Happy Times – The Modern Woman
Depending on the task, the modern woman should change her frock between duties such as to keep herself presentable for when her husband returns home. The modern woman should also have a variety of aprons to wear to compliment her daily wardrobe in case the husband arrives home early.
The modern woman is also advised to wash her wardrobe and aprons by hand on a daily basis such that her husband don’t be comin’ home from the plant and be findin’ y’all stinky and stuff.

Bartolozzi’s Pinnochio
Salvador Bartolozzi (1882 – 1950) was one of the most important Spanish comic artists from the 1920s. With his several famous characters, such as the ‘Pipo y Pipa’ and his free adaptation of Collodi’s ‘Pinocho y Chapete’, Bartolozzi counts as an innovator of the Spanish comic strip. Bartolozzi went to Paris, where he stayed for six years. After his return, he joined the publishing house Calleja. Bartolozzi collaborated with several juvenile magazines, such as Pinocho, Macaco and Chiquilín.

Saturday Matinee – ’65, ’66 & ’67
Folks, we had some odd computer problems today, so we had to throw this together at the last minute.
Hello Vancouver!
1965, Doug Sahm & the Sir Douglas Quintet.
1966 Yardbirds. That was the same year Dad bought a set of the World Book Encyclopedia. The cellophane inserts showing frog anatomy were very cool.
1967, crappy sound, but it’s the Blues Magoos.
1967, and Stephen Stills was only 22 in this video. I was into Big Daddy Roth and Mad Magazine. Oh, man. Seems like it was just February.
Life Choices: Seahorses or a Monkey?
“Hey Dad! I got a dollar! Can I borrow $19?”
It’s all in the advertising. Note that the $1 seahorses are not “Darling Pet Seahorses” (never mind that the ones in the picture are kinda dead and dessicated, and that just about anywhere in the world one can dig up sea shells hundreds of miles inland)…
But monkeys!
My dad knew that seahorses wouldn’t crap all over the house, wouldn’t get into the cupboard in the middle of the night to get at the strawberry preserves by dropping the jar on the tile floor, and wouldn’t attack your face when you looked them in the eye. Dad was wise beyond his years.
“So can I get the seahorses?”
“No.”
