Watching this pic, I hear this song
(Calling you – Jevetta Steele)
A desert road from Vegas to nowhere
Some place better than where you’ve been
A coffee machine that needs some fixing
In a little café just around the bend
I am calling you
Can’t you hear me?
I am calling you
I kinda liked it, until I searched the image to see where it was… Maybe some country where they spell coffee like that.
Well, it’s in the realm of imagination, that’s where it is.
It’s AI, proudly proclaimed to be generated by a program called Midjourney…
There are other versions, some sell cofeee… some coftee… you can probably get your morning covfefe there too.
(Every time I look away for a moment, my spell checker “corrects” all those to coffee! I keep having to uncorrect it 🤞 It sure can’t take a joke.)
Robert Crumb, IMO, is a genius, and an absolutely amazing artist, and also just about qualifies as a lunatic.
If you ever get a chance to see the movie about him and his family, just called “Crumb” … I highly recommend it.
His brothers and children are or were also artists… You can watch them draw, and delve into their thought and artistic processes, and into their craziness.
It’s fascinating… as long as you can handle coming out still absorbed, disturbed, and possibly depressed.
It took me days to get over it, but I was really glad I saw it.
in that movie I saw that Crumb doesn’t even do a first step pencil sketch…
a step that involves establishing borders, backgrounds and poses.
He just dives in with his technical pen and starts inking. and it works–beautifully
Looked at closely, the sink fixtures and drawer pulls are nonsensical, and don’t match. I don’t see a stove, and I’m not sure about a fridge.
On the table there’s weird “vase” with spikes, containing…. what? Plus, I get the feeling he said put a bowl of fruit on the table, so the program drew cut fruit.
And yeah, I think those railway coaches were the inspiration and probably the AI “prompt” he used.
BTW… I answered you on puzzle day about the One Times Square construction, and the photo you posted.
I know that was a long time ago in comics time… the 14th… and you probably don’t want to go back three days, but if you do, there’s a bit I’m still quite curious about.
Yes, you’re right about the details, I didn’t look close enough at the picture before I posted it.
In regards to ‘One Tines Square’ it has been extensively remodelled externally a couple of times at least.
Here is it in it’s originally finished form:
I posted a link on Saturday’s post reply to the article I found.
Plus I realised now that I got confused and the second picture I posted was of the ‘Flatiron’ building In Manhattan, and not of ‘One Times Square’…..
WHOOPS!!!
This is what happens when a stupid Brit thinks he knows what the building should be rather that the one it actually is!!
I saw that other picture and thought “That’s the one!” DOH!!
LOL… No wonder I couldn’t make the floors and windows match up!
And the point IS flat….even flatter now.
But don’t worry … I get them mixed up too! It’s not just “stupid Brits”… it’s stupid Americans as well.😁
I was perfectly willing to believe you… and the Hopper exhibit i was thinking of, in the added gallery space, was also in the FlatIron Building, not One Times Square.
Thanks for the article… It has lotsa pictures.

I certainly don’t know everything about New York City… This is a huge country.
I live in California, almost 3,000 miles away…. Only slightly less than from London to New York city.
But we have a whole country to traverse in between, with different cities and states to remember.
I’ve been to NYC once, for one day… I was 10 years old. We mostly visited relatives in Brooklyn, whom I’d never met and haven’t seen since.
.
We even got that game over here in the 70’s, one of my friends had it.
Rock’em Sock ’em Robots
My brother had them… no… wait… I think it was his son, now 54.
Still, a long time ago… But apparently they’re back!
Our resident bee biologist encouraged people to put weird thins in beehives to see what the bees would do with them. (coat hangers come to mind…)
It’s the bee’s knees.

Several online posts say this is located in downtown Pueblo, Colorado, in an area that has become known as Neon Alley.
Looks like the sign across the street(?) is pretty cool too, but I can’t make it out.
..
Not gobsmacked?
Nobody could have seen that coming.
“Hey! Dummy! See this? I’m running over here!”
Hits the dog… And thinks “ha ha ha… at this speed, I know you can’t catch me!”

She was never really ready….
She thought she was…. but filming it was so traumatic, she wouldn’t take showers for years after that, in real life.
nope
Ummm… oops.
This must…not…. be room 327C.
Just one of those mornings.
Likely not a surprise at your house!
Calvin and Hobbes gone bad…
,,,
Yup. But I don’t think the other guys are pelicans, either!
One bird looks different from the others.
I found it. Maybe it’s a penguin.
Maybe they’re all penguins… but their beaks are awfully huge
None look anything like pelicans.
But some have cute hats.
And a couple have some nice bow ties.
That too.
Do they call themselves “Opus?”
Got it.
OMG! Reefer Madness!!!
Just a liiiiittle newer.
“Scuse me while I go spark one up.”
There is no “Ad Council” that claims this, nor any creator stepping up, that I could find.
A couple of online sources actually printed horrified rebuttals to the message.
But most agree that it’s a spoof, and meant to be funny.
The “Headline” reminded me of The Church Lady on Saturday Night Live. . .

he’s exceptional and amazing
He could do that as a child!
So could his brothers… the movie showed intricate comic books they collaborated on in grade school, that look like totally mature work.
Watching any of them draw leaves me awed and…sure, envious.
His sisters may have been able to as well, but they are estranged and refused to cooperate with the filmmakers.
His son was an incredible artist as well… unfortunately he died a few years ago in a car crash.
But his daughter, Sophie Crumb, is a professional artist as well. I saw some of her work here, in a gallery, as well as online.
Airstream Trailer interior.
Either a great job of “steam-punking” an Airstream, or some well done AI.
Could be either. The style reminded me of the old private railroad coaches when I first saw it.
In the light of day, I vote definitely AI.

I think I had that exact same rug in my hallway – really worn out too. Gone now…had to get one that wasn’t falling apart.
Funny… I had one too. But a rectangular one in the living room, not a hall runner.
A lot of the uneven wear is due to natural dyes, that weaken some fibers and not others, according to what it takes to produce a certain color.
