The touristy picture par excellence. But it is where we live.

Winter 2005.

Worst year of my life. Arafat Kazi and the girl who worked at the Fluevog store in Boston.

I feel your fist and I know it’s out of love
July 2nd, 2008  –  by Jarett Kobek

A killer example of late 70s/early 80s comic art– courtesy of an unsung journeymen, the great Walt Simonson.

I often find that my tastes in 20th Century mass culture run not to The Stewards & The Highly Acclaimed, but rather the work-a-day dudes who were just churning it out, sometimes getting it right, sometimes not-so-right and sometimes killing that shit.

Simonson– and maybe someone like Herb Trimpe– is best understood as a comics analogue to directors like the profoundly underrated Don Siegel (is there any better American film from the 1970s than Dirty Harry?) or Robert Wise or even home-team favorite Robert Aldrich.

(Future Foreshadowing for the Stans: Aldrich’s Kiss Me Deadly basically ruined my life.)

Huzzah.

“it’s a to zed and back again, like this river on which we waddle,”
said Pooh to Piglet, his dangling paw stroking against the lapping water.

Front image of The Berkeley Barb, Volume 3, Number 21, Issue 119, 1966. Taken from Free Press: Underground and Alternative Publications, 1965-1975, edited by Jean-Francois Bizot.

Note the date. Possibly the last time that any underground freak would draw Gandalf without the SF Family Dog/Fillmore poster influence. A real relic.
