YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE...



...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.

BABE Of The DAY - RAQUEL WELCH...



Ravishing RAQUEL WELCH
is your Babe of the Day, fellas.  Don't
say I'm not good to you or I'll confiscate
 your drool cups and tummy wipes.

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)...

Copyright relevant owner

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.
