Religious Statues Left Behind Find Their Own Patron Saint - NYTimes.com

Religious Statues Left Behind Find Their Own Patron Saint - NYTimes.com:

 "“I just got her a month ago,” Lou McClung says, as he dabs a paintbrush to a faded life-size statue of the patron saint of those who work in explosives. Nearby, a tired St. Anthony of Padua, patron of lost things, awaits his own appointment, as does a worn St. Rose of Lima, once known for her beauty but now, in the estimation of Mr. McClung, “a big hot mess."

"Comic Book Hoarders
BY FRANK SANTORO MAR 4, 2012


Unpacked one of my comic book boxes from tour. Some of these I bought in Portland, some I got in Vancouver. Whether traded for, purchased or stolen from friends when they weren’t looking – I gotta thank Zack Soto, Jason Levain, Robin McConnell and Brandon Graham for helping me with my habit."

==================O=============================

looking through this batch of comicbook covers is like an episode of THIS IS YOUR LIFE, ED.  i remember many of these. i'm not certain that i agree with certain of Frank Santoro's quips, but hey, G-D made the rainbow so that we could each have a choice in wardrobe coordination.

 a case in point is HERBIE. granted, my take on this character's various series
 is tainted by nostalgia and my own recollections on prepubescent fatdom, but can anyone that's read the series argue against it's being one of the most original, fun and downright strangest comicbooks ever printed?

okay, there's MeatHaus. but Frank doesn't categorize these as crap, does he?


Charlton Comic's Jungle Jim #27 has to be one of the worst Steranko covers ever.
side by side with Jeff Jone's  FORBIDDEN LOVE (a poor man's Bernie Wrightson?)
okay nthat wasn't fair, but tell me that you didn't think of that angle yourself.

there's a few of these that i'm not familiar with/do not own. if i were to
 get my choice of one of these based on the cover alone i would opt for
 HERO COMICS from ACQ. c'mon that SM cover tingles the nether regions, does it not?

overall pick?
 sorry, but i gotta go back  for the FAT FURY, HERBIE #1!
love that plunger on the head. :-)

Old Fart Football
An old married couple no sooner hit the pillows when the old man passes gas and says, ‘Seven Points.'

His wife rolls over and says, 'What in the world was that?'
The old man replied, 'its fart football.'

A few minutes later his wife lets one go and says,‘Touchdown, tie score...'

After about five minutes the old man lets another one go and says,
'Aha. I'm ahead 14 to 7.'

Not to be outdone the wife rips out another one and says,
'Touchdown, tie score.'

Five seconds go by and she lets out a little squeaker and says,
'Field goal, I lead 17 to 14.' Now the pressure is on the old man.

He refuses to get beaten by a woman, so he strains real hard.
Since defeat is totally unacceptable, he gives it everything he's got, and accidentally craps in the bed.

The wife says, 'What the hell was that?'

The old man says, 'Half time, switch sides






{If you don't laugh at this one, then you've got a terrible sense of humor!}
