JESSICA ALBA proved such a big hit last time,
here she is again as SUE STORM, The INVISIBLE
GIRL. Though, obviously, in this picture, she's visible.
(Just in case you were confused. And, incidentally,
if you don't fancy her, you definitely are!)

ROCKERS ON FIRE...
Here's a logo I produced for someone a goodly number of years ago, for some place or purpose which I was never quite clear on. (I think it was for a club, and tee-shirts were mentioned, though I did it for nothing.) I copied the 'Blazers' style from one of MARVEL's NEW UNIVERSE titles (forget which one), but what you're looking at was hand-lettered and coloured the 'traditional' way - no computers involved. I think it's pretty darn good - what do you think?
SWEENY TODD NEVER HAD A LOOK IN...
Remember these things? They're two different examples of the same idea - hair trimmers! Not for beards so much, but for cutting hair, in the mistaken belief that cost-conscious parents could save a few shillings when these items first came out. Talking of which, does anyone know exactly when that was? I seem to recall it being in the very early '70s when I lived in another house, but sometimes I wonder if it could've been a year or two later than that (or perhaps even before).
These things were devastatingly lethal - my father only had to approach me from the other side of the room, waving it in my general direction, for my hair to be sheared from my head as if a scythe had been swung. Okay, that's a slight exaggeration, but it's not too far removed from the truth, as any poor soul who ever had to suffer the application of these plastic torture devices will readily testify. (Show us your scars.)
Anyone remember what they were called or who they were made by? (Ronco, perhaps?) Or do you have any childhood tales of getting slagged by your classmates upon arrival at school when they clapped eyes on your dad's feeble attempts at a home-made haircut? Do feel free to share!

TALKIN' TO YOUR HEART - JIM REEVES...
JIM REEVES' voice was so soft and gentle that PAT TWITTY (I think) once likened it to someone who walks through snow, but leaves no footprints. Here's one of his 'talkie' tracks which ably demonstrates the truth of that claim.
