Sypboy; The Horror of Collier County By Michael Vance
Spyboy's Peter David has a reputation for puns. As his newest boy slams a bully's head against a toilet, Alex yells "Here! Lemme crown you with the throne!"
Did I mention they are bad puns?
Peter David also has a reputation for tightly scripted romps that leave his readers wanting more. Spyboy is more.
Alex is Spyboy, and a teenager brutalized by his schoolmates. Only his imagination saves his sanity during ugly situations. Much more you won't learn from the first issue.
The first issue of a new comic book series is always tricky. There usually isn't enough room to offer detailed plot and character development, but most comics fans only give a creative team one of two issues to build an audience. So a taste of things to come must really whet the appetite.
Spyboy is whet and wild. (See, Peter, I can also do it.)
Some excellent art, heavily influenced by Japanese manga (big shoes, shocks of tousled hair and huge eyes), adds just the right visual spice as well.
What more can I say?
Buy it.
Thrill at an alligator ripping the shorts off a man.
Chill as a totally detestable, sour and profane mother sets a terrible example for her young daughter.
Gag as another older parent is painted as stupid, ugly, and useless.
Yes, yawn at The Horror of Collier County, a “reality”-based new limited comic book series that begs the question, “Why should I spend $2.95 for five minutes of this?”
The answer is that the abstract cartoonist art is distinctive and consistent, and the visual storytelling is solid.
But the book’s leisurely pace, profanity, unnecessary nudity, and unsympathetic characters leave you, as it did me, horrified.

Sabato 8 giugno 2013 nell’Arena concerti di Rho Fiera ha avuto luogo uno degli appuntamenti più importanti di quest’estate per i fan dell’heavy metal, ovvero il festival Sonisphere 2013, con la partecipazione di ben sette formazioni fra le quali, gruppo di punta, gli Iron Maiden.
Gli Iron Maiden sono la storia del metal inglese, e dalla ‘reunion’ del 1999 le quotazioni sono in continua ascesa. La promessa di suonare al Sonisphere la scaletta del ‘Maiden England’ tour del 1988 renderà felici sia i fan irriducibili della prima ora, sia i giovanissimi appassionati che nel 1988 non erano nemmeno nati.
Inoltre, il gruppo inglese si è “fatto social”, e invita i fan presenti al concerto a condividere foto e commenti su una pagina apposita, e segnalano che l’hashtag per il concerto di Milano sarà #maidenmilan.

