Here we have an original color sketch idea for Mark Pingatore’s “Horrorible Kids” trading card series, and David Gross’s concept sketch for a 2014 Garbage Pail Kids TV-themed set, “Prime Time Slime,” mocking Inside Amy Schumer (whom I think is really funny)!

This is a 1973 piece painted by John Pound for a magazine cover (actually a reprinting of a Bram Stoker short story) — and was gifted to me by someone who said he found it at a garage sale in Montana. He knew I loved Mr. Pound’s cartoon work, so he had this shipped to me several years back.

Having survived about a thousand moves, and hanging on walls within five different time zones, this is probably one of my favorite original pieces that I own!
I have this by Vermont artist James Kochalka, a big John Pound oil painting, and a sketch each by David Gross and Mark Pingatore!

On account of his 100th birthday, the Dick Van Dyke Show is playing instead of my Full House episodes.
Oh well.
Happy birthday, Mr. Van Dyke… and Happy Caturday to everyone else!

John O’Hurley!! Actually a very generous man. He’s taken his income and successfully invested it, so that he could donate a lot of his own cash to animal welfare funds. 💕
I know someone who once worked as his personal assistant, and she still loves the guy!

In 1949, the Mr. Magoo character was created.
Six years later, this album was released.
This is a terrible record.

Westinghouse Presents “Perspective For The 70s,” some kind of marketing musical LP. It’s chintzy but catchy. I can’t see myself getting rid of this!
