American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Was in Belgium visiting family/sightseeing and was lucky to get a taste of Belgian comics culture in Brussels.
Visited the three floor (with comics library!) museum, saw a few comics murals, and picked up a few albums for myself.

The Halloween and casserole crossover content you crave.
I made Vincent Price’s “Supper Casserole” recipe (and learned a valuable lesson along the way)
Straight from the pages of the January 1971 issue of Family Circle magazine!

Been watching SLOW HORSES so thought to dip into SID & NANCY (1986), realized Gary Oldham’s career arc went from playing heroin junkie to negligible personal hygiene habits super-spy and I’m now wondering if it’s the same character

Today’s pickups courtesy of the Atomic Records pop-up: 2 comps, one with Milw. bands, one of post-punk NYC scenesters, taking a flyer on the Garland Jeffreys LP, and have seen “(We Don’t Need This) Fascist Groove Thang” referenced a few times recently so felt like stumbling on a copy was kismet

Seeing early performances by Christopher Walken and Jeff Goldblum (both verrrrry much in precursors to what they’re known for) was an added bonus, Sigourney Weaver is there too but you really have to look hard
