Everything is terrible and the world is on fire, but a friend of mine who thinks Coldplay are good has just told me he's discovered Bon Scott and AC/DC and this song. There is hope, my friends.

Today would've been my fantastic Mum's 80th birthday. She was one of the first, and longest surviving, kidney transplant patients in the UK.
Without organ donation, she wouldn't've lived and I wouldn't even exist, so if you can, and feel able to, please register at: www.organdonation.nhs.uk

Greatest teenage anthem of all time. No, don't bother disagreeing, I'm right.
It slags off politicians AND opticians, for flip's sake.

To all utility suppliers, insurance companies & vendors of goods I'm forced to pay money for.
When I have to phone you, my name is Mr. Doree, not Pete or Peter.
I won't be putting you up in the spare room after a night in the pub with me.
We're not going to be meeting up later.
We ain't pals.

Harvey Kurtzman was once called 'The Grandfather of Undergound comics' and he responded by asking for a blood test.
The makers of Airplane & The Naked Gun also owe him a cheque BTW. What are they but Kurtzman & Elder's MAD in movie form?

Unless of course, you're Alex Nino, who once did a 16 page strip for Warren consisting of double page spreads that, if you bought 16 copies of the same comic, made one entire picture.
And trust me.

Current re-reading: John Jakes' late '60's Conan pastiche Brak The Barbarian, who had a blink-and-miss-it comic career in the Bronze Age.
Actually quite good, with the odd interesting edge ( in this fantasy world, Christianity sort of exists ).
Love these covers too, which in no way look like Brak.

Thanks to @jonnycannon.bsky.social of this parish, who clarified that Kubert was an assistant to Mort Meskin, who was also a big inspiration for Ditko! Makes total sense 👍
On Joe Kubert's birthday: I always liked how you can sometimes see Ditko in his style, and sometimes Kubert's in Ditko's, and how if you mix them, you sort of get Moebius.

Well people look and people stare
Well I don't think that I even care
You work your life away and what do they give
You're only killing yourself to live
Look around you what do you see
Pain suffering and misery
It's not the way that the world was planned
It's a pity you don't understand
Well I don't think that I even care
You work your life away and what do they give
You're only killing yourself to live
Look around you what do you see
Pain suffering and misery
It's not the way that the world was planned
It's a pity you don't understand
Quote a line from a song:
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown
The dream is gone
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown
The dream is gone
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name
But what's puzzling you is the
nature of my game

RIP Robert Redford. I remember at school, every last day of term before the summer holidays, the teachers put on Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid as a special treat. Laughable that people today who've barely started their careers are described as legends next to giants like him.

Been re-listening to a lot of the late great Ronnie James Dio. Here he is with Rainbow, all great of course. But equally, fast forward to 11:16 where Ronnie riffs & shows why he was one of the greatest singers we ever had, in any genre.
No auto-tune, genuine talent.

Always remember: a bunch of American Nazi sympathizers showed up at his workplace to "have a word" with Kirby about his anti-Nazi art (Captain America). Kirby went to confront them (beat the shit out of them). They had run away by the time he reached the sidewalk.
