August Hobbyhorses

I think a good portion of this month's posts will be about Comedy or Silence. Already begun the first, after a fashion, but would like to look at: lightheartedness, bait and switch, Mutt and Jeff. We'll also see if I can avoid resorting to Michael Kupperman. And silence: the no-words type and others.

Let's start with both.

  1. Little Lu Lu started out without words. Hard to find the old stuff online. I found a copy of a 1930's book under my bed at my cottage when I was a kid: http://michelesworld.net/dmm2/lulu/mckay1.jpg. Ignoring the flagrant racism, it gave me some good ideas about what I should be doing with my time.

    A bad influence, albeit; she was a total dick.

  2. Thanks for the Lulu. And what a sweet beginning she had! I really like the mischiefmakers too, the Buster Browns, the little shits.
