From the LIFE archives, here's Jack Benny and
a few close personal friends. I recognize Van Johnson
and Paul Douglas along with Dennis Day, Mel Blanc , Mary Livingstone, Phil Harris and Don Wilson. Might be the Sportsmen Quartet in there, too, and maybe Phil's band (which wasn't really Phil's ...

Ms. Lisa Mynx (of the currently dormant but
still interesting blog that can be found at http://lisa-mynx.blogspot.com/
)is the one who nicknamed my high-falutin' but often ineffectual PC "the batcomputer." She is also the one who took this image of my old coloring book from my blog and gave ...

You may have heard about this but I'm
betting most have not seen it--the Thomas Edison backed
1910 version of FRANKENSTEIN starring one Charles Ogle as the Monster. For nearly a century it was believed that only a couple of stills had survived and the main one, although intriguing to horror ...

Sheldon Mayer's SCRIBBLY the boy cartoonist actually pre-dated
National (DC) by appearing in various Dell comics. Here's
a strip from a 1937 issue of THE FUNNIES in which OTR fan Scribbly (back when it was brand new !)unwittingly meets young singers Deanna Durbin and Bobby Breen, both of whom ...

OK, a man's gotta know when he's beaten.
I officially retire from this year's NaNoWriMo. Sigh. Those
toothache days put me so far behind and I just kept getting left further back. My friend Dee is doing it and she posted on Facebook last night that she's nearing 30,000 words...more than three ...

Outside of the UK, unless you're an Anglophile
(like me) I'd be willing to bet that you've
never heard of JANE. If you're an American comics buff of a certain age, I'd also be willing to bet that you first heard of JANE in THE PENGUIN BOOK OF COMICS (which, although it came out around the ...

I am neither a big fan of nor
all that familiar with KRAZY KAT, the cult favorite
surrealist comic strip from the early years of the last century. There's a nice book by Patrick (MUTTS) McDonnell from a couple of decades back and my ITCH-y mentor Craig Yoe has a KRAZY KAT book he's finishing ...

I forget where I found this so apologies
are owed to someone but here's a stylish 1960's
cover for Steve Ditko's second run on CAPTAIN ATOM that for some reason went unpublished at the time. With new Ditko books from Craig Yoe, Blake Bell and Mr. Ditko himself, it's a good time to be a Steve ...

Here's the story of EC comics capsulized and
leading up to Bill Gaines receiving a much deserved
award from the Horror Hall of Fame for the classic 1950's line.

We all thought the world of Raquel Welch
during our formative years but I look at her
often now and wonder why (other than the obvious hormonal issues). Her delivery was often terrible and on talk show appearances her breathy attempts at serious topics showed her to be not the smartest sex ...

LITTLE LULU is yet another of those "childish"
comics I avoided in my adolescence that I've come
to appreciate over time. Been reading a lot of them lately (by the great John Stanley!) Here's an odd mix of classic and modern in one of Lulu's 1990's HBO appearances.

I just joined a Yahoo group devoted to
the classic comic strip character BARNEY GOOGLE and I'm
being inundated by emails featuring scans of wonderful daily and Sunday strips! This is NOT one of those dormant groups that's for sure! Here's one of the SNUFFY SMITH TV cartoons from the early ...

Orson Bean asks "What's a 'Ray Bradbury?' One
of the two--both terrible--fake Genes says he was "an
early producer of the show." When asked, "What else is Leonard Nimoy known for?", I'm not certain if they were expecting the answer that he sings or does photography or writes poetry but what ...

THE HOUSE ON SKULL MOUNTAIN from 1974 was
just about the most generic horror film of its
day. If not for the African-American angle, there would be absolutely nothing to distinguish it from dozens of grade B and lower potboiler melodramas from the 1940's through the 1950's. There's a creepy ...
