I feel compelled to write again about “The Three Stooges” movie because I saw it last night and it’s actually kind of special. My original misgivings about this whole endeavor were quickly dispelled. The complex choreography, the sound effects, the sight gags, all just barrel along for 92 minutes, never letting up. Amazingly, the plot […]
Just a reminder. Ada Books hosts Brian Chippendale and C.F. kicking off a, . . . Non-Musical & Mostly Verbal & Visual Tour of Tours. Their newly minted books — If ‘n Oof & Powr Mastrs 3, respectively — will be on hand and there will plenty of signing, doodling and power pointing for your

We warmly welcome back TOJB, who manages always (here. here) to put things in perspective, with his riffs on the classic Joe Bernstein comment to this post about the way gay people are treated at certain pizza parlors in downtown Providence. When I was growing up there was no negative connotation to the word ‘Norway

From Ian Donnis over at WRNI comes this — Bob Seay’s recent interview with Brian Chippendale who seems unable to stop covering paper with ink. His upcoming graphic novel If ‘n Oof (that apostrophe moves about) is available for pre-order over at Picture Box where it is described as 650 pages long with a shipping

I have a short post up at HuffPo, about the obvious ridiculousness of the self-appointed defenders of the Constitution and all that is righteous pushing through a bill of attainder to single out ACORN for punishment without trial: We’ll know the Mad Hatters really care about the Constitution when they start heaping praise upon the

[No spoilers] Project Runway is back on the air and all is right with the world — except that our official Runway correspondent informed me at the very last minute that he had a terrible case of the vapors and has retreated to “the lake house”. (His contract has a ‘dew point’ clause.) I’ll do
Maker of comics, Gabrielle Bell, will be appearing Monday evening at Ada Books signing her latest collection, Cecil and Jordan in New York, published by Drawn & Quarterly and reviewed by Newsarama. The eleven short stories that make up Cecil and Jordan In New York: Stories By Gabrielle Bell (Drawn and Quarterly) all flow so
UPDATE 2/23 9:46 PM: Further proving my point, the Washington Post just named Barack Obama, in his appearance in Spider-Man, the number one black superhero of all time. We all know Spider-Man meets Obama was a big deal and I know that when a president has the gross amount of pop culture appeal that Obama
It is my pleasure to introduce to Dose readers a new contributor, local artist Dave Ray. You may have seen his work on the pavement at the annual street painting contest . . . where the great unwashed tended to overlook his nuanced and vaguely unsettling kittens in favor of the predictable Simpsons/Jack Sparrow/Spiderman entries
See that? What she’s been saying in here books. Now also when you read this term born of a virgin. Talking about the bible. We have to understand that this word…
was on the ball… “The appellation Satan in Hebrew and adversary… belongs by right to the first and cruelest ‘adversary’ of all the Gods. Jehovah not in the serpent which spoke only words of sympathy and wisdom.”
By the way the Egyptian heiroglyph for woman was, guess what? The serpent. Then Madame Helena Blavatsky in the Theosophical Society said something. She
My favorite new addition to Adult Swim is The Drinky Crow Show. One thing that jumps right out at you is the look of the thing — the animation is very cool. To translate the original pen-and-ink strip, Maakies by Tony Millionaire, into animation, the producers actually created a new animation technique called Maakie-Mation. So
