report from the warren commission on comic book assassinations

This week's Stupid Comics is all about how you can change your face but you can't change your fate! It's also all about how DC introduces a character in 1963 and then forgets all about him until they re-introduce him in 1972 and pretend that 1963 didn't happen. I guess we've all had years like that.



Then get in your car and drive to Orlando to listen to some Disney World music! Or just click this link. It's got pirates and Presidents and a Moog synthesizer pretending to be Mickey and Goofy riding on an electrical train.



And until Sunday that's your Mister Kitty for the week!!

the aliens are coming

I got to thinking. I got to thinking about a terrible alien invasion film that CB had taped off TV back when he was in high school and was taping crazy late night TV for late amusement.

The only part of the film I can recall stars, among other people, Max Gail, whom you will recall played Det. Stan 'Wojo' Wojciehowicz on "Barney Miller". Gail plays a husband who is either mentally controlled by the aliens or is replaced with an alien duplicate, and he begins to act strangely, as one would expect, and when questioned by his wife as to why he's up in the middle of the night, he replies in a monotone, "Everything is fine; go back to bed."

For some reason that struck us as really funny, a painfully obvious way to let somebody know that everything is in fact NOT fine is to stand around the kitchen at 3:00am staring glassy-eyed and robotically repeating "Everything is fine."

Anyway for some reason I was thinking of this film, and figured I'd look it up. And here it is.

Apparently it was a pilot for a Quinn Martin TV series that was never picked up, and that a working title for the project was "The New Invaders", which if you remember the 1967 show about Roy Thinnes tracking down aliens who can't bend their pinkies, means this was a sequel or a remake or something. Minus Larry Cohen, I can't see "The Aliens Are Coming" having anywhere near the impact of "The Invaders".

And that's the story of "The Aliens Are Coming"!
