Go, Booker, go!

Today I’m finally consuming Tom King and Greg Smallwood’s The Human Target. So much good noir happening here, with a stong nod to D.O.A. (1950).

Well, hello.

Most of these storylines I have in other editions, but I’m down for the Hawkman, Horror, and War entries.

Holy crap. Here’s Arthur Carlson running for Cincinnati city council (yes, I’m still watching WKRP). Now we know who inspired DT’s makeup style.

How’d I never notice that Herb Tarlek, the obnoxious sales manager from WKRP in Cincinnati, frequently sported an Onassis knot? Why do I even know about Onassis knots?

Old Don screaming, “Kneel before Scrod!” I’m not sure if Maine apologized to him, but Janet Mills owes him no apology. Never apologize for standing up to bullies. Ever.

107.7 The Bone has been playing pro-Trump anti-immigration ads, so I’ll be getting my rock and roll elsewhere, thank you very much.

I’m squandering my Saturday by going back and forth between articles from a Beat writers critical anthology and episodes of WKRP in Cincinnati. I’ll move when biology demands I do so.

Woman with cancer records her recovery process ❤️

Because nothing says dystopia like sick children laboring for healthcare.

The next issue of The Drink Tank will be about the Beats, so I’m reading The Cambridge Companion to the Beats as a refresher. If you have submissions, our deadline’s May 1, 2025.

My film watching for the coming week will include this mixed batch.

Although I knew it was part of a set up, this is one of the few comic-book moments to cause me physical pain.

I’m lining hp films to watch or rewatch over the next week. Here are possibilities.

What’s Chuck watching this week?

Next up for reading is The Gods of Guilt from Michael Connelly's Lincoln Lawyer series. Then maybe I'll shift to Herbert Huncke because The Drink Tank's upcoming issue will focus on the Beats. The due date's May 1!

Could Melon Husk's barber possibly have had both "Springtime for Hitler" and "Horst Vessel Lied" running through his head?

Bizarro play master chess. Bizarro protect Ukraine. (Note to those who don’t read Superman: Bizarro always says the opposite of what he means.)

A youngster on my television just said, “I prefer the oldies, like Destiny’s Child.” I’m comfortable with my agedness, but has anyone checked on Beyonce?

Trump’s the American Yanukovich. If you don’t know, look it up.

Слава Україні!

I just watched that shameful double-team berating Zelinsky endured at the White House. How embarrassing for every citizen of this country, whether they realize it. What punk bullies. Stick a fork in us.

One term for money is “dead presidents,” right? This implies that presidents should be dead before going on to a bill. If this is true, and if not it should be, I’m down for this proposal. Way down.

I visited just in the nick of time. www.sfgate.com/la/article/l...

Then more Big Macs and chicky nugs for him. Yes! Keep eating! Lap up that grease! Those pains in your chest mean that your feast is keeping you warm on cold winter nights. Trust me. Seriously, though, eating healthy is expensive, especially under this regime. Quit punishing the poor.

News that’s killing me more than softly.

Oh, yes. You do you because I’m sure as hell going to do me.
