Happy heavenly birthday to Ed Asner!
It’s well-documented that Hack’s cover artist Jonny M.’s first celebrity crush was sitcom legend Mary Tyler Moore. But Hack never told Jonny that he knows dozens of dudes who had the same affection for MTM, many of whom who were so despondent over her not returning their feelings (even though all of them only knew her through watching her TV show of Saturday night) that they jumped out a window rather than face life without her. Fortunately, Jonny gave Mary the boot before it came to that and took up a long-lasting fantasy relationship with Linda Ronstadt, but Hack wrote this scathing indictment of Mary Richards’ siren song in memory of those who weren’t so lucky.