Opening-act di Juliette and the Licks, il 6 giugno al Circolo Magnolia di Segrate a Milano, i Gambardellas.
I Gambardellas nascono nel 2012 come one-man-band dalla volontà di Mauro Gambardella, batterista già attivo da anni nella scena indipendente italiana (George Merk, The R’s, Paletti), che sentiva il bisogno e l’urgenza di intraprendere un progetto solista che lo rappresentasse pienamente.
La prima uscita discografica del nuovo progetto vede la luce nel febbraio 2013: “Sloppy Sounds”, album, co-prodotto dal produttore bergamasco Fabio “FabzTheDale” Dalè e dallo stesso Mauro e mixato dal noto produttore Fabio Trentini (Guano Apes), è la piena rappresentazione delle influenze e gusti musicali del suo creatore: un caleidoscopio di sonorità che vanno dal garage rock al power pop, una musica che da notevole importanza alla struttura delle canzoni e dove predominano ritornelli catchy. L’album ottiene ottimo riscontro sia dal pubblico che dalla critica e i video dei tre singoli si aggiudicano esclusive su alcuni dei più importanti siti nazionali: Flash (rockol.it), Tito (rollingstonemagazine.it) e Needs (xl.repubblica.it).
Nello stesso anno parte lo Sloppy Sounds Tour che porta i Gambardellas ad esibirsi in più di 40 concerti in Italia, aprendo anche live di: Ministri, Fast Animals and Slow kids, Il pan del Diavolo, King of the Opera e Aucan.
Nel settembre 2013 i Gambardellas diventano una band a tutti gli effetti grazie all’ingresso ufficiale tra le fila di Glenda Frassi (chitarra-cori) e Grethel Frassi (tastiere-cori), già presenti nella precedente formazione live. Nello stesso mese la nuova formazione entra all’IndieHub studio di Milano per registrare un nuovo lavoro: “Ashes” (BigWave Records), EP prodotto da Giovanni Spinotti (ex assistente di Bob Clearmountain) e dai Gambardellas, segna un importante punto di svolta sonora per la band e rappresenta una passaggio a una maggiore maturità compositiva di una band in continua crescita. Il sound del nuovo lavoro è più scuro del precedente ed è decisamente più scarno. Anche i testi risultano essere più critici e di denuncia, ambientazioni cupe e profonde, che si rispecchiano anche nell’immagine della band.
L’Ashes tour porta i Gambardellas, tra il 2014 ed il 2015, in tutta Italia ed in Europa per più di 60 date collezionando aperture prestigiose (tra le quali: Linea77, BudSpencerBluesExplosion, Brunori SAS, Boxerin Club, Maria Antonietta, Giuradei, Luminal) e a partecipazioni a manifestazioni di spicco italiane ed estere come il Woodstock Poland Festival (unici italiani a partecipare al festival che ha contato 750.000 presenze nel 2014 e una line up di tutto rispeto: Hatebreed, Skid Row, Volbeat) e il Milano Film Festival.
Terminato il tour europeo nel novembre 2015, i Gambardellas tornano in studio di registrazione per registrare il secondo full lenght della loro carriera. L’album viene registrato e prodotto presso gli UpStudios di Pavia nei mesi tra febbraio e maggio 2015. Attualmente la band è pronta a tornare on the road in attesa dell’uscita del nuovo album.

A fine map from the great Royal Geographical Society that strove to understand some of the more remote regions of the world. This map Lake Urmia Basin, spans from Tabriz and Urmi, south into the hills. Notes the major rivers and tributaries, as well as towns and cities.
Urmia (Turkish language: Urmu, Urmiyə, اورمیه; farsi: ارومیه) variously translitterated as Oroumiyeh, Orūmīyeh and Urūmiyeh, is a city in and the capital of West Azerbaijan Province, Iran. At the 2006 census, its population was 577,307, with 153,570 households.
The city lies at an altitude of 1,330 m above sea level on the Shahar Chay river (City River). Urmia is the 10th most populated city in Iran. The population is mainly mainly Azerbaijanian Turkish(85-90%), with Kurdish, Assyrian Christian, and Armenian minorities.
Urmia is situated on a fertile plain called Urmia Plain, on western side of Lake Urmia; and eastern side of Turkish border and marginal range of mountains.
Urmia is the trade center for a fertile agricultural region where fruit (especially Apple and Grape) and Tobacco are grown. An important town by the 9th cent., Urmia was seized by the Seljuk Turks (1184), and later occupied a number of times by the Ottoman Turks.

Li presenta Michele Bravi, vincitore della settima edizione di XFactor Italia. Il fan rally precede il World Tour del 2016 che li vedrà suonare nelle più importanti arene mondiali.
Giovanissimi, i componenti della band hanno tra i 18 e 21 anni, sono spesso presi come esempio per l’impeccabile uso di social networks e piattaforme di condivisione musicale. Infatti hanno una delle fanbase più numerose del momento. Lo scorso maggio hanno partecipato a The Voice Of Italy, cantando con la futura vincitrice, Suor Cristina.
The Vamps sono un gruppo musicale pop rock britannico composto da Bradley Simpson (voce e chitarra), James McVey (chitarra), Connor Ball (basso) e Tristan Evans (batteria). Il gruppo si è formato nel 2012. I The Vamps hanno sostenuto i McFly nel loro Memory Lane Tour nella prima parte del 2013.

