Bezango: Overheard in Olympia
Olympia Power & Light # 50 (December 28-January 10, 2012)
You old Newave Comix folks will enjoy this domino effect. As I stated in this column, the whole idea for this piece came from our colleague Susan Catherine and her Overheard at America's Lunch Counters minicomix from the 1980s.
I see by the inset the editors of OP&L plan to co-opt this and use it as a mini-regular feature in the future. There's a lesson here for all us aging Newavers as we qualify for senior discounts at various fast food outlets. Something we did three decades ago when we were all on the cutting edge can still carry some clout in places today we could never have predicted. Funny how life works.
Susan drew a self-portrait I used on the cover of Outside In #7 and I'm posting it here to give her due credit.

Louis Jordan: You Will Always Have a Friend If You Have Some Money To Spend
Our Newave pal Wayno was positively evangelical almost a quarter century ago when it came to the music of Louis Jordan, "The Last Swinger; The First Rocker." He compiled a great cassette of Jordan's songs and converted me. I pulled this out a couple months ago and enjoyed the songs more than ever.
Lately the song "You Will Always have a Friend if You Have Some Money to Spend" is running through my mind.
Thanks for introducing me to Jordan's music, Wayno. I'm still a fan, both of you and Louis.
