It's Friday night. I think it's time or a saucy little broadcast.

Tonight, Dr. Rev. Gary Jackson ushers in Valentine's Day with innuendos, live callers, and songs from Prince, Faith No More, Van Halen, and more.

Phew! With everything going on this weekend I almost forgot that it was also Friday the 13th! So here's a super quick n' dirty new painting of that special boy Jason for his special day!

It's a great career accomplishment of Bud Cort's that he had one of the absolute funniest line deliveries in any Wes Anderson movie with "We fuckin' stole it, man."

In Christopher Guest's films alone, she made the most of so many opportunities to show off that she was both very good at singing, and very good at singing badly.
I can't help laughing when she starts singing ❤️💔

So terrible to lose Catherine O'Hara, but so wonderful to revisit her genius

The thing that struck me while watching Best In Show last night, is if you took a total neophyte who had never heard of or seen any of these actors, you could almost certainly convince them it's a real doc pretty much until Fred Willard shows up
This tribute is so touching, to me

What O'Hara and Levy brought to these characters, in particular, just floors me. They're only one of three plot threads in A Mighty Wind, but the unspoken yearning, this love that's more beautiful for being lost... they're devastatingly funny, but also just devastating.

Catherine O’Hara didn’t steal scenes she just showed up and ownership automatically defaulted to her

The way she mouths his lines as he's saying them in a perfectly community theater way is chef kiss.

Catherine O'Hara's eulogy for John Candy just hits harder today.

@theisb.bsky.social @wellgoshacs.bsky.social Thank you both for sharing what a good girl Biscuit was with the rest of us. She was so well loved by you guys that a whole lot of people she never met loved her too.

I'm not okay with a world that doesn't have Catherine O'Hara in it. I have always believed there's a very good chance she's the funniest performer in history. Like, ever.

Another piece for the Made You Look comic art show. I thought it might be interesting to display something of my process, so I did this succession of Elvis poses, each at a different stage of the painting process by which I do Makeshift Man pages (and all my other watercolor work, for that matter.)

ARE YOU SCARED OF A FUCKING WHISTLE DAWG
one of the agents said “okay we know” when we were whistling so i leaned in and whistled louder and he threatened to pepper spray me. i then said “are you scared of a fucking whistle dawg” and he very meekly said “no i’m not scared of a whistle”

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

I don’t let bullies win.

Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

Rubbing my hands desperately over the tiny spark that is Gallego referring to Miller as "that creep" and hoping we can stoke that fire back into calling them all weird again.
