Robin Landseadel quoted from p.47

a) truly great passage
b) helps build up Zoyd for us - he makes money at lawn work in
addition to the crawdad gig
c) also harkens back to the GR character who wanted to institute S&M
on the family level; here it combines with showmanship to enliven
business
d) although I'm not crazy about de Sade, whom Daffy Duck might call a
deth-picable individual, his image here is amusing
