my mother read us archy and mehitabel when i was a kid, and i always
have several copies around. my favorite memorized line is from when
archy was full of revolutionary frenzy: "you thought i was an archy,
but i am anarchy"

oh, and if you're unsure of his typing method, it was this: he stood
on the typewriter and dove head-first onto the keys. the first epistle
is from when don marquis accidentally left a sheet of paper in his
typewriter.
