After watching "El Dorado" for the jillionth time, I got my watercolor pad out and did this. By the way, has there ever been a more drunk, clueless, spittle-ridden sherrif than Robert Mitchum's?

Playing around with the concept of depicting celebrities as patron saints. This, of course, is St. Dean, patron saint of smokers and cocktail waitresses.

St. Barney is the patron saint of hall monitors and anti-gun lobbyists.

Thanks for the making the party! I've read many nice words of encouragement from ya'll and I wish could make a round of icy Beefeater martinis for all my new guests.
Please pop in any time. The beer is on the back deck and the bathrooms are to the left, behind the ceramic giraffe.
Don't touch the cd player, though
Cheers....

Goofing on three rock icons. Can you guess which ones?

St. Kurt is the patron saint of POW's.

Toying with a cover idea....


The patron saint of travel agents and liars...

The patron saint of bullfighters and barkeeps.

'Tis I, stickin' it to the Man. Notice the posh surroundings and the gaggle of dancing girls bringing me endless cocktails. Living the dream, baby.

Flight of the Conchords is my new favorite comedy duo. They do a fantastic job of lampooning "lounge music" by putting all these musical genres in a blender and then serving it up within a story line about weird, lovable losers trying to make a name for themselves. Enjoy.

St. Buster is the patron saint of actuaries.


Congratulations, you over-heated gasbag. The Anti-American Award (a.k.a the Nobel Peace Prize) goes to yet another Democratic demagogue bent on abusing America's character.

Which is worse....a preening Bostonian or an obnoxios New Yorker? Guess what? You get BOTH tomorrow!
Not a huge Giants fan as much as I'm a fan of historic upsets. I like the Giants over the Pats 27-24
UPDATE: Eli Manning MVP. Last two minutes was CLASSIC!

Of all the Republican candidates, John McCain seems to be one tough son of a gun. And it looks like he's on his way to facing the Democratic nominee for leader of the free world.


Too good to be true?

Will Farrell shoots an airball....

Science fiction writer extraordinaire. Thank you for your wonderful imagination.

This is my Mooktown Irregulars teammate, Bob. We call him Iceman because he's hits big darts when we need 'em.
He's a bit gruff, but that just makes him so damn cute.

Wonderful, bigger-than-life actor, who'll always be THE definitive Moses, has shuffled off this mortal coil. He delivered my all-time favorite movie line as Taylor in Planet of the Apes: "Get your stinking paws off me, you damn dirty apes!"

Rev. Wright keepin' the faith....

Jeff Bridges (Obidiah Stane) and Robert Downey, Jr. (Tony Stark) turn in bravura performances in Ironman. This turned out to be my favorite Marvel Comics-inspired movie to date.

Today, my favorite film comedian/auteur turned 82. He happens to have written, directed and acted in my all-time favorite comedy, "Blazing Saddles" and I owe him many thanks for cracking me up for so may years.
"Look, I don't want to wax philosophic, but I will say that if you're alive you've got to flap your arms and legs, you've got to jump around a lot, for life is the very opposite of death, and therefore you must at very least think noisy and colorfully, or you're not alive."
Mel Brooks

The curse of the open mike.....GOTCHA Rev. Jackson.

I've been revisiting Hunter S. Thompson's '79 collection of articles and essays, "The Gonzo Papers, Vol 1: The Great Shark Hunt: Strange Tales from a Strange Time". He was experiencing a new style of writing and you can sense he's trying to hang on by his crusty fingernails.
