Jay Thurber Show
@jaythurber.bsky.social
The static-filled voice of the oldies, 12-3 pm Saturdays WRCT & Tube City Online Radio #McKeesport. Also W3MCK on #hamradio.

Cartoonist for Print #Pittsburgh, formerly @ CQ Mag. Union proud since 2000.

My opinions only, not anyone else's.
Wow. So again, that's what you got from that? I was advocating for people to be nicer ... to a disease?

I gotta say, I love the mute button.

It was me. I just bought another Zenith Trans-Oceanic on eBay instead of dropping a grand for an iPhone.

OK, nerds. From the @uaw.org's Facebook page. Do you think you can identify all 14 cars? I hate to brag, but I got 14/14.

(I also didn't have a girlfriend in high school, does it show?)

Here, in one of the poorest communities in PA, a free library card gets you access to 135,000 book titles, free movies and TV shows, and almost every magazine currently in print.

As an author, if you're stealing my content, you're just being a jagoff.

After 33 years online, I should be used to my work being stolen, but I just looked, and one of my books is up there, too. Unfuckingreal.

I've reached the stage of early middle-age where I'm dreaming about cars I used to own. Is that normal? The one that turns up most often is the '89 Mercury I bought when I graduated from college and needed a reliable car in a hurry. I loved that beast.

(This isn't mine, but it looked just like it.)

Go home Google, you're drunk.

How did Google search results get this shitty so fast?

Yes, I'm live (or what passes for it) and looking very natural from now until 3 p.m. Eastern U.S. time on www.wrct.org WRCT 88.3 FM #Pittsburgh and www.tubecityonline.com/radio #McKeesport

More like "Wicked: For Great!" Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande are off to see the Oscars, and Tinseltown will be turning green with envy when it's real gold on that road to box-office boffo!

Here's Pen Avenue, my cartoon for Print, Pittsburgh's East End newspaper, with a nod to two great cartoonists, Cy Hungerford and Herblock:

I've tried to give Keith O. a pass over the years because he loves James Thurber (from whom I stole my DJ name) and Bob & Ray (my comedy idols) but great sufferin' catfish, he makes it hard to like him.
