Posting about Johnny Carson, Charles Willeford, Jack Vance, Chester Himes and the NPR Tiny Desk blurring out Juvie Juice scandal.
I still have a maxtor drive full of 15 year old video projects and fire it up once in a while for archeological purposes. The housing failed at one point but the old girl is still spinning.

Fredric Brown could qualify, though he did get one reprinted during that first wave of Black Lizard. Do people know The Fabulous Clipjoint or The Lenient Beast?

Well people think they know Cain, but no one ever talks about Serenade. He wrote a lot of bad books but I’ll argue that Serenade is the best he wrote.

Loving this pastel Chester Himes/Harvey Kurtzman thing Bob was working with. Bob Smith sounds like it could be a pseudonym.
