Description

Not taking it or anything, honest!

Drew this at home after my first day back to work It was an uncomfortable exhausting day, so now these elf fellas have to face some peril.  

Still reading Joe Bob Briggs "Joe Bob Goes to the Drive-In", H. Bedford Jones' "The House of Skulls", and Lin Carter's "Thongor of Lemuria"

My big guy is Frank Lloyd.  I really like the Prairie school.  Falling Water is wild but I would not want it as my primary residence.  I greatly admire Japanese simplicity and design re. castles and such.  Frankly, and here I show my goth roots, I think the Winchester house is something else!  Above all I like Jack London's Wolf house, what a shame about that.  jacklondonpark.com/wolf-house/

I have been to that house a couple of times! It is

so cool! Hehe you've seen my art, so you know I love buildings

and setting and such. I enjoy Brutalism, and some of the experimental

60s stuff like Archigram and Archizoom. For mainstream architecture,

I love that wild 1890s and 1900s stuff, like the original Waldorf

All that effort and work for such a short time to be standing!  Looks like a Winsor McCay drawing, or one of yours.

 Right? I don't think they should ever have changed it, the

newer one is an eyesore by comparison. Ah, how I love McCay!

I love McCay too but finding pristine Little Nemo strips or Rarebit Fiend is hard.  All the repros I grew up with had muddy plates, and his speech balloons are hard to read anyway and in dialect.  Now I see a lot better stuff out there.  Did you see the Antiques Roadshow where the guy found all the original McCay's in a shed, and the owners let him have them.  Too much!

 I have those Checker collections of Little Nemo and I

am pleased as punch with them! I like the comic reprints

that feel organic, where you can see variance in ink

saturation and such, as opposed to those ones where they

oversaturate the colors and you're blinded by dark blacks

and horrible electric blues.

Precisely the problem with our Nemo books, overwhelmed by blue, not easy to read anyway.

 I keep a magnifying glass on hand at all times I keep looking for a font that approximates McCay's writing in the talk bubbles

Why, is it identifiable?  The early Felix the Cats were proven to have really been the work of Pat Sullivan by his handwriting.  There was some doubt.

It's weird with those various properties where

the author is in question.

Sounds like standard literary sleuthing.

 You see it quite a bit with those dime novels and penny dreadfuls

I'm always digging for

I imagine so.  A plethora of possible writers.

And on some of the later stuff, you get series written

under house names with changing authors.

Kenneth Robeson was one of those.  Seems like it was a common practice.  I could see how that could cause trouble.  Dickens early newspaper career is like that since he got no credit.

Oh yes, I've tried a couple of Doc Savages and read

Lester Dent's zeppelin stories. Dickens! On that subject,

I just got a penny dreadful by Thomas Peckett Prest, who

made his career with parodies of Dickens, right down to

aping his pen-name of that time. Dickens once complained

to a British publisher that their series had ripped off one of

his works and the publisher said they'd got the idea by

ripping off an American serial.

So I have to be careful when buying a "Bos" publication?  I have a true crime/sociology book entitled The Italian Boy, about the activities of men who supplied cadavers for medical schools.  A more horrific life than poor urban London would be unimaginable.  Dickens covered the trial of the 3 convicted of killing a poor friendless orphan and selling his body, but his name is nowhere on the articles.  Elements of that trial pop up in some of his later books.

Prest-  Many Dickens parodies.  Co-author, Varney and Sweeney Todd.  Dead at 49, doesn't look a day over 83.  Talented musician.

Well, I think Prest went with "Boz", to be just close

enough. Say, didn't that get turned into "The Flesh and The

Fiends" or something like that, with Donald Pleasance as

one of the body-snatchers / body-makers?

Yes! I had Varney already The new one is:

"Vileroy, or The Horrors of Zindorf Castle"
