Conversation On The Way To Work
John Lennon: I can show you that when it starts to rain, everything's the same. I can show you, I can show you. Rain, I don't mind. Shine, the weather's fine. Can you hear me, that when it rains and shines, it's just a state of mind? Can you hear me, can you hear me?
Lex10: (misty epiphany shudder) Yes!
John Lennon: sdaeh rieht edih dna nur yeht semoc niar eht fI. niaR. enihsnuS.
Lex10: ?????

J. Proctor - Performing Splendidly
I received this email recently: "Hi lex10 sorry to be a pain (Oh no not more emails) but if you have a spare 30 seconds could you tell me what you think of this song www.jproctor.net/lampost (linked to youtube)
I have put a link on the video so that you can download and keep the screen capture software (as a thank you for watching) which can be used to record your screen and sound, I use it to create online lectures for the College where I work
kindest regards John Proctor.
PS if I am being a pain I am really sorry and just ignore this message"
Well, John, you're not being a pain, your rendition has the three airities: sincerity, clarity, and jocularity. you sing clearly as a friendly bell, with great confidence, and nice choice of song. well done.
Now how 'bout a nice repurposing of early punk hits?

Uncanny Nancy
Gary Lee-Nova, noted British Columbia artist ( works here, here, here and here)
sent me something wonderful and marginally eerie. Note date in lower left corner of panel:
Here's the entire strip for 9/11/57: (click to embiggen)
Professor Lee-Nova also points out, "FYI, an anagram of "Nancy And Sluggo" is Uncanny Old Gags !"
Sends chills down your Bushmiller, don't it?

"They shall not shave off the corner of their beard." - Leviticus
Lex11 (Steve) has done it again, first my Dad farting and now:
Producer of Life Behind Beards. A half hour documentary detailing one man's journey, along with a coterie of colorful (and hairy) companions in his quest to have the best beard competition NYC's money can buy. Humorous, but also insightful as to the attachment and emotion that serious beard growers develop. Available soon at the www.lifebehindbeards.com site, you can view the first trailer below: (More trailers soon.)

Think about it: "Ive Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts" could be a song about a food source.

Tempus Fugit
Square America has gotten linked all over the place in the past but recently I backed into it via an image search and found a series of these:
timeline portraits made into animated gifs.
The stuff of genius. Now go look. Somebody needs to give these M.F.s a grant.

Rare Comic Ads
These ads are from the April 1950 issue of Blondie comics. These pre-date my existence in time, and are unfamiliar in content if not in form. All images link to giant versions for text perusal.
Let's commence with The Chevalier. Later becoming "The Shatner".
I wasn't even born yet, and I knew this was a ripoff....
Is this a camo lighter? In 1950??
That's right bitches, any car....
Published during the so-hot-they-need-a-full-page-color-ad era of tiny electric motor sales.
Because sane bargains aren't as thrilling......
A familiar form but unfamiliar content....
Lastly half-page entries (probably from Sundays) of the Flop Family, which mutated into Philander Flop (I realized in bed this morning and subsequently researched)......why do comics suck nowadays?
