Happy Birthday Joe Sinnott!

Still the best there is at a young 82.

Why do I love Joe Sinnott? He's the only American artist I've ever spoken to who told me that one of his best pals lives a few miles from me, and then asked me to call him to wish him well - which I did.

Why do I adore Joe? Because he's one of the kindest, most honestly open people I've ever had the good fortune to speak to.

Why is Joe simply the best? Because as good as you artists out there are....

...you just ain't this good.

Pop by the Inkwell forums and wish Joe a happy birthday. Thanks to Bob Almond Joe will be checking in and reading his well wishes, so send those greetings and some love Joe's way.

Happy birthday, Joe! I've been a big fan for over thirty years. I hope you live to 100 and ink many more books!

MARVEL COMICS DEMANDS $17,000 from BROKE CREATOR of GHOST RIDER! The Shame Of Marvel...Part II

Image
The final judgement has been handed down in the long running Gary Friedrich vs Marvel (Ghost Rider) case, and now we know the full amount that Friedrich owes Marvel.  That's right, Marvel, a company that stands to make millions of dollars from the upcoming Ghost Rider II movie, and is paying Nicholas Cage millions to portray a character that Friedrich created, now wants money from Friedrich - in specific $17,000.  And they'd like that $17,000 now, please.  In full.

This stipulation has been agreed upon and so ordered by the court, with the final judgement reflecting all that contained within.  This now means that Gary Friedrich has the right to appeal, and appeal he shall, but it also means that he now owes Marvel Comics, a multi-million dollar making machine, backed by the multi-billion dollar Disney company, $17,000 and cannot ever sell anything related to Ghost Rider, nor can he even say that he created Ghost Rider for any form of gain or advertising.  Well done Marvel!!  …

Yogi Bear's Sexuality Explained

Was Yogi Bear gay or not? It's this kind of thing that keeps me wide awake in the middle of the night, clutching at the quilt, drowning in sweat and wishing that the ghosts inside of my head would just flee and leave me be. But they don't, so I instantly turn my thoughts into other realms.

Now, Yogi. On the surface of things he appears to be a normal bear. In the historical context of things he's just a cheap copy of Art Carney's Ed Norton (actually the Honeymooners was stolen better by Warner Brothers for their cartoon series featuring mice - Ralphy boy and his neighbour Martin).

Yogi used to hang around a place called Jellystone National Park and was, for the most part, obsessed by picnic baskets. Like a demented homeless person he relentlessly stalked people, slept on park benches, probably urinated in public, harassed people and stole whatever food and anything else that he could reach. All the time he was pursued by two people, the first being the anal retentive Ra…

We Made The Washington Post!

In a most excellent article, journalist Brigid Schulte tackles the New York Apartment scammers.  The article was spawned by Brigid's own experiences and the comments she found on this very blog, focusing on what happened to us, and several others, when we tried to book an apartment in New York.  Luckily Brigid took notice of what she read, which verified her own feelings and managed to not get ripped off - good for her!

Go and have a read, and, more importantly, pass the word on to everyone and anyone who is thinking of travelling anywhere and booking.  First rule of thumb - NEVER pay anyone via a money transfer system such as Western Union or Moneygram.  They assist the scammers, and once your money is gone, those companies couldn't care less.  They've got their cut.  Make sure you pay in such a way that you've got recourse - if it's a money transfer then it's a scam, as far as I'm concerned.
