Giving Thanks 2021

Turkey Day is upon us once again. This is my special time to give thanks and to offer my help by staying out of the kitchen.
Helen E. Hokinson
The New Yorker, November 27, 1937


I have been writing posts here for more than ten years now, but it's no secret that I am not entirely on my own. In my blogging pursuit I am fortunate to be aided by a dedicated group of knowledgeable readers and contributors with incredible resources and expertise that often seem to perfectly complement what I can provide. I owe so much to each of the individuals listed below for offering their generous help to me over this past year. Friends, I thank you all:


Linda Appleby

Tom Bloom

Daniel Borinsky

Steven D. Brewer

Dick Buchanan

Scott Burns

David from Manhattan

A Friend of the Blog

Joel Jacobus

Stephen Kroninger

David Leopold

Michael Maslin

Jeff Nelson

Joe Petro III

TNBIB

Sally Williams


Note:  Labels that link to posts made possible or more complete by each of these contributors may be found below, with a couple of exceptions. The post on the Lüchow's guest book is itself too full of celebrity names to have room for any contributor labels. Tom Bloom, Joel Jacobus, and David Leopold (the latter apparently through the miracle of Twitter) provided invaluable insights. I have no room below for a label linking to the older post helped along by TNBIB, who provided a valuable update on the topic of Ludwig von Drake cufflinks. Say what you will, no other blog covers these topics.


Last but by no means least, I wish to thank my family, who makes everything worthwhile.

Vaughn Bodé: Real Time Truth

Steven D. Brewer reports purchasing a pencil rough to Vaughn Bodé's "Real Time Truth" at the Words & Pictures Museum of Fine Sequential Art back around 1999. That would be close to the time the museum was to close its doors forever. Bodé's preliminary art does not include narrative text or dialogue; he must have worked that out elsewhere. The abbreviation DBE stands for Deadbone Erotica.

Note:  My thanks to Steven D. Brewer for providing the scan of Bodé's original rough. This is his first contribution to this blog. A Cheech Wizard hats off to Steven!


Obviously, I could use higher resolution scans of the published Bodé art. If anyone has a copy of the December 1971 Cavalier under the bed and a working scanner, please think of me.


My understanding is that real time as an adjective was not written as one word back in 1971. Clearly Bodé didn't intend it to be hyphenated either, so I've left it as two separate words.


Would I be willing to accept scans of other Vaughn Bodé original art for this blog? You have to ask?
