Basil Wolverton

When I saw this panel by Basil Wolverton, I immediately thought about Robert Crumb.

People either hate or love Wolverton's art. To see a couple of stories by him click over to Cartoon Snap.

Space Mouse: Woody Woodpecker #75

Space Mouse searches for intelligent creatures on other planets in his galaxy in the story The Brainy Season, Woody Woodpecker #75, March 1963.

Nick Cardy R.I.P.

I just opened up the computer, I was working in the garden today, to discover that Nick Cardy has passed away. He was alway such a solid artist on the books I remember him from, like Aquaman, Teen Titans, Bat Lash and many of D.C.'s mystery books.

I am beginning to understand how my parents felt when their favorites from popular culture began passing away. Many of the artists I admired and looked forward to seeing their art have not been active for a long while but knowing that there isn't any chance of seeing new work from them is sad.

Thankfully, we can see a lot of what they produced and keep the good memories from the enjoyment they were responsible for bring us.

Happy Halloween

I wish all a HAPPY HALLOWEEN and thanks for stopping by this season.

I can't resist adding a couple of Wolf Man images.

Smiling Werewolf

I had some free time a few days ago  and drew this smiley werewolf head.

The Werewolf Principle by Clifford Simak

 One of my all time favorite science fiction stories is Clifford Simak's The Big Front Yard. I haven't re-read it in a long time; but I may look for Simak's The Werewolf Principle first.

The Werewolf Principle (1967) An astronaut returns to Earth with two different creatures trapped inside him, so in times of stress morphs into either a "werewolf" or an impregnable pyramid.
