Tides Motels Meeting with Crackerjack Kid
In a matter of days, Ray Johnson shot back his add-0n "corrections" to
Crackerjack Kid. "The kid's "Moo York" remained unchanged, but Johnson applied
correction fluid over "Bovine, N.Y." and inscribed "Bouvier, N.Y." The gameplay
on words grew when Johnson wrote "Boy, Gurl" with the cow teet determining
gender spelling. The kid's nom de plume, normally a genderless pseudonym, was
altered to "Cracker Jacqueline." Crackerjack responded with a rubberstamp
"Cowlicks Issue," placed in the upper right-hand corner of the sheet, as if to
certify the official closure of the correspondence
triage.
