To this day, I get wisdom and thrills re-re-etc-reading Ellen Willis on the rock and roll universe.
There, I said it!

Seems more like 1000 years ago than 100.

Total electric mess with phones, home computer and TV cable box.
Things a bit better but not all fixed yet ...

Could have a double incarnation on here. But it‘s too much hasslehasslehassle.

Doing a little test here …

And she’s so much sexier than Olive!

Looked so cool, but I never read it and always wondered if it was any good.

I once saw a copy of the Wind in the Willows band LP with her on the cover. But they wanted a jillion dollars for it.

Outstanding comic. Bought mine off the racks as a tot.

I thought that was a very ominous sign about 2026 from the start …

One of the all-time wild photos.

Huh — Mickey IS Disney!

Aaaarrrgghh! Last thing I need is an abrupt reminder that this utterly crappy band that’s been playing for 16,400 years is starting their Spring Tour.

Ba-da PUM!

His grave there is worth a visit. Surrounding vibes really intense.

March 11, 1971: Jim Morrison leaves for Paris to reorient himself emotionally and creatively and to avoid the jail sentence given to him in Miami.

He will never return to the USA.

Field of Flippers

Hippy pioneer.

Always looked like the Central Casting ideal of “Quiz Champ”.

Ah yes, the landmark where MAUS began. (Very droll Crumb, too.)

Stop making me have unclean thoughts about “lips”!

Original Atlantic vinyl one of the prizes in my stacks. Bought when I was a teenage weirdo.

Punks.

I mean not just this strip, but newspaper comics as a prime medium.

First females!
Then wee males!!
What next?!?!?

Completing my collection of Pogo newspaper comics in hardback. A deeper dream than, say, Peanuts ever was. Sad that such a popular amusement with enlightenment is gone for good.

Will state again:
If winter comes, can spring be far behind?

Yeah, way freakin’ endless wads behind!!!
