True; The Royals
By Michael Vance
TRUE! 143 pages & $12.95 from Plan Nine Publishing. Sold in book stores, comic shops and on the internet at www.plannine.com.
Seventy-five percent of hardcore comic book and strip fans will not think TRUE! is a comic book or comic strip. (Source: I made it up). But ninety-nine percent will enjoy it. (Source: Daryl Cagle’s talent).
TRUE! is an “Encyclopedia Of Amazing Facts About Us All” compiled in single-panel cartoons by prolific cartoonist Daryl Cagle.
These statistical “facts” cover everything from what scents arouse males to which pretzel shapes are preferred by men or women. If you are not excited yet, these facts were culled from such diverse sources as The Book of Lists, Harper’s Index and The Roper Organization. As example, did you know that after criticism over “Teen Talk Barbie” [the doll] who said ‘Math class is tough’, Mattel [the toy manufacturer] introduced teacher Barbie? No? Were you in the know that after only two weeks in show business [the horse] Bamboo Harvester’s name was changed to Mr. Ed [for the television show] and he was castrated? Neigh? Do you still doubt that the reviewer’s promise that ninety-nine percent of TRUE! readers will enjoy this anthology?
Oh true unbeliever, this is because you have not seen Cagle’s interpretation of dry statistic through wry art. Cagle’s art and approach seem heavily influenced by Mad magazine in its lunatic heyday as filtered through the cartoonists own life experiences and beliefs. His minimalist style adds a sparkle and visual wit to these boring statistics that transforms each fact into delightful fancy. His tools are exaggeration, his vivid imagination, and a wonderful sense of what is visually funny.
TRUE!, while not exactly a laugh factory, is nevertheless recommended for quiet fun and reflection.
MINIVIEW: The Royals [Plan 9 Publishing]. A comic strip that is as humorless as the British royal family it satirizes. What is funny in one nation does not always translate into yucks in another, even when the language in both is English.

(just one opinion)
The real cause for concern here
Amidst this explosion of societal ills--
Random shootings, theft, rape and murder--
Is the lack of people with parenting skills.
Teaching what's right and what's wrong--
And to your elders showing respect,
And when the kid says something that's way out of line--
Grab'em and shake'em by the neck.
And let's not neglect that foul language.
Before puberty is no time to curse.
Sure they hear it on TV and the internet,
But when a five year-old says it: far worse.
But the lesson that crime doesn't pay
Is up there with not beating your spouse.
Also, letting your dog crap in your neighbor's front yard,
Or torturing people you keep in your house.
Just remember whatever we do as adults,
Is a result of come childhood neglect.
So whenever a criminal is locked up in a cell,
The same treatment, Mom and Dad should expect.

(+2 in comments) 38 of 365 – Candidly shot this mother & son at a pancake breakfast. As soon as I saw them I knew they had a very special relationship and did my best to capture it.
Of course, I asked permission from the mom first.

True Blue, and looking so new too! With ebay you can buy back the '80s, hehe! This arrived today, still in its original shrinkwrap.
Although I knew all of Madonna's hits by heart as they danced their way across the radio waves, one after the next... and although I counted her among my favorites from Lucky Star and Borderline on, I was never much of a record buyer as a kid. I preferred to spend my money on toys even up through high school (ok, I still like spending my money on toys!). So I never had anything by Madonna on vinyl. Boo hoo. But eventually I collected all of her albums on CD. For a long time, True Blue wasn't a favorite of mine. But lately I can't stop listening to it. It's in the CD player in my car, it's on my ipod. And the cover is probably the most breathtaking of all of her records. This is totally frameable! CDs are cool, ipods are cool, even cassette tapes and walkmans are cool, but there's nothing quite like a vinyl record for maxiumum coolness!
I always loved Open Your Heart, Papa Don't Preach, Live To Tell and True Blue - I still love those songs and can lisgten to them again and again. But White Heat is amazing, and Love Makes The World Go Round just makes you feel so good when you hear it. Where's the Party is energy overload, and Jimmy Jimmy is just goofy fun. Somehow True Blue went from being one of my least favorite Madonna records to one of my favorites. Ok, so I have like 5 favorites, hehe, but some of her albums are just better than others. And sometimes you go through phases where you can't get enough of one of them. Right now... True Blue, baby, I love you.
What's your favorite Madonna album?
The series True Blood season dvd follows Sookie Stackhouse, a barmaid living in Louisiana who can read people's minds, and how her life is turned upside down when the Vampire Bill, walks into her place of employment two years after vampires 'came out of the coffin' on national television...
The power of advertising enforcing a cultural identity .. should go down well . Here boy ( calling the dog ) .

True Diversity Dinner, Snow Goose Restaurant, Anchorage, Alaska, September 25, 2009. The True Diversity Dinner was sponsored by several Alaska bloggers and information lists who had been active in the summer 2009 fight for the Anchorage equal rights ordinance A) 2009-64. After the ordinance passed but was then vetoed by Mayor Dan Sullivan, we decided to hold the dinner as an alternative to the Mayor's Unity Dinner (renamed from what used to by the Mayor's Diversity Dinner), because, we decided, "we all deserve a seat at the table." For further information, see the True Diversity Dinner website or my posts about the dinner www.henkimaa.com/tag/true-diversity-dinner/.
