World War II: The Animals Talk Back

Sometimes I include talking animals ... I don't consider it a personal failing. If animals never talked in the comic strips, half of them would go away, and newspapers around the world would fold.

Story-telling

Every picture has a story. My mission: throw out the story the picture came with and make up a new one.

Sherlock Holmes & the Ugly Falling Out

As much as I enjoy other iterations & updates of the Homes / Watson canon, the portrayals by Basil Rathbone & Nigel Bruce will always have a special place in my heart. 

Nancy Drawn & Quartered

So apparently, they made a series of "Nancy Drew" films beginning in the 30s, starring a young Bonita Granville (not to be confused with bonita flakes, which our cat could just kill you for).

Fahrenheit 451 meets net neutrality

: 

Like most kids, I read Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451" while still in the throes of puberty. It stirred the ol' adolescent idealism, but in the 1970s it was easy to dismiss its message with a shrug and say, "It can't happen here."

Those days are gone.
