Gibberings CXI: Faster flappin' robin

I love Doonesbury. Ignore the first two panels, you won't understand them unless you follow the strip.

They bloody multitask!
 
Brimz: Smoke weed, you know it makes sense. It's how I get through any minor illness. :sus:

SHM: Like that strip, the mystery of the first two panels is what puts me off Doonesbury - I'm aware that there's a huge cast of characters and that some (most?) of them are based on real people and as I mainly see it in four panel instalments (yes I read the Guardian) I generally have no idea what is going on.

Here's some Little Nemo in Slumberland:

This one's been dubbed into German, but check out that elephant!

I might scan some of my favourites and stick them up later if I get time. These are fair examples but some of the episodes I was looking at yesterday are almost tear-jerkingly beautiful.

The older guy in that strip ('Pop', not the guy in the first two panels) is called Duke. He is based on Hunter S Thompson.

There is a whole catalogue of Doonesbury books to help fill you in Jan. ;)

Also, this.

Doonesbury.slate.com

Which has a full archive and features on each character to help you.

For me, Trudeau is the world's greatest living political genius. Zola in comic form, for the modern age.

Your Nemo strips are great btw.

Most def. i can't handle baccy so ye ole pipe it is . I was going to buy a new one 2day . Seems unlikely . Their used to be a old timer that had a tidy little stall in a market just outta the city but in a real good pitch .
Legend he was , only comes about 2 daysa month now . Says that it doesn't pay since the internet .

Shame as he was real n had stories & new the score no snobbery as is common with that scene .
I asked him if he had thought about going online , he said it wasn't about that. For him it was the social aspect , says the festivals are what keeps him in it .

He always has a good well priced selection of all types of stuff under £50.
 
I think I've got one of the books somewhere - around the time that there was a feather running for president if I recall correctly? No idea where it is now but I do remember 'getting it' when large chunks of it were presented in one go. I gathered that about HST, will check out the site and do a bit of digging!

This is a Bruce Springsteen song for our times...sums it up for a lot of people.
 
It's a real downer though he was a fixture like . The guy that owns the head shop is a proper snob n cos i bought a crack pipe off him straight judged me . The old timer would never do that.

I mean if your selling crack pipes what do u expect jah ijeett y'na.

Ooh, me likey. Gotta find more stuff by this guy :D

Slept like I don't know what when I finally drifted off. Which means I am now hideously behind schedule! So in true responsible fashion I am going to sack off everything that can't be done electronically and go see my dealer instead. Toodle pip, all!

Same here. Took a day's holiday on Friday so I'd be right for Saturday night, went and watched a film and felt like shit immediately afterwards so I just went home. Saw about four hours of yesterday - couldn't stay awake longer than a couple of hours at a time. Weird. No late Saturday nights and no drugs to blame for it either.

Still - 20 minutes scoring on public transport running by Jamaica Time?

Phone up that Guinness Book Of Records! :)

I'm going to remove that quote from its context entirely (as is the vogue these days), pretend the next sentence didn't clear up any possible ambiguities and just paste it here and there for my own amusement, hoping that some dimwit will believe it to be evidence of your own personal Road to Damascus.

Luckily said amusement will not only be very limited in depth but will no doubt expire very quickly.

No problem. Quite an interesting blog, that. All he has to say on Winsor McCay is here : http://dreamersrise.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Winsor McCay

I think we all know what WM would be accused of* were he peddling his visions in this day and age. Surreal subject matter aside I just adore his drawings!

edit: * Here's 'the mushroom one'. Contrast isn't as good as in my book but you can still sniff the sophistication of his drawing & use of colour and pattern. Here's a man who's several steps ahead of his contemporary cinematographers.

That's art you idiots, not vandalism. And it's funny.

Milton Keynes and the original concrete cows - that's vandalism.

Missed the 'cows' bit at first and just assumed Milton Keynes as a whole was to be shipped off to the middle of a desert somewhere.

Plans for tonight sorted, champagne and films with girlthing, booya. Assuming my housemates aren't in and out as they tend to be when I got her over anyways. Every fucking time I swear, having five blokes in the house is like having your own personal gash alarm. No female presence goes unnoticed.
