In 1999, the strip was turned into an animated series that aired for two seasons on the UPN network. Technology and inventions also play a central theme in the strip. The month of May is officially ‘National Inventions Month’.

For our April quote of the month, we decided to switch things up a bit and give our audience a quote from a former socialist who changed his political beliefs and became a hard line capitalist. Quite a change of pace from our Leprechaun buddy from last month. Max Eastman was an American writer on literature, philosophy and society, a poet, and a prominent political activist. After completing a PhD at Columbia University, he became editor of America’s leading socialist periodical called ‘The Masses’. The periodical was very critical of the first world war and landed Eastman in trouble with the United States government several times. Eastman twice stood trial under the provisions of the Sedition Act, but was acquitted each time. Unfortunately, the periodical was forced to shut down because of charges under the Espionage Act of 1917. Eastman traveled to Russia and stayed there for over a year and witnessed the Bolshevik Revolution. He was a strong supporter of Leon Trotsky with whom he became friends with and would help to translate several of his works from Russian to English for American readers.

Eastman would later condemn Socialism in Russia after witnessing the Party being overtaken by radical influences such as the ideals of Joseph Stalin who would have someone assassinate his good friend Trotsky while in exile in Mexico. Following the Great Depression, Eastman changed his political beliefs and started to promote free market capitalism and wrote articles condemning socialism in the Libertarian publication ‘The Freeman’. Eastman published more than twenty books on subjects as diverse as the scientific method, humor, Freudian psychology and Soviet culture as well as volumes on poetry, his memoirs and reflections on his personal encounters with many famous people during his career such as Charlie Chaplin, Ernest Hemingway, Sigmund Freud, Albert Einstein and many other influential people. In this month’s quote, Eastman talks about jokes from one of his published volumes on humor. He gives his opinion on how one understands a joke and explains the ability to prove you have a sense of humor…

It’s the month of March. We’ve already done a quote or two for St-Patrick’s day so we’ve already exhausted most of our quotes on this limited drunken holiday. But, we haven’t exhausted any quotes on leprechauns yet! And we’re not talking about any ordinary leprechaun. Oh,no sir. We’re talking about the evil leprechaun played by actor Warren Davis in the ‘Leprechaun’ film series. Leprechaun is a 1993 comedy horror film written and directed by Mark Jones and starring Warwick Davis and Jennifer Aniston in her first film role. The plot revolves around an evil leprechaun that is imprisoned for ten years in a farmhouse until he is broken free and goes on a killing rampage in search of his beloved gold. The movie was one of the first theatrical releases of 1993 and became a surprise hit. There have been six sequels made with a 7th film set to be released sometime in 2013 with WWE and Lions Gate teaming up to produce the film. One of the great things about the Leprechaun character is that he would often give the audience a great one-liner or comedic joke before attempting to kill someone. These one-liners or jokes would often come in the form of a lyrical poem where several of the words used in the poem would rhyme together. In this month’s quote, the Leprechaun explains to the audience what the consequences shall be if anybody tries to steal his gold…
