come on along
Nov. 25th, 2017 09:15 amlast week David Cassidy, aka Keith Partridge from the TV show The Partridge Family, passed away. Now I know it's fashionable to sneer at The Partridge Family and the early 70s bubblegum-teeny bopper Teen Beat scene, and yeah a lot of that music is awful, but firstly that Teen Beat scene is something that kids and specifically girls loved, so of course grown-adult rock critics are going to sneer at it, and secondly I have some Partridge Family LPs and there are some good songs on those LPs. Cassidy came from a show biz family and was determined to become an entertainer and become an entertainer he did, and if his his life had some struggles and some problems, well, check out the life of costar Danny Bonaduce sometime and get back with me, after you sign the pledge to never let your kids be actors.
Anyway, as we do, we marked his passing with an issue of a Partridge Family Stupid Comic. The art's great except when there aren't any photos to reference, and the story makes not one lick of sense. Enjoy!

In other news: our Thanksgiving was last month so we didn't do any of that here. We did get pizza at work for a full year of no injuries, and then later in the week a giant bag of cookies appeared in the front office, so even though we haven't celebrated any holidays, it hasn't been a great week for me on the scales. But it HAS been a great week for workplace safety.
in Fandumb news, Cosplay nude photo site "Cosplay Deviants" trademarked the phrase "Cosplay Is Not Consent" and is asking that every convention that wants to use this phrase to help keep their attendees safe to comply with their usage guidelines. Cosplay Deviants, which charges $15 a month for access to their library of models dressed and semi-dressed as copyrighted characters that Cosplay Deviants has not licensed the use of, merely wants to make sure that "Cosplay Is Not Consent" is not used for profit. That would make "Cosplay Is Not Consent" the ONE THING that fandom isn't allowed to put on a T-shirt for profit, apparently.
Here's the LA Times using the phrase prior to CD's trademark application: http://www.laweekly.com/arts/cosplay-is-not-consent-anime-conventions-attack-the-problem-of-harassment-4184027
