Meet the Chrislamics, hybrid fundamentalists who worship Allajah (Allah x Jehovah) and who follow both Sharia Law and the Old Testament to the letter - to the chagrin of Amy Randall, who is to be stoned to death partly because she learns who really plotted 9/11. Crazy Gran was first penned in 1984 to satirize a failed prophecy of Jehovah's Witnesses that Armageddon would come by that year. In that scenario, Brooklyn Bridge was destroyed by a nuclear device.

Amy's Uncle Al and her mother Ariel both seem to have insider knowledge that something terrible is going to happen in Manhattan on September 11, 2001.

Now, years later, he seems to have come back from the dead....

His acerbic wit finds voice in poetic sequences such...
