MONDAY- The Celebrity Apprentice is back and no one messes with Donald Trump. He’s kicked the New York Minute right out of the Monday slot this week. TUESDAY- As always, American Chopper. Will we see Jason Pohl? As sure as a five year-old pees in the pool, yes we will. WEDNESDAY- The New York Minute settles into its new time slot, this time with a story about a man definitely not named Ray. THURSDAY- A Picture Postcard taken by yours truly featuring urban renewal. FRIDAY- Imponderable # 37. SATURDAY- Saturday Comics features some old friends in a way you may not expect.
(And yes, I know the phrase is “no one expects the Spanish Inquisition” but it just didn’t quite make sense.)
This post is a convergence of a great many wonderful things.
First, as you can tell by the title, it features the great Flash Gordon newspaper strip and the wonderful art of Alex Raymond. I’ve gone in to some greater detail about Flash before, you can read a recent Saturday Comics Flash Gordon entry right here.
Secondly, this is an audio Saturday Comics. Yes, you will hear a segment of an old 1950’s radio show, Comic Weekly Man, in which the jolly Comic Weekly Man read aloud to the listening audience the action from one of that day’s strips. In particular, this week is an adventure of Flash Gordon.
And lastly, but not at all least, if features Jimbo of the OTRr Buffet, for whom I had the pleasure of doing an interview or two. It was he who pointed me toward Comic Weekly Man and, with a lot of enthusiasm, created the video you will see below. It came out so well that he now has an entire collection of Comic Weekly Man shows linked up with the appropriate comics.
