Technical Difficulties

For some reason my wordpress keeps resetting to the default theme. I’ll have more time to look into it this week.

Just know that if you came to my page and everything is all bland there’s a much cooler theme I stole and edited to suit my own needs that should be here in it’s place.

Maybe it’s just time to upgrade to WP 2.5…

Week Fifty-Five: Dumb and Dumber

I’m sure they were in no rush to return the tuxes.

The League of Obscure 90’s TV Characters

Alan Moore’s Black Dossier inspired this homage. However, instead of literary classics I use 90’s American Television as my launching pad.

The following takes place between October 10th and 11th, 1998…

Agent Bauer’s fingers shuffle down a row of dusty book spines, then another, then another. Finally, he snatches a thick tome from its forgotten perch. The binding cracks open like arthritic knuckles and reveals faded, Italian script inside. How such a valuable book ended up hidden in a high school library is of immediate interest to the CIA Agent.

Bauer emerges from the classics section just as his hostage, the Librarian, regains consciousness.”Where did you get this?” Bauer deadpans.

“PTA Donation Drive.” He barely finishes before Bauer cracks him on the jaw with the ancient book.

“You’re lying. Who are you?” Bauer hoists the bookworm up by his collar, “Who are you?” But it’s no use - he’s out again.

Suddenly, voices approach in the distance - kids - maybe 3 or 4. “Does anyone at this school ever go home?”

Priceless text in hand, Bauer ducks out out an emergency exit to avoid a delay. He boosts a Hummer parked in the student lot and speeds East out of Sunnydale, California.

Eustace Tilley Contest Winners

I wasn’t one of them.

It’s OK, the twenty entries chosen by The New Yorker were all wonderful.

Happy tangent of the whole thing; I was invited to enter a portrait contest for the Smithsonian.
