OPEN POST: Kathy Griffin's Stunt Queen Antics!

By Dora Winifred July 11, 2026

Kathy Griffin caused quite a stir yesterday when she shared photos of her and her alleged new 22-year old piece on Instagram. She posted the above photo with the caption, "He's 22. Have at it, internet." And have at it, they did. Many commenters were grossed out that 65-year old Griffin would date someone 43 years her junior. Others pointed out that many of her male contemporaries do the same thing every day and no one bats an eyelash. I mean, Al Pacino and Robert de Niro are having babies in their 80s for Chrissakes! Others congratulated Griffin and said she should get it! Which camp did you fall into, Peckers? Griffin shared a new post confirming that it had all been a stunt. The young man was simply helping Griffin with her security. But she had some great commentary on the feedback she received: Oh Kathy, never change! Source: kathygriffin on Instagram

OPEN POST: Pour A Little Sugar On It, Honey!

By AK July 08, 2026

I think this is a '69 Lincoln Continental, but whatever it is, it's a damn boat. In 1969, the #1 song of the year was "Sugar, Sugar" by The Archies and though I like the song, it seems these "Archies" were a fictional cartoon band. I mean, I knew it was the soundtrack from a cartoon, though get this, huge music professionals were behind it. It's a great song and this video's trippy as hell: So pour a little sugar on it, honey, pour a little sugar on it, baby--after all, it's Open Post, darlings! Photo Credit: AK

OPEN POST: Sunday Comics With "Hi and Lois!"

By Bree Daniels July 05, 2026

Remember "Hi and Lois?" I only have faint memories of it, but I'm sure I'm alone in that since it achieved blockbuster status and critical acclaim as a daily strip in nationwide newspapers and comic books for nearly 40 years. That's quite a run! It premiered in 1954, or a good six years before the similar "Family Circle," both of which relied heavily on innocent childhood shenanigans and family comedy. Yet as I soon realized when I first discovered "Hi and Lois," while "Family Circus" is told strictly from a child's point-of-view, "Hi and Lois" is very much told from an adult perspective, exploring the stresses of suburban life - a new way to live in the postwar 1950s - and how raising teenagers alongside toddlers could create conflict. The strip is very light on its feet, but just beneath the surface, there's a surprising degree of anxiety, which was new to the comics' depiction of family life. Jointly created...
