Spiny Stuff
Bunkessa had an x-ray recently. I messed with it.
Colorized with Palette, sharpened with an old PhotoSuite 4.0 program, then ran it through Deep Dream Generator.
Collect Them All!
“These stickers are not easy to drop off; they’re non-reflective and even waterproof. I’m willing to call them the most successful invention of 2023!”
Some Chinese news outlets credited the unexpected popularity of belly button stickers to Chinese traditional medicine, which states that the lower abdomen must be kept warm to preserve the overall health of the body. By keeping the fake navel exposed, users can wear high-waisted pants that cover much of the stomach, while still rocking garments like crop-tops.
ONLY 1/2¢ PER BB!
A pack of 96 3/4″ x 1″ Chinese belly button decals for only 50 cents is one helluva deal. Confuse people by moving them around, or wear several at the same time and claim as many birthdays as you want. So many possibilities.

Ode to NANCY
For some unexplainable reason, I’ve been collecting random Nancy panels for a while, many culled from this fine collection. I have only one paper copy I clipped long ago from the Sunday Funnies because it’s so Zen; the others were all found online by accident. I messed with one or two…

Saturday Matinee – Robert Randolph & the Family Band, Cedric Burnside, and Robert Bryant & The Bo-Keys
Robert Randolph and the Family Band teamed up with the North Mississippi All-Stars to form the blues supergroup The Word.
When he was only 13, Cedric Burnside was already touring as a drummer with his grandfather, renowned bluesman R.L. Burnside (1926-2005).
Don Bryant & The Bo-Keys. In 1998, bassist Scott Bomar wanted to preserve the Memphis Sound and formed the Bo-Keys. The group’s name is a hat-tip to the session groups The Bar-Kays and The Mar-Keys.
“One of the main reasons I started the band is that there were a lot of great musicians from the golden era of Memphis soul who weren’t really getting the work or attention they deserve,” says bandleader Scott Bomar, who formed the Bo-Keys in 1998. “Stax, Hi Records and American Studios all shut down, and the amazing musicians who were part of those studio bands either moved or stayed in Memphis, languishing in obscurity for the most part. I wanted people to know that those players and that sound were still alive and well.”
So there you go. Have a great weekend, see you on the porch whenever you get here.
