A 1/4 Cover My Favorite Martian Comic,

1/4 covers were from when unsold comics (or magazines) had to be returned and the ditributor didn't want to lug a bunch of pulp. The top 1/4 of the cover was submitted for the unsold credit. Needless to say they got sold and/or given away anyway.

Adolph Hitler Campbell: Folks So Stupid They Have Crippled My Ability to Write a Clever Title

This is little Adolph Hitler Campbell - won't you decorate his birthday cake?



The Shop-Rite store that has refused to do so 3 times as well as refused decorate a cake with a swastika won't.

But who will? Wal-Mart y'all! The implication being "We're cool with it - we'll git 'er dun before y'all are finished browsin' the gun dee-part-mint. We know y'all are just thinkin' outta the box!"

We sure that the family, and especially little Adolph Hilter's sisters, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie will enjoy the cake.

Spooky Jetsons Vision of the Future

Whilw watching Jetsons last night on Boomerang video on demand, I was astounded to hear Mr. Spacely invoke "Google finance" in his enticement to a group he was interested in doing an M&A with. This episode was from 1985, and Google was 11 years away. Syntactically, it's not like he was using the number, more like he was throwing around Wired-magazine-style business speak. Spooky! Be ready it happens quickly:




Later in that same episode. we saw this, which had (I hope you'll notice as you watch) that unmistakable Je ne sais quoi, or lagniappe or visual umami that only John K. can provide.
We were sure it was him, but it seemed too early ('85). See what you think:



Sure enough, he appears to have worked as a Layout Supervisor, but for all intents and purposes, it looks like he directed it. I'd love to know what he exactly did to influence this end product while Layout Supervisor (maybe they have that much influence, I don't know) so as to put his indelible mark on this work.

This Is Not Me

When I got married, I ran off with my wife - she was with another guy. But I was not this guy, despite the fact that I enjoyed this video at the time. I love this- the dancers, the falsetto, the spaceman- it signals one of the many death knells of rock, fueled by my jazz and southern rock and new age listening jerkoff peers, who couldn't wait to grow up and embrace the cash fueled dreary.

F**k 'em all.

Good Heavens! How Serendipitous!

While searching through the Guardian for more delightfully stabby violence and other weirdness, I discovered that the Royal Mail has released these Carry On as well as Hammer Films postage stamps. Story and slideshow here and at pic.

WDIWLN?: Carry On Camping

What Did I Watch Last Night?

It's hot, yeah? We were knackered and wanted to watch something, but there was nowt on telly. I have certain TV viewing cues ( such as watching Enchanted Cottage, Angel Face or The Uninvited on a gray, cold, day - I know - not completely connected , but they're cues, not discipline) and the insularity of the AC against the mercury made me want to watch Carry on Camping. High Stupidity- Tanya Gold puts it well in her Guardian commentary:
"The Carry On films are not funny. They are parables about failure. The typical Carry On hero is an everyman who lives a life of misery, unrequited lust and boredom."

In looking it up, I was astounded to find that Sid James,

(who pretty much looked just like this at the time)
the male lead in the film (if there in fact can be one in this ensemble cast comedy) was actually on the eve of commencing an affair (or "tappin' that") with Barbara Windsor, the effervescent coquette usually found in a state of denouement as illustrated in the YouTube clip below:



Barbara was married to a gangster, Ronnie Knight, at the time, a real badass- who after a while had had enough and buried an axe in Sid's floor.
Way to send a message, Ronnie!


Ronnie and Babs

The question is: What was her motivation? Did her undercarriage crave hidden smoky aged baccala? Was she losing her sight, as well as sense of touch? Was Ronnie refusing to bury his axe in her floor, if you catch my drift?

Or are the British just sometimes insane, (let's face it - we Americans are) like the time Ian Fleming claimed Sid was his #1 choice to play James Bond:
"The screen test, included as an extra on the forthcoming DVD box-set of Bless This House, shows James brandishing a Walther PPK as he confronts the film's villain at the movie's climax. Apparently due to budgetary constraints, the other characters in the scene are played by James's regular Carry On co-stars. Barbara Windsor is Honey Ryder, a role that would eventually be taken by Ursula Andress. Kenneth Williams cameos as M, while Charles Hawtrey brings a silky menace to the character of Dr No."

Not kidding- Sid James as James Bond - full article here

So, uh, since I don't know where to go with this, go watch Carry On Camping, and revel in it's idiocy while reminding yourself it was the highest grossing film in the UK that year.

I will leave you with the Smiths album cover that infuriated Morrisey and Marr, but features Charles Hawtrey, who played Mr Muggins:


ooh! OOH! but now I don't want to stop, because I have a theory that J.K. Rowling saw this film as a youth, and got the name "Harry Potter" and the word "Muggle" from a scene in it where Mr. Muggins insinuates himself into the Potters tent and the introductions Go something like:
"I'm Harriet Potter and this is my husband Peter"
"Pleased to meet you I'm Mr. Muggins"
combining that with the fact that Hawtrey ( a raging drunk in real life, by the way) is Harry Potter-esque in his appearance.
Burned into her unconscious as a Dickensian situational semantic tool, no? If it happened.

So now I'll close with: J.K. baby! Get in touch and confirm/deny! Yeah!
