This morning it felt like my brain was coming out of head via my eyes, a strange effect of having a migraine/sinus headache. But I still had to sit down and write in front of the computer. That cleared up (mostly) after lying in a darkened room watching a FLASH episode with the "Pied Piper" (a silly villain in the silver age comics, a vicious bastard in the TV show).

Tomoorow it's out and about which is probably a good thing.  Time to feed the pets and sit outside in the shade.

She talks about how incomplete fragments  of a person's life (whether true or not) become a "single story" implying an "only truth" about them. Worth listening to, and there's a transcript at http://blog.ted.com/how-do-i-cite-a-tedtalk/.

I was looking for examples of propaganda comics, and found THIS!

I was looking for examples of propaganda comics, and found THIS! According to various sources (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_propaganda_comics#Grenada:_Rescued_from_Rape_and_Slavery), this was a CIA produced comic distributed in Grenada just before the US forces occupied that country.  This was at the tale end of the Cold War, but the comic seems fairly crude in what it's saying, more like an old Iron man comic than anything else.

The thing is, I "know" this artist - he did work for DELL and GOLD KEY in the 60s, I know his style. but his work was seldom signed. I'm not 100% sure but I think it's Jack Sparling, as based on examples I found at http://beachbumcomics.blogspot.com.au/2014/05/jazzy-jack-sparling-marvelous-comic.html. I guess work is work.

And one last photo, before new Doctor Who starts.

And one last photo, before new Doctor Who starts. There's something about buildings like this, whether they're in a ghost town in the Wild West, at Kwolyin, Western Australia, or from Linda Valley Tasmania, that evokes a certain pathos, of opportunities both taken and missed, but never to come again. Unlike abandoned mental and medical institutions which can look downright spooky in their desolation, these seem lonely and forlorn.

For me, CRAFT - the use of tools to create known patterns of beauty and value - transcends to ART when the creator uses the tools intended for the craft in ways OTHER than expected, and that's exactly what this work does.

That moment when, discovering that term coined by a well respected  academic to help analyze comics - arthrology - was ALREADY a medical term meaning "the science concerned with the study of anatomy, function, dysfunction and treatment of joints and articulations."!!!  Did he not check that it might already exist? :P

Today's been a full-on research into Australian comic culture since 2003. This is trickier than it seems. For example, if you read this graphic novel, based on the Fitzgerald original) would you know (ignoring notes on the cover flaps) that it was produced by an Australian artist?

H a ha - what used to be the start of the second side of THE BLURRED CRUSADE just played. It features some one knocking on the door and Steve Kilbey saying "Yeah, wait there". Both Theo an Sophie starting barking at that!

What made that sweet was that my old dog Pegasus used to do the same, no matter how often he heard it.
