A very dark and dystopian ambience from these prints.  Could these be possible scenarios after the asteroid impact?

The Gaslamp Killer   1 comment


 

The Gaslamp Killer (born William Benjamin Bensussen) is an DJ based in Los Angeles, California. He has released two EPs and an album, Breakthrough, on Brainfeeder, a record label founded by Flying Lotus.

Bensussen grew up in San Diego, California, where he began listening to Too Short, Jimi Hendrix, and Dr. Dre. After being influenced by DJ Shadow, he became a DJ in San Diego’s Gaslamp district when he was 17. His unique sets often ruined the pop music vibe in the clubs, earning him the nickname “The Gaslamp Killer.”

This is one of the most remarkable videos I have ever seen.

Baroness Iron Lady Maggie Thatcher’s Final March   Leave a comment


 

 

Lady Thatcher, Britain’s first female prime minister, was borne to St Paul’s Cathedral for a ceremonial funeral as thousands lined central London’s streets to witness her final journey.

With full military honours, the coffin bearing the body of one of Britain’s most divisive politicians of modern times was escorted by members of all three armed forces to a service before a congregation of 2,300 from across the globe and led by the Queen.

Although not officially a state funeral, as accorded to Sir Winston Churchill, the event was conducted with a level of pomp and ceremony not witnessed in London since the death of the Queen Mother in 2002.

Very polarizing political force.

Political Cartoons of Kim Jung-Un from China   Leave a comment


Chinese Political Cartoon Shows an Impotent Kim Jung-Un

 

 

Kimmy

 

A political cartoon by artist Johnny Won, posted to his Sina Weibo page, shows Kim Jung-Un having intercourse with a woman and saying, “I fired! I don’t know why there was no ejection.” His partner responds, “This is a question you should ask doctor Cui Chenghao.” Cui Chenghao is the name of a very popular ‘North Korean’ parody account on Sina Weibo.

This comic follows recent reports that North Korea had raised their rockets into a firing position, but was then “tucked back into its launcher”,according to CNN.

Another comic by Johnny Won shows a child-sized Kim Jung-Un in a cape, standing on a pedestal and urinating on the United States, South Korea, and Japan. China stands off to the side, leaning on a cane and saying, “Stupid child, you’re looking for death.”

Here is another cartoon from China, although I haven’t been able to find the original artist. It was posted to Cui Chenghao’s Weibo. A well-dressed China tells North Korea to sit down and behave, as an angry United States looks on South Korea plays mindlessly with her toy plane.

Obviously China is completely fed up with the irrational and deranged behaviour coming out of North Korea.

collective

 

The Freedom collective is a one-shot comic that pays homage to the story-telling and artistry of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, and asks:

What if… those two giants had lived and worked in Russia and shared its hopes and fears of the time?

Calvin and Hobbes is a daily comic strip that was written and illustrated by American cartoonist Bill Watterson, and syndicated from November 18, 1985, to December 31, 1995. It follows the humorous antics of Calvin, a precocious and adventurous six-year-old boy, and Hobbes, his sardonic stuffed tiger. The pair are named after John Calvin, a 16th-century French Reformation theologian, and Thomas Hobbes, a 17th-century English political philosopher.
