Bruce McCall imagines a delightfully twisted world in the style of art-deco advertising, where speed rules, Albert Speer designs roadside attractions, and Howard Hughes delivers three star meals from prototype racing planes. The joke is stretched like taffy, but manages to hold together. I particularly enjoyed the discourse on Golf Carts of the Third Reich, which is a spot on parody of actual Nazi procurement.
