Susanna Clark - It Had to Come From the Heart.

Her name was Susanna Clark.  She was married to one of my songwriting heroes, Guy Clark.  

Here they are back around 1970 or so.

She was a painter.  She painted this.

And she painted that old blue shirt behind Guy.

She was a songwriter too.  She wrote this one.

She passed away last Wednesday.

I never met her.  But I understand her and Guy's connection was something fierce and real.

My songwriting hero's being slapped in the face and punched in the gut tonight.

My thoughts go out to you, Guy.

Talk to you soon.

San Diego Countdown part 2!

6 more days have passed in my Facebook page cartoons counting down the days until San Diego ComicCon International 2012!

We're all a-twitter here about it.  The schedule for events on Thursday were formally announced yesterday, and without even seeing the next 3 days of events, I know that Unca Jeffy is gonna be one tired boy!

Some were confused by this one, thinking I was hoping to meet Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo and the 2 Chris's from the movie...no no no...I want to meet the ACTUAL Avengers.

And likewise...I'm not mad at Green Lantern...I'm mad at the movie makers.

3 grades of Hollywood's takes on super-heroes.  Good, Bad and WTF!!!!  Luckily Superman can handle a gut shot now and then.  I'm just confused on why we have to "reboot" Spider-Man 5 minutes after the first 3 came out.  And...Peter Parker's parents??????????? in 50 years of the comic?  Never heard of 'em!

My wave at the Twilight gang for my boss' boss.  I almost had my balloon mentioning "True Blood", but then I found out that they were two different things.  Again, who knew?

Star Trek, Star Wars and all thingies outer-spacey...a geeks dream.

I miss my Harvey comics.  That's all there is to it.  Casper the friendly ghost, Spooky the tuff little ghost, Richie Rich the poor little rich boy, Hot Stuff the good little devil, Big Baby Huey and the rest.  No I didn't forget Stumbo the Giant, the cartoon was just too small.

Did I mention, I'm excited?

Talk to you soon.

"Jeffy Gets the Lay of the Land!"

Jeffy gets schooled on what that little blue guy is and what he does...he and his buddies, that is.

More tomorrow.

Talk to you soon.

"Another Interlude with Cousin Frank & Bigfoot!"

Another brief interlude in the tale of "What's Inside Jeff Overturf's Head".  Maybe I'll rename it "The Intermezzo of Cousin Frank & Bigfoot" instead.

I wanted to title this episode "Okie Dokie Smokey" in the great tradition of Hanna-Barbera Cartoon titles, but mostly in honor of all those one page gags in Archie/Harvey/Dell/Whitman/Gold Key comics I grew up with.  Long in rhyme or alliteration, but short in meaning or substance.

Just like me.

Oh...here's the theme song...

Talk to you soon!

"The Saga Continues: Inside Jeff Overturf's Head!"

The next 2 pages of the continuing saga of "What's Inside Jeff Overturf's Head" or "WTF Got Loose in Here?".  

If you so desire to keep up on what's transpired thus far, click here!  Just remember, that the posts will be in reverse order this way.  Should I ever come to a conclusion, I'll do a stand-alone page.

Mainly though, thanks for reading.

More tomorrow.

Talk to you soon!
