In his two months as proprietor of Marty's Morgue, a local interview show over Chicago's station WBKB. he has cheerfully managed to provoke daily threats of violence; in addition, he has brought down around his balding head the wrath of the town's teenagers, who bombard him with up to 1,00 letters a week for butchering their sacred cows...
