Pollux writes : It is interesting to see the cartoonist at home. The home is usually the cartoonist's place of work. It is their laboratory, studio, and place of meditation. The walls of the cartoonist's home are littered with sketches, paintings, posters, rejection letters, and letters of acceptance. It is even more interesting to see two cartoonists at home, sharing a space as well as ideas. The...

I have just learned that the late Edward Woodward - will they bury him with three wooden headstones? - was married to Michele Dotrice. She played Betty opposite Michael Crawford's Frank Spencer in Some Mother's Do 'Ave 'Em, an endearing and thoroughly unsophisticated sitcom. "Oooh Betty" defined the Seventies as much as Choppers, "Oooh Matron" or "One Out All Out". Frank...

Edward Woodward became a household name as Callan, the cold-blooded Secret Service agent, in the television series of that name, which ran for seven years from the late 1960s. But he suffered from being too closely associated with the character and this affected his subsequent career.

Magazines are shrinking—smaller staffs, fewer writers, fewer stories written per writer, fewer words for each story—but The New Yorker continues to look, remarkably, about the same as it did five years ago, even as its parent company has cut hundreds of jobs and folded a handful of titles in the past few weeks. The New Yorker has never published a masthead. But four and a half...

Yesterday a friend called my attention to an e-mail urging Democratic Party members in Maine to get involved in the election by joining the get out the vote effort-- in New Jersey. You think that may have pissed off the thousands of Mainers working their asses off to fight off an attack from the Catholic Church and right wing bigots against their right to marry? This morning I've been seeing a lot...

I was thrilled to discover that Disney had made available Condorman on DVD. I got mine by cashing in Disney Movie Rewards points, or apparently you can get it through their Disney Movie Club (a subscription service). I have fond memories of this 1981 goofy superhero/spy spoof. It starts Michael Crawford, who went on to [...]
