OBEY!

We’ll kick off the week with the secret origin of a super-villain and follow it up with an ethical debate. There will be a new Picture Postcard from the “I was in the right place at the right time” category, and since Imponderable Week went over so well, we’ll kick off a series of Friday Imponderables. All this, a Saturday Comics featuring super-heric cats and dogs, and more, next week on Mr. Blog’s Tepid Ride.

Mark Tansey’s “The Innocent Eye Test,” 1981

As you can tell by the artwork above, it is going to be another odd week and I promise you, not a gorilla or dinosaur in the bunch.

This week, I’ll lower my standards to talk about the truly sleazy TV show, Hardcore Pawn. Crime takes center stage in the center of the week as I ponder some cruel intentions, and we’ll try to decide if Douglas Adams was some kind of cow prophet or just ahead of his time. As always, the week ends with Saturday Comics, this time featuring the last person you’d expect to star in a comic strip. All this, a homemade electric chair, and more, this week on Mr. Blog’s Tepid ride.
