Another old Cambridge street watercolour, done sitting on the low wall at the front of St John's. This is Bridge Street with autumn coming on. Someone wearing a gown is cycing along. Sold a while ago and scanned from a film photo of the original.

The Nobel Peace Prize becoming so prestigious that wars are fought over a head of state coveting it is some real monkey paw stuff for Alfred Nobel.

Yesterday, we mentioned the Sunday debut of "Friday Foster.” Other strips (perhaps most notably, “Torchy Brown” by Jackie Ormes) starred a Black woman, but they ran in the Black press and didn’t have much mainstream visibility. Here are the first “Friday Foster” dailies (from January 19-22, 1970).

Speaking of terrible costumes I love, here's a trio of them that I absolutely adore. Part of me wishes they still wore these.

Speaking of interesting covers, they'd kinda went for it (and went weird) with this 1950's Berkeley edition of The Torture Garden. (I approve)
