Auntie Mame: An Irreverent Escapade is a 1955 novel by American author Patrick Dennis chronicling the madcap adventures of a boy, Patrick, growing up as the ward of his Aunt Mame Dennis, the sister of his dead father.

 The book is often described as having been inspired by Dennis' real-life eccentric aunt, Marion Tanner, whose life and outlook mirrored those of Mame, but Dennis denied the connection. The novel was a runaway bestseller, setting records on the New York Times bestseller list, with more than 2 million copies in print during its initial publication. It became the basis of a stage play, a film, a stage musical, and a film musical.

 In 1958, Dennis wrote a sequel titled Around the World with Auntie Mame.

 Auntie Mame is a 1958 American Technirama Technicolor comedy film based on the 1955 novel of the same name by Edward Everett Tanner III (under the pseudonym Patrick Dennis) and its 1956 theatrical adaptation by Jerome Lawrence and Robert Edwin Lee. This film version stars Rosalind Russell and was directed by Morton DaCosta. It is not to be confused with a musical version of the same story that appeared on Broadway in 1966 and was later made into a 1974 film, Mame, starring Lucille Ball as the title character.

Very good movie. I’d definitely watch it again.

These two never showed up in each other’s comics beyond sometimes sharing a cover which is all fine and well; personally I’m not a big fan of crossovers and multiverses and I like that they have their own individual shit going on, but also. But also. They’d be super fun together.

This came to me in a vision from God

This might be too specific to have broad appeal, but I do what I do in the name of science, not wealth or fame.

...During the two hours Missy and I sat out on a rusty iron grape sofa, I counted four different maids shaking their dust mops over our heads and then some old cow on the third floor with a bird-feeding station on her window sill threw a whole loaf of stale French bread out and then slammed her window down. I guess it was meant for the pigeons, but it hit Missy. I was so damned sore that I picked it up like a football and sent it right back through the window, glass and all. There was a terrible squawk and then she stuck her fat face through the hole and started screaming "You little brats! I'm gonna call the police!"

"Go ahead and call 'em. And be sure to tell 'em you've been throwing your garbage out the window like the slob you are."

"Fresh little bastard!"

"Neurotic!" Missy yelled."
