A cool read on a hot day? Hello “The Icicle: A Story of the Sexless Woman!”

More Satyr Madness!
The other week we caught a glimpse of a satyr getting frisky with a Roman maiden. Now, we have to deal with a rather plump satyr using a flame-haired flapper as a cigarette lighter. Maybe this is why so many women bobbed their hair in the 1920s — it was a protective measure against the speakeasy-crazed satyrs!
PS: For all you Mencken aficionados, this is from our George Thompson Collection of H.L. Mencken! We have oodles of Mencken materials, so come to the Peabody and research ‘em!
