Everyone has their favorite Gary Larson comic, right? The creator of "The Far Side," an artist who's now heavy into environmental causes, started the strip on a lark while working at a record store in Seattle. After submitting a few dashed-off, single-panel comics to local newspapers, he was surprised by the reception. The papers loved them - and so did their readers, who reveled in his dark, surreal vision of life, people, animals and even wee insects. The strip ran nationally for 15 years, its finale in January, 1995.  To me, "The Far Side" has always been an anomaly in the comic strip world. Children as well as adults used to look forward to their favorite newspaper comics in the morning - with cereal! - because they wanted to laugh with their favorite characters, like Snoopy or Cathy or Ziggy or Hobbes. But with "The Far Side," you weren't looking forward to recurring characters, you were looking forward to what Gary, the artist, was going to p...

  I have no tattoos. It was surprising for an artist/musician with a penchant for underground/alternative/indie vibes, but it was mostly because I saw so few I liked enough to want it on my body forever. I sketched some, painted some, illustrated some, and even designed some for others (including a boyfriend, loads of friends, my dad, and my ghey husband). But I shied away when it came to me; what if I robbed a bank? I would tell myself they would identify me through my tattoo! It was just an excuse to chicken out; I feared a mistake, the pain, and growing out of loving what I had loved before. And I am no Bonnie Parker, so robbing banks was not even a remote possibility, but still, what if? I have been looking at some and liking the skill and how lovely it looks when a skilled artist does the work. I started by looking at Yakuza tattoos, which are actually illegal in Japan. Then I saw some others and from there others. I don't know; maybe I will take the plunge and inc...

*Sorry for the delay, beloved hors. Been battling a plague the last couple of days.

  Source: Sydney Film Festival First up this month are Alison Brie and Dave Franco. The couple are facing a copyright infringement suit pertaining to their upcoming body horror film, Together . The plaintiff, Patrick Henry Phelan, alleges that the film is a blatant rip-off of his 2023 independent movie titled Better Half . The plaintiff claims that both works centre around a couple who wake up to find their bodies physically fused together as a metaphor for codependency. The script for  Better Half was allegedly pitched to Franco and Brie back in 2020, but they rejected the offer because "they wanted to produce the film themselves and have WME, their agency, package the project with one of the agency's own writers." Hmm, that sounds pretty damning to me! Source: Getty Second is Michael Pitt. The pouty actor was arrested and charged for sex crimes and assaults that occurred in 2020 and 2021. While the indictment does not specify how many people are accusing Pitt of the cri...

  ► Olympic swimmer and patron saint of dullards, Ryan Lochte (40) and his wife Kayla Rae Reid are finding themselves in money trouble. Kayla recently filed for divorce after 7 years with Mr. Jeah and sharing 3 dolphins...oops, I mean kids. I think she checked off "irreconcilable differences" box on the filing. Who knows. It's been reported the couple have racked up over $270,000 in debts. Of this, they owe over $99,000 to the IRS. Plus, there's a lien of over $2,200 filed against them on their Florida property by their local HOA; and another lien by Shands Teaching Hospital for over $127,000 in unpaid medical bills from 2023 when Ryan was their guest for 2 days receiving treatment for undisclosed issue. Maybe his swim trunks gave him an atomic wedgie? The hospital is also seeking another $39,000 in unpaid bills for care he received last year. Despite winning 12 Olympic medals and making the rounds on various celeb reality shows for a paycheck, I have no idea what he...
