Hey Fatso

About the Book

In this montage of sharply focused and often amusing observations, former Omaha World-Herald columnist Al Frisbie takes you on an entertaining, humorous and sometimes heart-tugging journey as he reconstructs the trials and tribulations we all experience as we stumble through everyday life.

From his days as a leatherneck and his rise to journalistic mediocrity...to the joys and heartaches of marriage and raising a family...to his on-again, off-again relationship with a black-hearted, black-furred feline named Pepper, Al Frisbie has masterly captured all those universally embarrassing, painful and wonderful moments that make life worth living.

Through "HEY, FATSO!" Frisbie has penned a collection of memories and experiences that contain all the warmth, humor and down-home wisdom that made him one of the area's most popular and well-read columnists.
