I'm not sure if I have shared this link before, so here it comes anyway. Here's a fascinating documentary from 1965 about the abandoned 1937 film "I, Claudius" starring Charles Laughton and hosted by Dirk Bogarde

Browsing through my Internet Archive page, I think I'll point to Elton and Betty White today, as they are always happy and hilarious:

I just found an image of this delightful "1927" vintage card captioned with the name of my radio show. The caption was originally on the bottom, but was cropped in half in the only image of this I could find, so I added it back on at the top. I collect old holiday cards anyway, so nice to see this.

I got a good response to a Metamorpho post, so here's another Panel-by-Panel study of the second issue of his own book (at the link):

I started recording my 500th consecutive radio show today (it's Martin Denny again), to be broadcast next year. The latest batch of new shows in the high 490s have all been about revisiting favorite artists, and a particularly good batch they are too!

I recently found this large coffee table book about the great Ron Cobb, and I'm glad that it prompted me to re-acquire a wonderful 1970 collection of his cartoon work that I used to own as a kid and really enjoyed. I lucked out and got a really clean and pristine copy of "Raw Sewage". Legendary.

I have concluded that no matter how much we collectively appreciate Orson Welles throughout the whole of history, we’re underselling him.

Here comes another chance to sing along to "Stoned Innocent Frankenstein" and other trendy pop hits with Daevid-pal. This fine episode gets an encore tonight, Wednesday the 12th at 10 pm ETZ on that spectacularly special radio station wARTfm.org, and heard VERY locally at 95.5 FM.
