John Callahan is thirty-eight years old and
paralyzed for life. How does he cope? "I
only flirt with girls who look like they have
ground-floor apartments."
As a nationally known cartoonist, Calla-
han is infamous for his bizarre (some would
say "twisted") sense of humor. But his life
has been as outrageous as his cartoons
The Callahans, a strict Irish family, thought
they couldn t have children--until they
adopted John and then proceeded to pro-
duce five natural children of their own.
"To save endless explanations, Dad would
tell people that I took after his red-haired
Grandma Ethel, who had come over from
Ireland. I always felt funny about that."
These feelings led to his career as both a
Catholic-school troublemaker, who drew
unspeakable sketches of the nuns, and a
teenage alcoholic. Then, in his twenty-first
year, he spent one last day on his feet: chas-
ing away a hangover with a half-pint of
tequila, smoking cigarettes in the shower
("It takes imagination to support a three-
pack-a-day habit"), and finally taking a
drunken, ninety-mph ride into disaster.
