America, 2023: "A NATIONAL DISGRACE: Photos Leaked of Horrific January 6 Prisoner Abuse".
Let's go, er, Bob! "James Comer Demands NARA Provide All Documents for VP Biden’s Secret Pseudonym ‘Robert L. Peters’".
The gods of the copybook headings are back - and they're really pissed off: "First, the Moral Collapse..."
What matters is how the people of Kentucky view him: "Poll: 18% of Americans View Mitch McConnell Positively as Age Comes Under Scrutiny".
Apparently, Calvin and Hobbes was more of an albatross than a labor of love: "Why Bill Watterson Vanished".
An interesting story out of Canada (this is what happens when your family tree turns out to be a manchineel instead of a maple).

So Watterson was basically OCD while creating the cartoon? I can see that.
ReplyDeleteAt a gallery carrying works by Charles Schultz in San Diego, I remarked to one of the staff that it seemed odd that Schultz never seemed to consider retiring. He told me that Shultz was basically obsessive about working and could not give it up. It was almost as if he couldn't separate his sense of self from his work.
Yet another example of how instability so often seems to accompany creative genius. Much better that we got brilliant cartoons instead of serial killers, I guess. (Fans of both Schultz and Watterson, that's a joke, all right?)
Calvin and Hobbes is still running - rerunning - in the local daily. I hope Watterson's getting something from that.

ReplyDeleteI guess the pressure of producing quality material, meeting deadlines, fighting for fair compensation, etc. must really put a strain on one's mental equanimity. Fortunately, I was never afflicted with genius, so I've been spared that particular kind of torment.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to share this and I don't think you'll see it elsewhere, although there are similar videos out there. It's a Russian and a Ukrainian sharing a heartfelt few minutes over old nostalgic songs they both know, starting from being very wary:

I thought the middle song about night was actually very good, and the way it affected the Ukrainian guy was heartbreaking. Maybe you won't get through the popup, I signed up just to see stuff like this.
Slavophiles on there blame 'anglo-saxons' for dividing them, which is a pity. I'm very angry at the Brits for maintaining their old anti-Russian shenanigans which date back to the colonial rivalry era though.
My buddy suggests a dab of oil on your exhaust.
ReplyDeleteIt's like a destroyer laying down a smoke screen.
That would make messing with the climate jerks perfect.
Bruce: That was fascinating. A tense, but beautiful moment.
ReplyDeleteI applaud the motorist for coming up with a creative way to clear the road of trash. I hope others will take note. It'll be especially funny if the jackholes have glued themselves to the pavement.
ReplyDeleteI want a mannequin dressed in a tie-dye t-shirt and jeans tied to the front of the truck. The rear bumper would sport a "I don't brake for climate mongers" sticker.
ReplyDeleteThe Ryan Samsel is indeed a national disgrace. In addition to the organizations who are curiously silent, add Mark Levin's firm, and the ACLJ. It's a sure bet that Ryan is only one of many. What can the common person do?
