.  I will search around for more plantings.