The Postcard
An image of part of the grounds of St. Joseph's Convent in Reading on a postcard which was posted in Reading on Monday the 20th. October 1919 to an address in Rue Marcadet, Paris.
The convent was founded in Reading, Berkshire in 1910, but since then it has undergone a name change - it is now a thriving independent Catholic day school for boys and girls aged 3 to 18 called St. Joseph's College.
Notable alumnae include two singers - Marianne Faithfull and Alma Cogan.
Virginia Woolf
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 20th. October 1919, a novel by Virginia Woolf was published for the first time. It is called 'Night and Day', and is set in Edwardian London.
The book contrasts the daily lives of two acquaintances, Katharine Hilbery and Mary Datchet, and examines the relationships between love, marriage, happiness and success.
Thoughts From Virginia Woolf
"One cannot think well, love well,
sleep well, if one has not dined well."
"Why are women so much more
interesting to men than men are
to women?"
"The eyes of others our prisons;
their thoughts our cages."
"I thought how unpleasant it is to
be locked out; and I thought how
it is worse, perhaps, to be locked in."
"Fiction is like a spider's web, attached
ever so slightly perhaps, but still attached
to life at all four corners. Often the
attachment is scarcely perceptible."
"It is fatal to be a man or woman pure
and simple: one must be a woman manly,
or a man womanly."
"Humour is the first of the gifts to perish
in a foreign tongue."
"Once conform, once do what other people
do because they do it, and a lethargy steals
over all the finer nerves and faculties of the
soul.
She becomes all outer show and inward
emptiness; dull, callous, and indifferent."
"Literature is strewn with the wreckage of
men who have minded beyond reason the
opinions of others."
"There is much to support the view that it
is clothes that wear us, and not we, them;
we may make them take the mould of arm
or breast, but they mould our hearts, our
brains, our tongues to their liking."
"Let a man get up and say, 'Behold, this is
the truth', and instantly I perceive a sandy
cat filching a piece of fish in the background.
Look, you have forgotten the cat, I say."
"On the outskirts of every agony sits
some observant fellow who points."
"One likes people much better when
they're battered down by a prodigious
siege of misfortune than when they
triumph."
"There can be no two opinions as to what
a highbrow is. He is the man or woman of
thoroughbred intelligence who rides his
mind at a gallop across country in pursuit
of an idea."
"If you do not tell the truth about yourself
you cannot tell it about other people."
"Some people go to priests; others to
poetry; I to my friends."
"For most of history, Anonymous
was a woman."
"If I can only note that the past is beautiful
because one never realises an emotion at
the time. It expands later, and thus we don't
have complete emotions about the present,
only about the past."
"To enjoy freedom we have to control
ourselves."
"Yet it is in our idleness, in our dreams,
that the submerged truth sometimes
comes to the top."
"Language is wine upon the lips."
"I read the book of Job last night, I
don't think God comes out well in it."
"Every secret of a writer's soul, every
experience of his life, every quality of
his mind is written large in his works."
