Just when I think “I’m strapped... can't look at another art book or my wallet will turn into a black hole and suck me bodily into the pits of bibliomania hell along with a few semi-innocent bystanders...” along comes this. A gargantuan hardcover tome of Winsor McKay's classic early 20th C. Sunday comics reproduced in the original tabloid proportions—lavish and precious and unexpected, but likely to be injurious to my tendons nonetheless. Likely to end up as ballast for my swaying IKEA bookcase—you know, just in case my cats decide to grow opposing thumbs and try pulling the damn thing over on its side once and for all. Of course it would be very pretty ballast, compared to that unread slab I've had for years, the one with the hundred and one views of the temple of Karnak.

Yes, I know of mad George Ohr... I've seen some of his work at the Craft Museum in NYC. He'd actually make a great addition to Hokum's Patron Saints.... he had eccentricity and joy of creation to burn.... he couldn't even leave his moustache alone! Must find that book. Thanks for hipping me to it, Jen.
haha.... yeah, I realize the blog's in the midst of a really pregnant pause right now, unintentionally... have just been struggling with clearing my plate to get in the time for a real piece of content. I've got a lot of themes for posts lined up: reviews, pithy observations and whatnot, but as the Wilco song says
"haven't found the time
to write my mind
the way I want it to read"
Soon, very soon....
