Inhuman Relations

Hey there! New strips are in the hopper, and I’ll try to update a little more frequently this week (more than once!). Things should be getting back to normal pretty soon, and then I’ll only be missing ONE day per week, instead of all five. Ah, normalcy.

And in other news:

It’s been almost a year since I last put out a book of cartoons, so I figure … what the hell … I’ll do it again!

I’m working on the second “Inhuman Relations” book right now (okay, not *right* now, since I had to stop in order to type this, but you get the point). Also! There will be bonus material especially for the book, if you’re into that sort of thing.

The book should be out sometime next month.

I will now close with a quote from those great philosophers The Cornelius Brothers (and Sister Rose), who once said: “It’s too late to turn back now — baybeh — AhbelieveAhbelieveAhbelieve I’m falling in loooove”.

I know this quote has nothing to do with this post. But are you going to argue with the Cornelius Brothers (and Sister Rose)? Not a chance.

Cartoon will be up tomorrow. That is all!

Okay, no, that’s not all. Here’s a clip from the movie “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying”. THAT is all!

I hate to leave everyone hanging like this, but new strips are on the way. Promise!

On a side note, did anybody see the White House Correspondents’ Dinner? Obama made a killer joke about targeting the Jonas Brothers with predator drones …

Now this is the kind of truly edgy comedy we rarely see anymore. Think about it. Obama has authorized predator drone strikes in Pakistan and Afghanistan which have resulted in the wanton slaughter of innocent men, women and children. And here he is joking about using those predator drones on the Jonas Brothers if they try anything funny with his daughters! We haven’t seen this kind of bold, daring humor from a sitting president since LBJ made that crack about using napalm on George Hamilton. Heyoooo!

Inhuman Relations returns on Monday, so here is the last YouTube post of the week. But because it’s the last, I’m just gonna throw a bunch of great stuff at you and assume that you will enjoy at least some of it.

First, James Cagney goes psycho in prison upon learning of his mom’s death in this clip from “White Heat”:

===========

After Barbara Stanwyck’s father tries unsuccessfully to pimp her out to a local city official (as a bribe in order to keep his speakeasy open), Barbara has a few choice words for him … from the 1933 film “Baby Face”:

===========

Olivia de Havilland gets brutal with Bette Davis (from the 1964 horror classic “Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte”):

===========

And last but not least … Kirk Douglas, giving his appraisal of Sarah Palin. This may be the single greatest YouTube clip of all time:

Today’s clip is another classic “Get Smart” moment, where Max and 99 get some theatrical training so they can infiltrate a nefarious KAOS plot. (tip o’ the hat to reader Long Tom for the suggestion)
