Today's Reading

[pasithea]

Still hungry for data. Ready Peggy's book of Mother Goose, also momentarily distracted myself and searched for Rube Goldberg and found a site with some drawings.

Rounded off with some Tank Girl.

Last night I read some of Peggy's 'Savage Henry' comics which were interesting, nasty, and even strangely erotic in a disturbing sort of way. I admit I also really enjoyed the music reviews at the end.

This feels so weird. Since about midnight last night I've been running in an unscheduled mode. Nothing planned, no jobs to do. I never do this. It feels odd. I should definetely invent some more stuff for me to do soon.

Wow, I used that same URL just 2 days ago to explain who/what Rube Goldberg inventions are. But it seems the site is missing a lot of the ones I remember... or maybe it's like when you grow up, your childhood memories get distorted and you think things are neater/better now than they were then... who knows. :)

Matt Howarth's work has always struck me as gleefully subversive - I wholeheartedly recommend delving deeper - he has been producing his own self-publised stuff (as well as what's been published mass-market) since the early 70's. And it's his fault I like the Residents, Man Jumping, and a bunch of other cool stuff as well :)

And considering how many times he goes off in to 'odd woobly tentacular bulboid alien thingy' territory (and yet makes it look strikingly clean *and* noir at the same time), I'm not suprised by the 'strangely erotic' comment from you.

I've been getting his new "Bugtown" series, and it's even more of the same crazy work. Howarth is nuts in just the right way.
