Speaking of cartoons ~ Once I accidentally stumbled upon a WHOLE LOT of black rats. B-I-G ones that were running amok in a very dark and scary industrial wasteland. I drew one at the time. This is what they looked like- except they all had hungry red eyes.
Now here's a cartoon that did make it at LRC. Only this time, there was no article. Just Jupiter and Elvis:
This cartoon was for an article I had at LewRockwell.com. The article was posted but the cartoon was a little over the top, I suppose...
Here's one that does make it:

Here is the survival manual for the Sunshine State:
Another example of why John D MacDonald was the best American Author of popular fiction in the mid/late 20th century. All immigrants to Floor-Aye-Duh should have J.D.'s novel of the realities of life in a tropical archipelago memorized BEFORE they locate or build.
Read it, Pilgrim, you'll be very, very, very glad you did.

Whoops, looks like while we weren't looking politicks have attached themselves all over everything in sight and are busily sucking away at our remaining vital bodily fluids - not that nobody cares until November nohow.
And although it's still summer, your intrepid editors at large haven't completely ignored the political-media complex's kerryings on. In fact, we sure enjoyed all the heavy sedation and nifty banner waving over at DemCon '04 ~ haven't seen that many Cambodian Flags since that wrong turn in '72... and now things are gearing up for the Repuglican's party. Gosh. We hear the eager participants have already bought up all the brownshirts and armbands in New York's garment district. Wow! What a big show this is going to be.
But be assured, readers of TSC, despite our amusement at those big party-goers, goings-ons,,, we are still backers of the only TRUE American political party worth a sh... ot. Worth a few shots - That's right:
THE HUGE ASS BEERS PARTY!
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

When I was 12 years old I had one of those steel-framed minibikes powered by a lawn-mower engine. I once flew over the handle bars and cut my left knee. Three stitches. I still have the scar, even today. Ah, those were the days! Didn't even wear a helmet, and the cops never caught me, since I zipped down the dirt path by the railroad track.

All of the big monkeys around here are going to miss her.
Yeah, yeah, we know ... but it's close enough for rock 'n roll.
Just watch it, you'll be glad you did!
A delightful homage for fans of those awful 1950's creature features. Writer-director-actor Larry Blamire has taken nearly every cliché of those barely-a-budget SF/horror films and distilled them into THE LOST SKELETON OF CADAVRA. A bit too long at 90 minutes, but still, there are parts that will have you laughing out loud. Take a smart-ass skeleton who wants to conquer the world ("You're an idiot...I sleep now"), the Mad Scientist who resurrects him, two clueless but good-natured aliens (and their escaped pet MUTANT), a microscope-toting scientist who appears to be the prototype for the Perfesser from GILLIGAN's ISLAND, and his adoring June Cleaver wife, throw all of them into one big stew, and this flick is what you've got. Parts were even shot in Bronson Canyon (and I could swear the exact cave for ROBOT MONSTER was used), site of some of most cheapie films you could imagine. I especially liked Animala, four animals morphed into one hot, beatnik babe who dresses in black and does the Dance of Love. MEOW!!

We probably know more about the surface of the moon than we do the ocean. Every day we discover new species. This little beauty is Bathocyroe fosteri, a lobate ctenophore found at intermediate depths in all the seas. It's very common and abundant near the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and measures about two inches tall.
An you know what? I would love to have one of these things, about 1000 feet long, for use as...a spaceship!

As much as I like Ron Perlman as an actor, he is the only star I've ever seen who actually looks better no matter what make-up is slapped on him. Back in the 80s, when he was the lion-thingie star of Beauty and the Beast, all the women were swooning over how romantic the program was because of Perlman always giving Linda Hamilton big huggies. I never informed any of them that the make-up improved Perlman's looks, not just a little bit, but a gigantic bit. Still, if I could be Hellboy, what the hell--I'd trade places with him.
