Sometimes inspiration for this blog is as close as my wife's bookshelf. True story: I knew she was the girl for me the first time I went to her home and saw she had a complete set of Doc Savage novels. True love, right there.

What can I say? I'm still on a trashy pulp kick. Speaking of which... why does the Dime detective Magazine cost fifteen cents? That just seems wrong.

The other day this book by James Aquilone came up as a suggestion on my Kindle. I can't imagine why.

If you haven't seen the Wonder Woman movie yet, you should definitely go see it. It is amazing. Turns out, she is no stranger to octopodes:

I dunno, her "fiendish plot" seems to be "get eaten by an octopus"...

I have posted work by Brian Kesinger here before, of Walking Your Octopus fame. Today, however, I was messaged by a half-dozen different poeple with this BoredPanda.com article within the space of a couple hours. I figured that was a sign that I was supposed to post new Kesigner artwork today.
(BTW - if you are into Doctor Who, you might like to check out my Time Treadmill blog in which I am posting daily about my mission to watch the entirety of Doctor who - all 833 episodes and counting - while walking on a treadmill. So far I have lost nearly 35 lbs, and I am not even through the Second Doctor yet.)

I had a meeting today with a retired NFL quarterback, which led me to google for related images. I have no idea who the artist is, but I love this drawing.

So it turns out, according to artist Bianca Roman-Stumpff, that the Loch Ness Monster was really just a sock puppet all along.

So, what if I did this to memorialize my 50th birthday next year?
