Hand Puppet

All I’ve got is presumably more complex than Mike Peters intended: Original Sin is a metaphor for sex, and this is Adam’s attempt to get Eve to put out.

Frankly Synchronous

Cidu Bill on Jul 5th 2009

Tom Knapp sent these two from Saturday’s newspaper. Normally I wouldn’t see much synchronicity in two Benjamin Franklin gags on Independence Day — the connection seems farly obvious — but two different Franklin-as-horndog gags definitely qualify.

One day away from a pretty good bit of synchronicity as well, even if David Carradine hadn’t died.

Earth Day Synchronicity

Cidu Bill on Apr 22nd 2009

Elyrest: I know it’s Earth Day and it’s most likely been done before, but My Cage and Mother Goose and Grimm are doing the Synchronicity thing.

This month’s Mother Jones magazine, by the way, discusses the dark side of compact fluorescent bulbs: They contain enough mercury-based neurotoxin to be classified as hazardous waste, and must be properly recycled. Most Home Depot and Ikea stores accept used bulbs but Wal-Mart — the company that positions itself as the “champion” for CFLS — does not.

Mother Addams

Cidu Bill on Feb 3rd 2008

addams-goose.jpg

The Charles Addams Mother Goose is pretty much what you’d expect, a macabre take on some traditional nursery rhymes. So what I’m wondering is… What’s the market for this thing? Amazon claims it’s for kids between the ages of 4 and 8, but I’m not sure I’d have given my kids this book when they were 4 (and my kids were hardly sheltered; my younger son, when he was 5, asked me to explain to him the difference between murder and manslaughter) — and a kid old enough to deal with Jack Sprat and his wife being portrayed as cannibals, without several episodes of nightmares, probably wouldn’t be caught dead reading a Mother Goose book even with subversive illustrations.

Just for the record, though (speaking of subversive children’s books), every preschooler should own The Z Was Zapped — and I’ve personally made sure that most of my nieces and nephews had theirs.
