The Bus continues to be . . .:

http://ascandaily.tumblr.com/post/52935277547/the-bus-continues-to-be-a-really-entertaining-look

The Bus continues to be a really entertaining look at the commute. It’s very basic and completely silent, but the punchlines always make sense and completely subvert expectations.

Finding a comic that very well could have been a syndicated Sunday cartoon in a counter-cultural anthology magazine aimed at people who were as far from that experience as it was possible to be at the time is very strange.

The Pirate-Warden of Richmond

Fri, 14 Jun 2013 09:58:12 -0400

The Pirate-Warden of Richmond:

Capt. George Washington Alexander was a pirate, a playwright, a torturer – and one of the most fascinating characters of the Civil War.

Captain Alexander looked like a pirate — and in fact he was a pirate. He was also a playwright, a poet, a songwriter, an escaped convict and a crooked prison warden who ran an elaborate scheme to extract bribes from his more affluent inmates.

… .

Captain Alexander sometimes dropped by to show his latest poems to the inmates. “By praising his poetry,” Lewis noted, “it was easy to keep on the right side of him.”

Also addenda.

As copped from the link:

“…in Richmond, or in any Southern city for that matter, you do see types now and then which depart from the norm. The South is full of eccentric characters; it still fosters individuality. And the most individualistic are of course from the land, from the out of the way places.”

— Henry Miller,
“The Air-Conditioned Nightmare” (1945)

… .

Richmond is less than 100 miles from Our Nation’s Capital, which in pre-digital days was still worlds away from the major centers of the Counter Culture on the West Coast and in NYC, and that remove forced us to interpret and synthesize a take on the zeitgeist that was uniquely our own.
