pappy's golden age comics blogzine has some truly mental stuff from the 1940s and '50s, like basil wolverton's "spacehawk":

a little big to past on the forum but it's worth checking out.

If he postered this I would so buy it.

that's pretty cool. the only thing missing is an acknowledgment that even at our most mature, a lot of us have to make that climb a few times a day. it's easy to slip back down.

emily flake is cool.

and here's my favorite comics news of the week: barnaby reprints!

[Hildegard]

America's Most Underrated Ingenious Comic Strip Artist/Writer. She has been overlooked because of (1) ppl who don't realize she's about more than "just lesbians" (her characters are lesbian but the substance is much more far-reaching), and (2) ppl who still think her comics are for gay women only. Alison Bechdel deserves more attention.

I used to buy these for Ms Monica when we were dating. <shrugs>

One of my definitions got accepted to the Urban Dictionary, I'm not telling which one!

I made a tarot called Urban Tarot. I haven't finished the major and minor arcana yet. Cups, Wands, Spades, and Pentacles are done though.
I haven't decided to make it a website or not yet.

speaking of which, http://www.facade.com is a fun website if you like that sort of stuff. No, Facade.com is not my website.

I tried to submit the term 'Urban Tarot' as a definition to the Urban Dictionary but it got turned down.
Using Urban Tarot as a way to describe a room full of people. "The bar was just an Urban Tarot of who's who."

I would really like to publish my tarot cards eventually. I don't want to conflict with any other urban tarots out there.

I'm almost too afraid to draw my comics. I had a childrens book title that someone ran off with and made a comic. (probably not intentional )

I also think Lucas ran off with someone's accidentally.

Oh well, I might get a real seven nation army instead.

I love this song.

I'm going to start drawing a comic called "Tinkers: Exploding Cat!"
"I'm Tinkers, this is WHAT I do, I make things EXPLODE."
"I'm Tinkers, I successfully make things explode for the government."
