Mark Fiore takes us inside
the dark little club in a cellar around the corner from the
Supreme Court.

It

The Comic Strip Curmudgeon
utters a sequence of words
that has almost certainly never been constructed before.
Comic Strip of the Day discovers
an example of the misuse of an artist's work – and
it doesn't end badly. Bet you didn't see that one coming.
And while we're on that subject, the
Facebook page for Young Americans for Liberty posted this
cartoon on their timeline in late June (although it appears to be
gone from the page now), with the artist's name removed and the
content of the image severly edited. Here's
the original from 2011 by Arend van Dam. Given the removal of the
artist's name, plus the editing of the image to change the whole
point of the original, I'm guessing that the alteration and use of
the original happened without van Dam's permission. (Aren't
libertarians supposed to revere the sacred nature of property
rights?) True, the initial theft may have happened far upstream from
the folks at YAL, but it only took me about a two minutes with Tin
Eye to track the original down. Just thinking out loud.
Acceleratii Incredibus
versus Carnivorous Vulgaris: And if you're our kind
of reader, you know what that means. "Fast
and Furry-ous," directed in 1949 by Chuck Jones from a story by
Michael Maltese, is the first of the Roadrunner/Wile E. Coyote
shorts. Uncredited voice work by Portland's Own Mel Blanc as the
Coyote (or rather, according to IMDB, the "Coyote effects,"
and you-know-him-you-just-don't-know-you-know-him
voice actor Paul Julian as the Roadrunner. Watch
"Fast and Furry-ous" on Vimeo.

Ex-Oregonian Jack Ohman wins the
Don Martin
Award for Outstanding Individual Achievement in the Field of
Onomatopoeia.
Theoretically Ex-Oregonian Jen
Sorensen shows how much our
heritage depends upon double negatives. You won't be unsurprised.
Matt Bors asks
the
questions no one dares ask.
Jesse Springer points out that
not many out
there would envy Oregon its three consecutive years of drought
and this summer's record-breaking heat.
