Back to the plugged-in WORLD OF THE FUTURE after a long work week full of, well, working. New STUPID COMICS is a 1940 science-fiction version of "Boys Town", I think, minus Spencer Tracy and plus spies, cosmotocars, electric-ray zippers and Radio Hats!



This is one of those weird strips that drops you into a crazy world right from the start - this is from TARGET COMICS #1, 1940 - and just assumes you'll go along for the ride. Also it really looks like UG comics legend Justin Green's artwork, even though that's impossible. Check it out man.

LJ has been down a lot, and my suspicion is that it's because LJ is one of the epicenters around the new wave of Russian protest, and as such I don't feel so bad about suffering outages if it helps the Russians kick the authoritarian habit. Anyway I am on the Twitter as "terebifunhouse" and on the Google Plus and on the Facebook and there's the emails and the Let's Anime blog and there's also this which I post in occasionally and would likely be the replacement for this LJ if and when LJ ever goes away completely. So it's not like you can't find me.

Right now Caribana is happening this weekend right all around us, the neighborhood is fulla people, the Lamport Stadium is full of floats, Lakeshore is going to be full of parade tomorrow. We'll be down at CON BRAVO in Burlington doing the Mister Kitty's Stupid Comics Live Show! http://conbravo.com/ That's Sunday. Monday is the civic holiday, Tuesday I think we're going to try to go to the beach somewhere.

Tonight I don't know what we're going to do, but it's going to involve dinner of some kind.

We did get to see CAPTAIN AMERICA last Tuesday and I enjoyed it. About as good as these things get, which I know isn't saying much as the bar is so low, but I liked it fine and I'm picky about movies that involve Jim Steranko's HYDRA logo.
