This I kinda like. The drawing is fresh and spontaneous. Apparently, you can find more such strips at this site.

Moroccan Roll/title

Moroccan Roll. A three page, all-true tale--in which I flee from the ardent attentions of an aroused mountain boy.

Starry nights, wild dogs, and a massive hydroelectric dam. Tres, tres jolie.
Below is the hydroelectric dam at Bin el Ouidane, the man-made lake in the Moyen Atlas where my cartoon tale, "Moroccan Roll," takes place.

The low flat-roofed building at the far end of the dam is where the Army barracks were, and it could be the very building where I had fled for safety.

Where does art come from?

Wil Forbis of "Acid Logic" essays an answer (to a question posed by his 91-year-old father, no less).

I love how these are drawn. The premise is original, the characters engage me, and I find it amusing. What more can you ask?

Piglet shot from cannon--gives new meaning to "Swine Flew." Thanks Robot Messiah.

Jack Kerouac on The Steve Allen Show

For those who enjoyed seeing Frank Zappa at 22 on the Steve Allen show, here's an interview Steve did in 1959 with Jack Kerouac. Kerouac reads from "On the Road," while Steve improvises on the piano.

Frank Zappa at 22 (1 of 4)

A great series of YouTube clips from a 1962 Steve Allen show, featuring a very young Frank Zappa, 22, performing cacophonous music on bicycles. Just a stunt, yet the glimmer of what Frank would become can be seen here. Steve Allen was pretty good about looking for unusual, on-the-edge stuff--there's a famous clip of him improvising on the piano as Kerouac reads from "On the Road.".

The Bun-Crushing Baby. An all-true comic tale of our family vacation to Newfoundland to see our cousins, culminating in the spectacle of a bun-crushing baby.

Do kids still sing the Greasy, Grimy Gopher Guts song?
