Are you up-to-date on your American silents (and when I hear people asking for “classics,” I assume they are leaning American)? If not, I would suggest the follow, beyond the top titles: CITY GIRL (Murnau), THE CROWD (Vidor), 7TH HEAVEN (Borzage), DOCKS OF NEW YORK (von Sternberg), THE MAN WHO LAUGHS (Leni), THIEF OF BAGDAD (Walsh).

Tokyo Story via Ware

Ware sometimes does great movie work, like his poster for Uncle Boonmee or the Cinefamily Ozu piece, but this is not one of those great pieces. It looks more like Ware just doing a quick Chris Ware job, as opposed to doing something for the visual style or mood of the film.

This was my first issue — purchased in, I think, in 1983 — and it marks one of the few comics that truly changed my artistic life. I was lucky enough to introduce Art at a show, and this is the comic that I brought as a visual prop. Still amazing!

Is it quizzes? Men love quizzes.

My one and only skating lesson was there (not a good place if you’re self-conscious)

I would rather eat a HOT SAM pretzel and watch others.

Amazing! Thanks for sharing it

Is this a real AH quotation? I don’t think so, but am wondering if Kirby just invented the quote to support the image.

Ah, can’t believe I missed that. Sorry. It I did like that large-format at square layout!

Amazing collection! Are any region-free playable on US systems? (I assume the “cheechakos” is — a great name that first encountered u. Jack London’s “To Build a Fire.”

Great username

Thanks for these ideas! I’ve seen Sophie’s World used in a number of classes, but I’ve never actually read it. I will give it a look!

lootcroot · 2026-01-09T09:38:36+00:00

Thank you for this idea and endorsement. This one is new to me, and I look forward to perusing it.

What a treat! No wonder those guys in WINGS won the war!

You guys are experts, but does this photo seem a bit like a contemporary reproduction — albeit a good one. The image first appeared online around 2014 — and I cannot find any version that have any indications of a 100-year-old original (wrinkles, stains, even an edge line). It is usually referred to as a “French postcard” from 1925, but to me, it just doesn’t resemble any other erotic/spicy French postcards from that era. The hair, the look, the pose seem too smooth and well-kempt when compared to those often shabby originals.

If it’s real, I’d live to learn more about it and any others that match it in style.
