Barney Miller was always a favorite show of mine as a kid, and one of the rare shows that, while dated, still really holds up. I wish there were more seasons available on DVD.
By the way, the first person to tell me about Hulu, Vudu, Netflix Instant or FuckU or whatever else video streaming service: I stab you in the face. Deal? Okay.
Even before I started posting everyday, I had been watching the show Get Smart on DVD as I draw. I recently started on Season 2. I still don’t particularly like the show, or find it all that funny, but I find it really pleasant to have on while I work.
I also noticed, while looking at photo reference, that Maxwell Smart/Don Adams shares a lot of physical similarities with former Justice League International benefactor and current DCU boogeyman Maxwell Lord.
Just sayin’.
Henry Rollins essentially saved my life. 10 years ago or so, my girlfriend at the time dumped me and I was pretty sure there was no point to anything anymore. My friends all did their best to make sure I stayed busy and helped keep my mind off the situation, but I had to be alone at some point. One such friend gave me a bunch of Rollin’s spoken work tapes, and another friend gave me some Black Flag records. For about two months, I’d say that’s pretty much all I listened to, and it helped me get through the rough patches and eventually move on. It also made me a huge Rollins fan.
Henry turns 50 today. Happy Birthday, Rollins.
If you would have bet me 100 dollars that Telly Savalas was not in the movie Annie, you’d be 100 dollars richer. I swear to Christ I thought he was in that movie. So when our new Ok, PANIC! topic was revealed to be Little Orphan Annie, all I new about the character was Daddy Warbucks – as played by Telly Savalas. In my head. Apparently that isn’t so, and that made this drawing pointless to the topic. So here we go, one of my few attempts at a caricature of a (formerly) living person, in his most famous role (since apparently he never played Daddy Warbucks), Kojak! Who loves you, indeed?
Anyway, go check out Little Orphan Annie week at Ok, PANIC! to see what I came up with instead, as well as my partners in crime.
This week on Gutter Trash: Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang
Night Court is one of my all-time favorite television shows. That’s all you need to know.
