Ah, the mysteries of art, in the night….

I knew if one of Nighthawks’ enigmatic street-corner ladies hung around long enough, some guy would show up to hassle her.

This fellow is very strange… or maybe it’s my perception.

Does he have a huge head, with a short black beard… or is the part I’m looking at not meant to be his face?

Anyway…. perhaps she’s not really there, and he’s only dreaming her.

She appears to be dissolving into the background.

Here’s an enlarged bit:

Meanwhile, too bad the artist didn’t capture the lovely neon sign, above and to the left of them…. a lady in a champagne glass.

It’s apparent in the photo…. but maybe not in daylight.

You can see the supports in the painting but I guess the tubing is transparent.

I didn’t mean to put down his artwork… I gave the painting a like, and I do like it.

Just examining details as they occur to me in the wee hours of the morning, when I’m very sleepy.

Maybe he’d be flattered that I’m paying so much attention… Then again, maybe not.

Sorry Randy, if not… in the extremely unlikely event that you ever see this.

And BTW I love the name, Randy Sexton…
A randy sexton could be a character in a nineteenth century English novel.

I understand. I think some art work is just to look at ~ but not too closely. I’m not a big fan of that type of painting ~ just looks sloppy to me. But, yes, the name Randy Sexton brings up certain images.

Albert Morse was a real character.

He was Robert Crumb’s intellectual property lawyer, and also did that work for several other underground cartoonists, some of whom were not making any money.

Crumb’s characters, and Crumb himself, had gotten famous, and were being copied on all kinds of merchandise without permission.

Morse was the guy you heard from if you made pirated “Keep on Truckin'” t-shirts or Mr. Natural mugs.

This is the cover artwork by R. Crumb for a collection of cartoons and caricatures featuring him, that some of the artists did to thank him for his work.

The Colt’s game and the Bronco’s game.
The Colt’s took advantage of a stupid penalty by the Chiefs or they’d have lost (hey, that’s football).
Denver won by 1 point with two interceptions in the last two minutes (one of the odder occurrences in the NFL took place; a safety touch against the 49ers to give Denver 2 / 2nd quarter) .
The Blue Jays won too.

I just hope nighthawks posts the “Perro” animation as a coda to the series.

Oooh… ¡mira, Cleomigos!

Perro™… er..rides? Um… well, he must have ridden…right?

Even if we didn’t see him ride?

Cos I doubt the hacienda of his father is within walking distance of the mayor’s residence….

so he’d have to rideespecially if he’s going to threaten the mayor at sword-point and need to make a swift getaway.

So, if you don’t mind… let’s just say Perro rides!

And now he will send the mayor to Spain.

Which makes me think… I have assumed that Mayor Asesinato is a Spanish alcade… and that Slurez and his henchmen were working for the Spanish crown.

But perhaps they are independent criminales…. villanos…. that the Spanish Crown… la corona de españa…. would just as soon be rid of as well.

Could Perrobe shipping their sorry P-marked posteriors one by one to foreign shores, somewhere across the ocean…

Shores that el alcade, er…the Mayor… has never seen…. but apparently has suddenly always longed for?

Language note:

Yes, there are several words in Spanish for those posteriors, and I’ve been sticking in a bunch of gratuitous bits of espanol…. so in case you wonder….

I presume that, as in English, some words for that body part are ruder than others.

Even though I even know two of them, I’m afraid that, due to my not being fluent in Spanish, and to the circumstances of my having learned them, I’m not sure whether either is …um… non-family-friendly, but at least one may be offensive.

So to retain my ladylike demeanor and preserve my pristine reputation (uh huh) I will stick to English, and the relatively safe “posteriors.”

You’re welcome.

A well done parody, thanks.
I have never liked Hondas as cars.
I have nothing against their engineering or performance, I just don’t like them in the same way I don’t like asparagus. I’ll eat it (accept a ride in one) but I won’t buy it.
On a more cheerful note here’s a song about one of their early (only?) motorcycles…..

This “reminder” might sting a little...

Good Monday morning Perro™ phans!

PANCAKES!!

Welp… Been lucky so far, but 3 out of the 5 residents here have tested positive for the ‘Vid’ since Thursday. Miss my peeps having to keep distances and closed doors. Text is our friend.
Fortunately, the symptoms have been mild-ish.

Stay healthy my friends. (air) (((((HuGz!)))))

You stay healthy! You don’t need that at all. I got it in June and just had a lot of coughing that I thought would never end. It felt like a head cold that wouldn’t go away. I still get out of breath really easily. You stay away from those sick people!

You never told us you got it!

So glad you’re ok, or at least recovering…

I know you’re not 100% back, but it’s a relief that you weren’t hospitalised…um… you weren’t, were you?

Whew.

No, it basically was pretty mild since we were thoroughly vaccinated. My husband got it first and gave it to me for my birthday ~ he’s such a sweetheart. And, as I said, it wasn’t too bad. It just has side effects that aren’t going away, but should eventually. My husband lost his sense of taste. For a man that loves to eat, that is a horrible experience. They say that can last 3 months to a year.
Thanks for your concern.
