In the tradition of those 1/2 page blackout gags in humor comic of old, it's time for another visit with "Cousin Frank and Bigfoot"!
Talk to you soon.
A daily almanac of events and people I admire and appreciate. All things, and the people who did things, that were WORTH DOING! Songs and Cartoons and near-insane ramblings by me, too.

"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...

"An Interlude with Cousin Frank and Bigfoot!"
While Jeffy is struggling with his own psyche, the rest of his world or course, keeps right on turning. Let's take a brief interlude from his trials and peek in on "Ye Olde Drink Hole" and see how Cousin Frank and his best pal Bigfoot are doing.
Wait...there's even a theme song. :)...c'mon, it's like 8 seconds long, it's not gonna kill ya!
There's a closing theme, too. C'mon...you're invested THIS far.
Back to our story next week.
Talk to you soon!

...more to come...

Adventure Comics - "The Hour-Man"!
Time for another post in my on-going "A 'Slight' History of the Golden Age of Comic Book Super Heroes", every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday inside my head. Hit the A'S'HGACBSH label below to see what's come so far, or just start here and...whatever.
The next hero after The Sandman to color up the pages of National (DC) Comics "Adventure Comics" was a mild-mannered chemist by day, Ray "Tick-Tock" Tyler who invented "Miraclo" which when taken in handy pill form, gave Tyler the power of 10 men for sixty minutes. For 1/24th of a day, he would become "The Hour-man"!! I think Rusty would like him.
With the advent of every hero on the block having a kid sidekick, Hourman was no exception, though instead of just a lone boy in a copycat costume, Tyler was given a team of boys. A loyal bunch of junior fan-boys called "The Minutemen of America" who aided our man of the hour.
Created by Ken Fitch and Bernard Bailey (just like Sandman), Hour-man debuted in "Adventure Comics" #48 in 1940 and would soon become (again...like Sandman) one of the 8 charter members in The Justice Society of America, comics' fist ever superhero team.
Here he is in a sweet little solo adventure with giant-robot-flame-throwing-dinosaurs from Adventure Comics #61.
Ride along with the Minute Men of America and have some fun!

Bigfoot Knows His Feminine Side
Jeffy, his nephew Scott and Frank slowly soothe Bigfoot's jangled nerves... 
Sigh! I'll finally get the habit of meeting deadlines down, but it'll be a week after I'm dead.

Meanwhile, Back at The Drink Hole...
Nephew Scottie drops by the Drink Hole for a visit with his Ol' Unca Jeffy...
"Well...." said Jeffy, "I tell ya Scottie...it ain't been an easy road!"
"Lay it on me, my brotha! Rest your worries on MY shoulders for a while!" replied the sympathetc and empathetic nephew.
And so Jeffy explained.
Jeffy continued, "You know I have quite the wide spectrum of friends that I hang out with."
"And how!" answered the enthusiastic and caring younger family member. "You said a mouthful there!", he added.
A somber-toned, grim-visaged Jeffy began his tale of woe, "It all started back in October of last year, when my old buddy Mark…
“…announced out of nowhere that he was leaving Southern California for the wilds of Austin, Texas."
"Well...." said Jeffy, "I tell ya Scottie...it ain't been an easy road!"

“…announced out of nowhere that he was leaving Southern California for the wilds of Austin, Texas."
*here for his goodbye*
“Wait a minute, Jeffy!” interrupted the listening Scottie, “Isn’t this a strange new narrative style you’re using?”
“Shut up and listen!” said the perturbed and forlorn Uncle with impatience, “I’ll do the story telling around here!”
Scottie sat back, took a sip of his beer and let the story wash over him in the manner it was meant to be.
“This”, Jeffy continued, “Was just before a rogue Superman who had been exposed to red kryptonite from Rusty’s fillings, dressed up like Herbie and tried to kill me!”
“…but that’s another story for another day.”
They both took long pulls off of their beers, wetting their pallets AND their minds for the fascinating story to continue to unfold.
“I took it kind of hard,” resumed Jeffy after taking a deep whistly breath through his nose, “and I decided to do some reorganization in the blog. Maybe it was just too much heartbreak to have friends….maybe I just wasn’t cut out for it.”
*see here for the full post*
“Where I made my big mistake . I was singing the praises of only having imaginary friends, rather than real ones…
*see full post here*
“…and when Bigfoot overheard me…” Jeffy stopped his flow for another question from the confused listener.
“Bigfoot?” queried the young buck, his shock of dirty blonde hair striking a quizzical poise atop his head.
“Yeah, Bigfoot.”, retorted Jeffy, somewhat nonplused. “Back when The Mysterious Shadowy Figure wanted to abduct me on behalf of The Illuminati, he brought Bob the Alien and Bigfoot with him as hired muscle. Luckily Willie Nelson intervened, and afterwards, Bigfoot stayed on as a bouncer here at ‘Ye Olde Drink Hole’ and Bob stayed on as a bar-fly”
*See here for…ah nevermind, just hit the “Illuminati” label to the left, you can read it all*
“Anyway”, the by-now weary story-teller finished, “long story short is, I made Bigfoot cry and now Jesus and Superman are all mad at me.”
*See full post here*
More tomorrow.

