Anvil – School Love

YouTube – Anvil – School Love 1984.

From Chris:

I couldn’t resist posting this clip by Anvil. I watched the documentary on Anvil last night and it dovetailed nicely with last week’s Canadian content. This heavy metal band from Toronto has been playing together for 30 years and were poised for big success in the early 80s, only [...]

Comics coloring breakdown
Jumble, 9/9/10 Faithful Jumble readers know that the seemingly innocent scrambled word game is slowly transforming into some kind of social-realist tract on the seedy underbelly of modern society, with routine depictions of sleaze and vice.

A farewell to covered arms (and necks)
Apartment 3-G, 9/8/10 Makeover victim #1, revealed! Margo’s here and she’s, eh, not actively laughable. Still, this seems like it might be kind of overcompensation: Kat has reacted to Margo’s penchant for turtlenecks by forcing her to wear the exact opposite of a turtleneck, a dress with a top that’s as low as possible while […]

Metapost: The wheels on the COTW go round and round

Anyway, enjoy your somewhat truncated (all pre-weekend getaway, sorry) comments of the week! First, your #1 comment: “At least Lonnie died doing what he loved: nothing.” –Rhekarid And your […]
Justice for dollars
Slylock Fox, 9/6/10 One of the great meta-mysteries of the Slylock Fox strip is: who exactly is Slylock’s employer? Does he work for the mostly dog-staffed police force, or is he a private eye for hire? Today’s strip seems to suggest the latter. The library system, not trusting the generally incompetent law enforcement […]
