I'm a recluse.
Not obsessively. But I'm not very social. I don't like to go out.

Arma Virumque
My recent post, Jesus Armed and Dangerous, has generated both
comments and theological dissertation.
Always on the lookout for new ways to milk the gullible
philosophical commenter, I located more fodder for this fight. I
found another locked and loaded Jesus drawing.
I'm posting "Arma Virumque", an… Read full post »
Bible passages about Jesus Christ are inscribed on high-powered rifle sights used by the United States military. One of the citations refers to Second Corinthians 4:6, which reads "For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge… Read full post »
Carnage
--Georges Braque
In 1980 Grass Green was interviewing me for the Comics Journal. He stopped by my office at Playboy magazine for the Q and A. I rambled on into his tape recorder for an hour or two. Weary of pontificating, I/…
In 1971 I had made a habit of visiting the Earl of Old Town once
a week. The Earl was a folk music venue. The proprietor -- and
bartender -- was the slightly deranged yet lovable Earl J.J.
Pionke.
Chicago was a bit of a hotbed of folk acts… Read full post »
Fuck Obama. Fuck Bush/Cheney. Fuck the Clintons. And don't forget congress and the banksters while you're at it. All of the evil hand-puppets who steal our money and murder our children.

disappointment and neglect
and back again." --Marc Furstenberg
Since my divorce I had been tossed back into the mill and ground
into fodder to feed my own biological appetite. There were burning
women with fiery artistic notions, and icy/… Read full post »
"This is absurd. This is absurd".

My daughter, Rita, made breakfast for the Real Housewives of
Atlanta this week.
Rita is a chef. She works for Opera, an opulent Atlanta nightspot
that caters to beautiful people willing to tolerate -- and pay high
dollar for -- the/… Read full post »
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire...

When I was a kid preeminent writers, poets and notable celebrities were entertained in my home. Beguiling and legendary characters like John Ciardi,/…
There are those on Open Salon who jealously guard the written
word. Not surprising considering that this territory was
settled, fenced off and farmed by writers.
Cartoons can be a powerful medium. Boss Tweed said about
Thomas Nast "Stop them damn pictures. I don't care what the papers
writ… Read full post »
Funny Side Up
In 2002 I was flying into Portland, Oregon, for a show.
For me the Great Northwest was an alternate universe populated by
pale indigenous forest children. Their knit caps pulled low even
though it was May. Clothed in surplus army khaki, faded denim, worn
plaid flannel, hooded sweatshirts and hemp,… Read full post »
There was an excitement in Canton, Missouri, when the
Mississippi reached flood stage.
The river would rampage nearly every year. Sometimes it simply
crept across Highway 61 north and south of town and then began to
recede. But other times it was more angry and bent on
destruction.… Read full post »
My friend, Suzy the Floozie, would bring me bags of toys. 50 gallon Hefty bags filled with Happy Meal toys, tiny spacemen and alien creatures, Disney tchotchke, gaudy trinkets and horrific gee-gaws, gllttery beads and king- cake babies, little army men and cowboys and Indians and batgirls, small jac… Read full post »

Because I was the young, hip guy in the Playboy art department, I'd get the young hip assignments. For instance, I'd work monthly with editor, Kate Nolan, producing whatever the/…

The night I met Francy I went home with her. We didn't leave the bed for a week. She had been dating a science fiction writer, but he'd been atomized. The hot avaricious/…
Playbore
-- Edward Abbey
Playboy has always been a target of parody. In fact
Playboy liked to consider itself a advocate of the art of
parody and satire. But the truth was that Playboy magazine
was fairly thin-skinned when it/… Read full post »
Slice of Life
The vicissitudes of domesticity.
Originally published in the National Lampoon, vol. 1, no. 64,
1975.
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of pas/… Read full post »
