    Truman Capote and social media.

    Man, ol Truman wouldn't have been able to rock this social media stuff. I mean, he could be so mean, but he did it in such a loving way, that, if you were in the room with him, you wouldn't care what he said about you. It was just his way. What was it Bogie said to Lauren Bacall after he met...

    R.I.P Jack Davis

    The man was a freakin legend. Probably the biggest influence on my own art, I've studied this master since I was a kid. Never heard of Jack Davis? If not, chances are you've seen his work--countless movie posters, Time Magazine and TV Guide covers, sports cards, record albums, and about a...

    Strawberry Spring

    What, no love for Strawberry Spring? Another good, dark tale. I remember being a very young lad, no older than eight or nine, and having Mom sit us kids down and reading this one aloud to us. Mom used to be cool like that.

    Lost the legendary king of bluegrass yesterday. Mr. Ralph Stanley, a man of constant sorrow, died at 89 years of age. No rank stranger, he. He shall be missed.

    Check It Out! with Dr. Steve Brule

    Fascinating stuff. The episode on boats (or broats) really opened my eyes to the ways of that salty mistress, the deep blue sea. And why spend all that kinda paper money for a buncha stinky old seafood when there are perfectly good drumpsters out back just fulla crab legs and stuff. How did I...

    R.I.P. Darwin Cooke

    Just learned that beloved retro-style comic artist Darwyn Cooke succumbed to cancer Saturday. He was 53. He will be very missed. His work was stunning.

    Music to write by

    This one is for the creative folken. What kinda music do yez scribble to? Myself, when it comes to writing, I have to keep it instrumental. I can't have a buncha words coming in when I'm trying to push some out, see? So I'll listen to some jazz, maybe. Diz, Bird, Monk, and Miles. Or maybe some...

    Suggestions for a 42 year-old?

    Something with lots of swearing and degenerate sex. Violent. Drug usage. Nihilistic characters who treat each other terribly. A dim view of authority figures and a middle finger to polite society. A rambling, speed-induced prose style that spans hundreds of pages. People getting eaten by wild...

    Mushroom Season

    Here in Northern Indiana (and, I suspect, in neighboring states) it's an all out death match as various shroomers scour the woodlands in search of the elusive (but very tasty) Morel Mushroom. Season only lasts from about the end of April to the middle of May. Already just about got in a fight...

    Soda Pop

    I wanna talk about Soda Pop. Why not? Talk about everything else, might as well get this over with. Notice I used 'Soda' and 'Pop' together, thus uniting those regions who say just Soda, or Pop, or you cats down south who call every pop a Coke (see how I said Pop? That's the kinda region I'm in)...

    Vinyl

    Marty Scorcese and Mick Jagger had a baby, and it's an HBO series called Vinyl. Outtasite, man! Just dug the two hour pilot, directed by Marty, and it's dynamite, cats. I mean, if you dig old school 70s sex/drugs/rock and roll stories. Give it a watch--if yer not squeamish, that is. Lots of...

    Lakiesha Holloway:Ms. Mercedes?

    Okay, I don't know WHAT kind of car she was driving, but you know what I thought about when I first heard about this. Sad story, but...oooEEEEooo...

    Pre-Code Horror

    Seems appropriate. For some reason, around 1950, kids went ape for horror comics. Books like: Probably because of artists like this EC alum, George Evans:

    Hoosier Hysteria

    Anybody heard about this? Happened some fifteen miles or so from the town I work in. Shows the kinda idiots I have to deal with: A woman's intense fear of spiders has set off an improbable chain reaction that led to a collision with a school bus and sent her 9-year-old son to the hospital...
