Yea but - who really is Susan Harkins?

I enjoy 30s cartoons, 40s children’s books, 50s illustrations, 60s Batman, 70s game shows, 80s Saturday Night Live, and 90s sitcoms.

“I’m not big on holidays but believe everyone deserves something special and a  wish on their birthday – you don’t need cake if that’s not your thing, jam a candle in a steak and make a wish.”

I enjoy stand-up comedy, auto-biographies and fantasy novels. I saw Space Balls before Star Wars.
