Blogroll Amnesty Day

UPDATED WITH LINKAGE:

Blckdgrd is always generous with the links, and always manages to dig up you might have missed, including, but not limited to politics, music, poetry, novels, and professional soccer.

The name of this blog may be meaningless, but Ethan offers up some thoughtful critiques of "liberals".

Freida Bee is Redneck Punkrockery of the highest order. Just another blog that's been taken over by corduroy, Hooters™, Hall and Oates, incessant complaining, lesbian tendencies, and other typical stuff.

My friend Megan Freeman writes great poetry!

Physio Prof!

Urantian Sojourn!

Coffee Messiah!


In the middle of drawing this, I had a deja vu about the cartoon. Did somebody else do an image similar to this in past years?

I really should have done this before I went outside to shovel snow for 4 hours, but I'm a procrastinator.The day before the storm I was putting out some old pumpkin seeds for the birds. We ordinarily get a lot of cardinals, a few blue jays, a couple of different kinds of woodpeckers, and the assorted small birds (sparrows, juncos, etc). The storm welled up from the south, and we had a bunch of birds show up that I don't usually see in winter; a couple of wrens, cedar waxwings, a flock of starlings, and a flock of robins.

Where does the time go? Blogroll Amnesty Day already? Feel free to use this cartoon if you want to. If I'm on your blogroll, and you are not on mine, drop a link in the comments, and I'll get you added.

We are missing Jon Swift this year.

I'm also missing my old buddy Nate Solod.

When The Revolution Comes

When the revolution comes
When the revolution comes
When the revolution comes
some of us will probably catch it on TV,
with chicken hanging from our mouths.
You'll know its revolution
cause there won't be no commercials

Now you know...

"How are we to avoid those in office becoming deeply corrupt when everything is devoid of meaning? That is impossible, not even the highest judge would be able to achieve that for himself. That is why policemen try to steal the clothes off the back of those they arrest, that is why supervisors break into the homes of people they do not know, that is why innocent people are humiliated in front of crowds rather than being given a proper trial."

I need some encouragement, though...

Accidently Like A Martyr

One thing sets the synapse firing on odd numbers of cylinders. Woodrow Wilson's guns are still echoing through the canyons of Bristol Palin's Bad Luck Streak in Dancing With The Stars. I saw a production of Accidental Death of an Anarchist in Chicago sometime in the early 90s.

Paging Bob Roberts! Sing the Hockey Mom Song! There's always room on our team for a goon!

Jobless Recovery

Fred Thompson has a new job selling aluminum siding reverse mortgages. I'd like to suggest a new job for Sarah Palin.

Moment of Silence for Pigmeat Markham

Nude Descending an Escalator on Horseback, 1986 watercolor, after Marcel Duchamp


Stories have been told and retold through out history. Some stories are so old, we don't know who wrote them. Retelling someone else's stories is a time honored tradition across all sorts of media. Cream retold Robert Johnson's Crossroads. Maybe it's Robert Johnson's story, maybe it's something he heard from someone else, I don't know. Lynyrd Skynyrd retold Cream's retelling of Robert Johnson's Crossroads, and so on.




The movie makers do it all the time with writers like Shakespeare and Dickens. How many different versions of A Christmas Carol have you seen? Mr Magoo's Christmas Carol, Bill Murray's Scrooged, George C Scott, Henry Winkler!

I've been known to retell a story or two myself.























So, if you want to change a bunch of words in Huck Finn, (go to the 9 minute mark for the HF segment) go right ahead. Just don't call it Huck Finn by Mark Twain.

And now, join me in a Moment of Silence for Pigmeat Markham. Hat tip to BDR for the link way back when.

Zappadan Comix Book Cover

The New Congress wants to welcome you.

My friend Fred and I have a New Year's tradition, offering up predictions for the new year. I've been predicting Fidel Castro's death for 20 years, and the tough old bird just won't die, so I'm leaving him off the list this year. So, here are my predictions for 2011.

1. Spambots become self aware and begin composing haikus.

2. Condi Rice plays the piano in Moscow for Vladimir Putin, and returns home with a Russian microchip under her skin.

3. George W. Bush vomits in public.

4. Rahm Emmanuel gets arrested for domestic violence 2 months after Opening Day at Wrigley field.

5. Joe Biden is videotaped saying the word "fuck" on the floor of the Senate.

6. John Travolta dies in a plane crash.

7. Hurricane Hilda destroys what's left of New Orleans on the anniversary of the nuclear bomb drop on Nagasaki.

8. Oprah decides to run for mayor of Chicago.

9. Michael Vick is kidnapped by PETA and held for a 15 million dollar ransom.

10. Orrin Hatch's secret gay lover is executed in Bryce Canyon after he threatens to go public, but the death is made to look like an accident.


BDR posted some videos of Chris Elliott's "Guy Under The Seats" routine from Letterman. I always liked Chris Elliott's Conspiracy Guy routine, partly because I'm somewhat of a conspiracy guy myself. For example, this Bird and fish kill was probably the military, field testing one of their new microwave or sonic weapons.

Drink Me

I'm putting the Zappadan comix into a book and I'm working on a wrap-around image for the cover. There are currently 26 pages of story. I'll add a couple of bonus never before seen pages. Add the front, back, inside front cover, and inside back cover for a total of 32 pages of art, 8.5 x 11 inches.

I'm going to have this one printed up myself, instead of going the Cafepress route. I'll have more details after talking to the printer.

UPDATE: by way of Frank Swart, Don Was on liner notes.

Zappadan Comix 2010 Grand Wazoo Finale

A day late and a dollar short at the end of Zappadan is par for the course here at Zencomix, but that's OK. It's all fun and games until someone loses a pie.
