I can't believe another week has already gone by fashion mavens, its been another busy one here in the Land of the Libraries. This year's Association of College and Research Libraries convention will be in Seattle this weekend where Naomi Klein and Ira Glass are going to be keynote speakers. Librarians know the coolest people, everybody knows that! Sorry if the post is a tainch short because I am insane busy. Onto the Fashion!
2 Cows and a Chicken, 3/11/2009
The last time I saw that wig it was on a 6 foot tall female impressionist with no teeth. Without reservation or hesitation, the wig looked better on the toothless drag queen. And why are they making a snack bar out of a barn? I refuse to ask such questions.
Heathcliff, 3/11/2009
Today Heathcliff reminds us of our inevitable future as slaves to our mouse overlords. The sages haven't told me much but they said that in the year 2020 we will either all bow down to the swarming rodentia who thrive in our post-apocalyptic urban wasteland we used to call America or the Disney Corporation will own all of our souls. Thank you Heathcliff for preparing us all for what we know we cannot run from.
Henry, 3/11/2009
Henry often scares and confuses me since most of the time the cartoon is basically all a collection visual images which don't make sense to me. He lives in some kind of strange past where the boys are bald and the girls wear raggedy Shirley Temple wigs with giant bows and their underpants hanging out. Since its not raining she must be carrying a parasol, which is would place this comic somewhere around the Victorian era. Next time I see this comic Freud will be coming around the corner, Oscar Wilde will be mincing down the street and Louis Pastour will throw hot pasteurised milk in Henry's beady little eyes.
Good Night y'all, I'll see you in Seattle!

I think in this Heathcliff we're asked to make our own joke, because there doesn't seem to be one there. sort of edgy and modern I guess
Heathcliff doesn't make too much sense. The caption at the bottom is in quotes, and the only person with their mouth open is the cop in a mouse suit in the background... Why in the world are they all in mouse suits?! I think you're right. This is the post-apocalyptic future that we definitely know is coming. Freakin' mice.
As for the Henry comic... I just don't get it... Wait. I do get it. He's a very effemenate sounding male, and she's a lesbian. On the phone, she thinks he's a chick, and then when she shows up and realizes that he's actually a mentally deficient male her only option is to beat him.
So, to recap that, Henry is a retarded, male with a girly voice and this girl is a rage-filled lesbian who beats up retards.
Who knew?
It took me a minute and many beers but I figured out the Henry comic. He calls his lady friend to meet him so they can have a respectable date per the strict Victorian/ Depression era social norms. He happens to be standing in front of a store advertising a job where a girl is wanted. Henry's lady friend comes over and thinks Henry is the one advertising "Girl Wanted" so she beats his bald little head with her parasol.
Ha Ha Ha?
