Seriously! I’m amazed and happy to know this. Totally anecdotal and not scientific, but comics artists and cartoonists seem to live a long, long time. Possibly because of a placid life at the drawing board, but I think I guess I get that impression because in the classic 20th c. era, they started very young, as…

Especially his 70s strips where his attractive teenaged daughter says “Bye Dad” as she goes out on dates and you can just sense his longing disguised as fatherly concern about her going out with shaggy 70s boys.

It’s amazing. As a kid I disliked the paper Cracked as an inferior MAD ripoff. But in the internet era, Cracked had a surprisingly great run , really topical and informative stuff unrelated to trying to be necessarily funny. I’m recalling one young guy writing about growing up on food stamps with a brother and a…

A person should vote for the very best candidate available regardless of ideology or history when the time to put the ballot in the box comes. Period. 

Very weird exchange with I think Heidi Heitkamp’s brother on Ari Melber’s MSNBC show Thursday evening. It was cordial, but at the end the Heitkamp brother went on a sort of mini-spiel that MSNBC didn’t have enough people from North Dakota on the network, and he seemed to find this “problematic” and a sort of…

I’m sure it fits into the QAnon message some way. He’s telling his followers #TheStorm is coming with that gentle Bounty tissue! He will WIPE his SHIT enemies off the face of the Earth!! Read the signs, sheeple.

I like and admire Jane Fonda a lot. HBO’s Jane Fonda In Five Acts is a worthy watch. An amazing late- 20th century life. I can see how she got up people’s noses, and under their skin. Because she was passionate about what she believed in, and tried to live by those ideals. Very hard slog, so when she married a bill…

Wow, so you’re resorting to falsehoods? I never called you a “stupid prick” because that word is not in my vocabulary. You’re straght-up lying. That quote is not anything I ever wrote. My post is right up there, for everyone to see, and that’s nothing close to what I actually wrote.

SeveralMoons45, you are so negative and nasty and unwilling to calmly talk, it’s a joy to dismiss you and forget you forever. You had a chance for civil discussion with me, sorry your vitriol made that impossible. Best to you and your anger issues. No, you won’t take them out on me.

I’m not mad, I am feeling calm and gentle, and observing you thrashing about and projecting massive hostility and negativity. And, I feel sorry for you and where you are in your life that you projected such hate and negativity at me . It’s okay, I let it go. I’m sorry if you’re an angry person. And I’m sorry if…

This movie apparently had about twenty red carpet premieres around the world, so I’m happy it’s out, because I’m exhausted.

You know what’s really fun, since you decided to be maximum cunt to me? Dismissing all your nasty rotten shit that you clearly took pains to arrange and format and write, and they’re gone into the ether, dust.

Lovely unhinged shrieking person Potterpoet replied to me:

I hear that, and I have tremendous sympathy for latter-day Orson Welles. A lot. I just can’t shake the feeling that lonely old Orson, fat and unloved in los Angeles in the 7os. was a sitting duck for an opportunist like Bogdanovich. What does “personal friend” mean here? Orson probably needed company and…

I didn’t even read your bullshit after “Senor Pedanto”, you’re the stupid prick who went all in with thinking SNL broadcast Kanye’s stupid rant. Proud of being a wrong fucking idiot.

Naw, gay liberal Dem voter here, first generation American and happy about that. Saying I don’t care about what a network TV show does or matters when they have a loon like Kanye on doesn’t make me a Libertarian, which is another way of saying “selfish asshole”. I’m not that at all, but maybe it’s kind of dick of…

Fan- fucking -tastic. * Yes, you do have a hundred other things. Hope you ventured to parks and beaches with friends to make memories. Bet you did. Or just, the sunlight at dusk, the smell of a eucalyptus tree, tye way that people there are traditionally friendly. Unlike the dicks and crunts I have to deal with at…

Cool, I personally choose to live my life not stressing about who SNL should or should not book to perform, because I have no power over that at all, to vastly fucking understate. I am certain that SNL has received significant blowback from Kanye being a ranting asshole after the broadcast ended. But again, what are…

Hey Yummsh, thanks for your story and memories too. You’re awesome. I appreciate your million memories of SF, just like, the sunsets and the fog, oh god I loved the fog! And the used bookstores and the cinemas, and checking out all the different neighborhoods. I had a yen for all the Chinese groceries on Clement St…

Buster Keaton was so brilliant, but Harold Lloyd’s best bits give me nightmares. I was a city kid on a high floor apartment, and his climbing of buildings are literally illustrations of my nightmares. Where I dream I’m climbing a tall building like he is, but halfway up I get scared and want to go down. But I…