"The truth is, I often like women. I like
their unconventionality. I like their
completeness. I like their anonymity."
"The history of men's opposition to
women's emancipation is more
interesting perhaps than the story
of that emancipation itself."
"The older one grows, the more
one likes indecency."
"One of the signs of passing youth
is the birth of a sense of fellowship
with other human beings as we take
our place among them."
"This soul, or life within us, by no
means agrees with the life outside us."
"I want the concentration and the romance,
and the worlds all glued together, fused,
glowing: have no time to waste any more
on prose."
"Masterpieces are not single and solitary
births; they are the outcome of many years
of thinking in common, of thinking by the
body of the people, so that the experience
of the mass is behind the single voice."
"A woman must have money and a room
of her own if she is to write fiction."
"I was in a queer mood, thinking myself
very old: but now I am a woman again -
as I always am when I write."
"I would venture to guess that Anon,
who wrote so many poems without
signing them, was often a woman."
"You cannot find peace by avoiding life."
"My own brain is to me the most
unaccountable of machinery -
always buzzing, humming, soaring
roaring diving, and then buried in
mud. And why? What's this passion
for?"
"Someone has to die in order that
the rest of us should value life more."
"The beauty of the world, which is so
soon to perish, has two edges, one of
laughter, one of anguish, cutting the
heart asunder."
"Nothing has really happened until
it has been recorded."
"These are the soul's changes. I don't
believe in ageing. I believe in forever
altering one's aspect to the sun. Hence
my optimism."
"Mental fight means thinking against
the current, not with it. It is our business
to puncture gas bags and discover the
seeds of truth."
"It is far more difficult to murder
a phantom than a reality."
"Really I don't like human nature
unless all candied over with art."
"The telephone, which interrupts the
most serious conversations and cuts
short the most weighty observations,
has a romance of its own."
"Boredom is the legitimate
kingdom of the philanthropic."
"If we help an educated man's daughter
to go to Cambridge are we not forcing
her to think not about education but
about war? - not how she can learn, but
how she can fight in order that she might
win the same advantages as her brothers?"
"The man who is aware of himself is
henceforward independent; and he is never
bored, and life is only too short, and he is
steeped through and through with a
profound yet temperate happiness."
"That great Cathedral space which
was childhood."
"This is an important book, the critic
assumes, because it deals with war.
This is an insignificant book because
it deals with the feelings of women
in a drawing-room."
"It seems as if an age of genius must
be succeeded by an age of endeavour;
riot and extravagance by cleanliness
and hard work."
"Yet, it is true, poetry is delicious; the
best prose is that which is most full
of poetry."
"It's not catastrophes, murders, deaths,
diseases, that age and kill us; it's the way
people look and laugh, and run up the
steps of omnibuses."
"Life is not a series of gig lamps
symmetrically arranged; life is a
luminous halo, a semi-transparent
envelope surrounding us from the
beginning of consciousness to the
end."