"Of Hard Drives and Illuminati" 2 of 2 - 2010 "Best" of My Blog
As I continue re-posting some of my favorite posts of the past year, here's the exciting conclusion to the tale of how The Illuminati tried to kill me and then changed their minds, from a week in April 2010.
Our Story: While the Mysterious Shadowy Figure confabs with Jeffy, Bigfoot and Bob the Alien enjoy the ambiance of The Drink Hole from the other end of the bar...
You'll see that as the story played out, the action shifted every other day between Bigfoot and Bob drinking at the end of the bar awaiting the order to do away with me, and Marco "The Mysterious Shadowy Figure" Torre explaining the situation to me...at some point, Superman tried to intervene on my behalf...
Our Story:...While Jeffy has a word with the Mysterious Shadowy Figure, Superman comes to his aid!
Meanwhile, Rusty set her sites on the "new meat" in her hunting grounds...
Our story: Bigfoot and Bob the Alien mingle with the "Normals"...Rusty makes her move!
As "The Mysterious Shadowy Figure" continued to try and strike fear into my heart, Jeffy reminds him there's a blog to be written here...
Our story:...The Mysterious Shadowy Figure is about to exact retribution from Jeffy when...
...here is where I did my tribute to "Mandrake, the Magician" and "The Phantom" creator Lee Falk on his birthday...I've excluded it here for the sake of the tightly woven story playing out around it...
Now back to out thrilling, edge-of-your seat serial!
Bob the Alien and Bigfoot learn about "bar tabs"...
Our story thus far: While The Mysterious Shadowy Figure struggles with making Jeffy take his threats seriously, Bigfoot and Bob the Alien realize they have more "real world" issues...
Jeffy's Angels are a very generous, charitable and giving lot for most things...but ya gotta pay fer yer own beer, boys!
If you want to dance, you've gotta pay the piper...if you buy the land, you've gotta deal with the Indians!
Our story thus far: The Mysterious Shadowy Figure tires of Jeffy's lolly gagging...and Jeffy likewise the Mysterious Shadowy Figure's!
...which turned out to be a VERY bad thing for Marco.
Our Story thus far: - The Mysterious Shadowy Figure, Bigfoot and Bob the Alien, ostensibly working for The Illuminati, track Jeffy down to The Drink Hole and accuse him of not paying proper homage to them in his "Ode" to his blog for repairing his damaged hard drive. Willie Nelson plays The Drink Hole Amphitheatre on his birthday and...
From Wikipedia: - Illuminati (plural of Latin illuminatus, "enlightened") is a name that refers to several groups, both historical and modern, and both real and fictitious. Historically, it refers specifically to the Bavarian Illuminati, an Enlightenment-era secret society founded on May 1, 1776. In modern times it is also used to refer to a purported conspiratorial organization which acts as a shadowy "power behind the throne", allegedly controlling world affairs through present day governments and corporations usually as a modern incarnation or continuation of the Bavarian Illuminati. In this context, Illuminati is often used in reference to a New World Order. Many conspiracy theorists believe the Illuminati are the masterminds behind events that will lead to the establishment of such a New World Order.
From Jeffy's Head: - The Illuminati would be an organization of Artisans and Scientists who would like to lead the world to embrace the arts and sciences as the highest pinnacle of man's experience - and in doing so would do away with petty human trifles which cause anguish, grief and all human suffering (up to and including needless death) caused by bureaucracies and organized religion. Up with the enlightened, down with the ignorant time and life wasters, say I!
From Jeffy's Head Addendum: - In my mind the Illuminati would include membership by such art and science minded people as Stephen Hawking, Willie Nelson, Steve Jobs and Jerry Beck. Ryan Seacrest may or may not be a member, but if he is, he was "kissed in" by a former member, much the same way he gets to host "Rockin' New Years Eve".
Well...wasn't that a fun waste of time? I thought so!

And so we all lived happily ever after...all thanks to Willie Nelson. It's all a pretty true story...kind of.
