the Devils in the funnies

Once in a while I'll see something in relation to the Devils that's worthy of posting. So far - here's two amusing references from the comic world.

01/23/03 Mother Goose and Grimm strip
Copyright 2003, King Features Syndicate, Inc. / Mike Peters

Let's face it. Finding a reference to this website (or me - ha!) in print will be next to impossible. This "Mother Goose and Grimm" comic from January 23 in the Washington Post comes awfully close.

Can you blame him? Come on, it was devil's food cake! *canned laughter*


Copyright 1986, United Press Syndicate / Gary Larson

Gary Larson's comic strip "The Far Side" was by far my favorite cartoon for many years, until a couple years back when he decided to discontinue the strip. One paneled strips have that *punch* that multi-paneled ones often do not - simply because if the comic is going to be successful, it has one chance, and that's it.

Just something interesting I found flipping through my copy of The PreHistory of the Far Side: A 10th Anniversary Exhibit by Gary Larson (1990, Andrews and McMeel, p.216).

For those not familiar with the Lilac Time, there's a TLT single (circa 1989) entitled "Welcome to Hell...Here's Your Accordion." The first time I read that I thought "hmmm...pretty nonsensical, very non sequitur." (There's no song with that title on the single - the "single" is actually the song "American Eyes.")

Is Stephen a Gary Larson fan? Definitely something to ask him. Maybe he's just as twisted as I am. (And I say that with the utmost respect! *smile*)
