Off the Wall at Callahan's

All the best lines from the Saloon at the far-out edge of space-time!

After the original Callahan's Place was destroyed, all of these gems were painstakingly deciphered from blown-up old photos of the wall behind the bar, where Callahan let his customers scrawl graffiti in place of the usual mirror. So technically, every word is "off the wall. " Further ennobled by numerous interior B& W illustrations by Phil Foglio, there are even capsule bios at the end for every person (real or imaginary) quoted in the graffiti section. Welcome to Callahan's Crosstime Saloon . . . There's no place like it in this, or any other, universe.
