Upcoming events

April 17: A lecture on The Evergreen State College, Baby Boomers, Photocopy, and Newave Comix at Evergroove for "The Women's West" program at Evergreen.

May 18: A "Fishbowl Seminar" celebrating Evergroove's 40th anniversary with: Craig Bartlett, Drew Christie, Matt Groening, Megan Kelso, Tommy Thompson, and yours truly. The bad news, they are selling tickets for the whole multi-day event at $150 bucks a pop and it does not appear as of today you can just come to this event alone at a discount.

May 26: Mini-Comics Day is a national event, and I'll be hosting the McCleary venue. Apparently, I have gone crazy.

June 2: The Olympia Comics Festival. Don't know yet what I'll be doing at this shindig, but I do plan on being there and if nothing else reporting on the artists.

Favorite Movie Quotes: Kiss of the Spider Woman

"I don't deserve to die in this cell. I only confessed some code names they already knew. I can't stand being a martyr. It infuriates me. I don't want to be a martyr. My whole life-- a mistake!"

Be careful if I stop by your place for lunch. I might just slip a Morty Comix under your silverware tray when you are not looking.

Favorite Movie Quotes: Le Roi de Cœur = King of Hearts

"Talk loud and no one listens."

This was a cult film shown frequently on campus when I was a student at The Evergroove State College in the 1970s. I recently watched it again (God, Alan Bates was so young in this!) and rediscovered why it still a great piece of cinema history.

I found this thing in my driveway. What is it? And how, pray tell, did it get there?

Morty Comix # 2307 Revisited

Last weekend I went to see if Morty Comix # 2307 was still in the spot it was left in February, and by gum it was! A little worse for wear but still in place. The phone booth had a fudgestick stick left there as a hobo sign meaning: "This phone booth contains a hidden Morty Comix."

Also, today, I was amazed to see Morty Comix # 2316 was still where I left it a week and a half ago. They must not vacuum very often.

Favorite Movie Quotes: Kind Hearts and Coronets

"While I never admired Edith as much as when I was with Sibella, I never longed for Sibella as much as when I was with Edith."

One of the all-time great films worth repeated viewings.
