Oh Daddy Chronicles
by Barry RobbinsPublish: Oct 11, 2020Humor Book Overview
No one and no thing is safe in the Oh Daddy Chronicles - a political satire taking dead aim at the 45th President of the United States - a guy named Trump. It's structured as largely independent skit-like episodes, each one taking on a different target. One reviewer described it as: "This is Saturday Night Live, in written form, on steroids." Who am I to argue?
The episodes generally take actual events we're familiar with, toss in a healthy dose of comic imagination, and put everything in a blender. What emerges is anyone's guess, but it's usually pretty funny. The "Chronicles" answers questions such as why the President was so into hydroxychloroquine and how his cognitive impairment exam actually went.
Helping to carry the burden of irreverence is a motley assortment of lovable supporting characters - Squishie the FedEx deliveryman, the fortune cookie master Wang So Fun, the tomato sauce expert Giuseppe Sauceatoni and, of course, Melania's dear Uncle Slobodan, the pig farmer from Zagorje ob Savi.
