One of Jodie Foster’s Early Roles

I posted a link to this a year or so ago, here’s an embed. 

It’s not quite a slab of granite,

but maybe Lefalcon will appreciate it nonetheless.

A woman with a bizarre fetish for inaninimate objects has revealed she has been married to the Berlin Wall for 29 years.

Eija-Riitta Berliner-Mauer, 54, whose surname means Berlin Wall in German, wed the concrete structure in 1979 after being diagnosed with a condition called Objectum-Sexuality.

Mrs Berliner-Mauer, whose fetish is said to have its roots in childhood, claimed she fell in love with the structure when she first saw it on television when she was seven.

White Boy

Several years ago I visited the Eiteljorg Museum in Indianapolis.  There was an exhibition of paintings by a group of artists who were active in the 1930s and 1940s.  They developed a style that showed the influence of southwestern Native American art.  The first painting I saw looked extremely familiar.  When I saw that the painter was Garrett Price, I knew why.  In the mid 30s, Price created a comic strip called WHITE BOY.  Two Sunday installments of the strip were reproduced in a book my parents had when I was a kid, The Smithsonian Collection of American Newspaper Comics.  Those strips fascinated me; the same style Price and his fellow painters of the southwestern school used in their paintings was featured there.  

Several WHITE BOY strips are scanned in and available for viewing at this address:

I posted a link to some funny stuff from this guy’s blog a while back.  Here is his tribute to a comic book that ran for a few months in 1975 (from Atlas Comics, which Lefalcon will remember.)
