Ol' Slim's Views from the Porch: A Plethora of Punditry, a Wonderment of Wisdom

By Slim Randles

When the weight of the world becomes too much for those living in the cities, there is hope. It is Ol' Slim's Views from the Porch, a monumental expenditure of words and artwork that has graced the pages of New Mexico Magazine since Tilly had pups, or January 2003. With Grem Lee's accompanying illustrations, Slim Randles' column has been introduced into homes across the country, bringing with it a plethora of punditry and a wonderment of wisdom. Twenty-four of Randles' columns are presented here with his views on many hot topics, such as how to master the secret language of dogs, why men need a hole-up spot, and why coffee has joined corn dogs and barbecued potato chips as one of the world's three essential food groups.

A delightful sampling of homestyle American wit.

Ol' Slim's Views From the Porch: A Plethora of Punditry, A Wonderment of Wisdom is an anthology of twenty-six of Slim Randles' timeless columns, originally run in New Mexico Magazine. Charming, sketchy black-and-white illustrations by Grem Lee illustrate this tongue-in-cheek funny allotment of reflections from who's going to wear the Universal Wrestling Foundation crown to the marvels of dutch oven cookery to why China is more fly-free than America, to why it isn't truly spring until you see concrete blocks flying about in the air. A delightful sampling of homestyle American wit.