I've recently published this image for a cool Bogotá-based magazine called Bacánika.
The topic is how young professionals have to deal with the task of being young bosses, and thrive in their own enterprises; what means: Not born to be an employee.
Recientemente publiqué esta imagen para una revista bogotana bastante cool llamada Bacánika.
El tema es la situación que enfrentan jóvenes profesionales que no desean ser empleados, y deciden ser jefes, o sus propios jefes en sus propias empresas.

Constance Mackness (1882-1973), teacher and author, was born on 17 June 1882 at Tuena, New South Wales.
Constance became the first female dux of the Fort Street Model School, matriculating in 1898 with honours in French, and winning one of only three university bursaries available to girls. In 1902 she graduated B.A. from the University of Sydney with first-class honours in English, French and history and a prize for physiography, taught by Professor (Sir) Edgeworth David, who also gave her the grounding for her retirement hobby, conchology.
Constance Mackness published ten books, all of them about young people, and wrote 'pars', articles and short stories for the Bulletin and local papers.

Hagerstown, Indiana (September 10, 2012) The new Model T Ford Museum is slated to hold its grand opening during Richmond’s Octoberfest on September 28 at 6 p.m. The museum which was previously located in Centerville, Indiana near the Warm Glow Candle Factory for 5 years moved just a few miles east to Richmond, Indiana’s Historical Depot District this past spring.
Since the move to Richmond volunteers have been steadily preparing the museum’s new home, displays and vehicles for the event.
Today, a photo shoot for the Model T Museum’s newly acquired 1930 Pietenpol Sky Scout was held at the Hagerstown Airport.
The plan arrived at the airport around 10:00 a.m. this morning and was assembled by Model T enthusiasts and many of them brought their own Model Ts to use during the photo shoot.
One of the people there today was Mr. Jay Klehfoth who is the CEO and publisher of the Vintage Ford Magazine.
Jay is a walking encyclopedia when it comes to all things Model T. I was to learn he’s pretty knowledgeable in a lot of areas too. During our walk around of the plane Jay pointed out one of the parts for the engine had been made by a former factory in Richmond of all places. And there are many other special things about this airplane I’m sure he’ll be writing about in the next issue of the the Vintage Ford Magazine. He not only knew a lot about the Pietenpol Sky Scout plane that was being photographed for the magazine cover. He’s pretty sharp when it comes to airports too. He said that the Hagerstown airport were today’s photo shoot was done has the longest grass landing strip in the United States which to me made it the perfect place for today’s event.
This Pietenpol that will be on display at the museum is powered by a 20 HP Model T engine which was modified to include dual-ignition which is used in aviation. According to an article in the AntiqueAirfield.com website from September 10, 2012 there was only one original Pietenpol Sky Scout built by Bernard Pietenpol himself, and just two replicas. The article also said that all 3 were still flying.
The new Model T Ford Museum is going to be an exciting addition to what is one of Indiana’s grandest historical areas and a must in this part of the Midwest.
Richmond is a perfect place for any day trip. But, if you want to see all that Richmond has to offer you’ll need to plan on staying several days.
The Model T Ford Museum is located in Richmond’s Historic Depot District at 309 N 8th St, Richmond, IN 47374 - 765-488-0026.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Seven metres at 13:15pm on Tuesday 10th October 2023 off the Mall and Horse Guards Road within the grounds of St James's Park in Central London, one of the Royal parks of London situated in South West London.
This is a pair of Great White Pelicans (Pelecanus Onocrotalus), of which there are six beautiful individuals now residing in St James's Park. Weighing in at roughly 11kgs, they have wingspans of up to three metres and a six foot body length. They are also known as the Eastern white pelican, Rosy Pelican or White Pelican and are found mostly in Southeastern Europe, Asia and the African swamps and lakes.
First introduced to St James's Park in 1664 as a gift from the Russian Ambassador, over 40 pelicans have since made the park home.

Without the sun the astonishing colour of the clear waters of Nellie Lake isn’t evident, but it’s still a beautiful lake.

EC Comics Reprints
By Michael Vance
Boys experience profound moments that shape their lives. They learn parents aren’t perfect, and that girls are something other.
I bought the farm in ’65.
On that farm, aliens were landing. In and around me, it created no small stir.
With the farm came the secret horror of eternal youth, a murderer aboard a spaceship filled with sleeping beauties, and a baby slain on the banks of Saint George Bay. The ‘farm’ I’d bought was a story in a paperback comics collection, “Tales of the Incredible”.
That paperback taught me that comics could be excellent literature. Eventually, I learned these stories I’d loved were reprinted from “Weird Science”, “Weird Fantasy” and “Weird Science-Fantasy”, comic published by EC.
EC published these and more than a dozen titles in the early ‘50s, as well as “Mad” and a forgotten humor title, “Panic”. Imagine my joy when I found EC's horror comics, “The Vault of Horror”, “The Haunt of Fear”, and “Tales from the Crypt (now an HBO TV series).
Guess my horror at the prince of a single original issue of these rare books!
Prepare for a profound moment. Russ Cochran, Publisher, began reprinting all of these anthology comics in the ‘70s. The “EC Library” is now available in oversized, hardcover sets with slipcovers, most priced at over $100. The library includes “Crime Suspenstories”, “Shock Suspenstories”, “Two Fisted Tales”, “Frontline Combat”, and EC’s SF and humor titles. One hodge-podge set offers “MD”, “Impact”, Psychoanalysis”, “Aces High”, “Extra!”, “Valor” and “Piracy”.
You may order by mail or through a comics shop now that boys have become men. But remember, you’ve learned parents are completely fallible and girls are (shudder) more than something other. Your illusions are shattered.
On the farm I bought, aliens still land, and in and around me, EC still creates no small stir!
