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?

Such a Cool post - I'm Nauseous and Reposting Here
Jet Harris was possibly the first person in Britain to own an electric bass guitar, and certainly the first to play one in a band. His original instrument was a Framus Star bass imported by Besson & Co from West Germany.
In September 1963, a chauffeur-driven limousine in which Jet was travelling with his girlfriend Billie Davis, was in collision with a Midland Red bus as they travelled back from one of Billie's shows in Evesham. The bus was written off in the accident and it was almost fatal for Jet too. Billie, who suffered a broken jaw in the accident, pulled the unconscious Jet from the wreckage of their car. He suffered serious head injuries requiring 34 stitches in the wound.
When the court case from the car crash was finally settled, in December 1966, Mr Justice Donaldson recognised that while Jet "was no Beatle and possibly no Cliff Richard, he was nevertheless at the top of his profession". Jet was awarded compensation of £11,150 - not much by today's standards but a not inconsiderable sum in 1966.
Watch the smoke:
