"McFail and the not so great Gadsby"
Avenues mag has become a nice sunday afternooner (glossy pulp with a good news story or two) now Gadsby sleazy and icky editorial time is over.

And let's not forget A. K. Grant! Although he did, you know, deliberately drink himself to death. Which may just underscore the point that New Zealand is not really a good place for political comedy.
