...unless you have howfin' halitosis and bowfin' B.O. Anyway, here's k.d. lang - who isn't a bad little chanter at all. Give it a listen.
A cascading cornucopia of cool comics, crazy cartoons, & classic collectables - plus other completely captivating & occasionally controversial contents. With nostalgic notions, sentimental sighings, wistful wonderings, remorseful ruminations, melancholy musings, rueful reflections, poignant ponderings, & yearnings for yesteryear. (And a few profound perplexities, puzzling paradoxes, & a bevy of big, beautiful, bedazzling, buxom Babes to round it all off.)

KLASSIC KOMIC KOVERS - CONAN The BARBARIAN #1...
I remember one day back around 1971, sitting on the back step of a pal's house and reading this comic - given to my pal by his next door neighbour amongst a pile of other comics. The sequence with the astronaut seemed a bit out of place to me, and many years later (and only a few years ago) I read ROY THOMAS say that he sort of felt the same and that he'd probably omit that panel if he was doing it today for the first time. See? So I was right all along.
PART FOUR Of PLAYMATES From FAR-AWAY PLACES...
Still with us? Then here's another back cover from LITTLE STAR, published by DCT back in 1972. Did you know how to pronounce Chihuahua? I always thought the 'ch' was pronounced like in 'Chitty' so just goes to show what I know. Only 8 more pages to go - I've started so I'll finish (you'll doubtless be glad to know).
BEAR Of The DAY - RUPERT BEAR (And The FROG CHORUS)...

Rupert Bear, no definite article, is a bit of a wuss in the world of bears, I suppose, in that he's a polite, well-spoken lad of a bear as opposed to the fast-talking, quick-thinking, greedy rebel that Yogi is. Nevertheless, he's still a bona fide legend and worthy of our respect. Paul McCartney showed him that respect in 1984/'85 with Rupert & The Frog Chorus, which you can watch and listen to below.
