A look at people exhibiting odd behavior--without their clothes on.
"Human wickedness and folly is the fodder for satire, and though it takes many forms, ultimately, its purpose is to satisfy the human urge to make fun of itself, whether explicitly or through obscure parody. I would like to thank George W. Bush for personifying exactly what I mean.
Satire is not what this collection is all about, but it tends to reliably creep into most of the work on these pages. I thank heroes Rabelais, Moliere and Voltaire for their divine inspiration. Nudity, drunkenness, religious mischief, greed, lust and general bawdiness fuel the fires of satire. As long as people continue to be wicked to each other, satirists will continue to eat well and often. No higher truths are known other than those offered from their blazing pens. At least, I hope this is the case."
a word on satire
In 1998, after a horrifying evening in Hong Kong, Mobley decided to call it quits. Twenty-five years of traversing the globe for corporate America had taken its toll. He hopped the next flight back to the U.S. Late that year he began work on "Men In Suits," a semi-fictional account of his years on the road.
When not composing fiction, Mobley enjoys constructing essays and whimsical commentaries, a few of which are reprinted on these pages.
He lives in the Seattle with his wife and five children.

why "nude"
satire?
"It's come to my attention that much of what I write about has to do with human dignity in the face of nudity. Plus, nudity seems to be a popular topic. Thus, a theme was born, and it's been very, very good to me."
