Yes, I'm in radio mode at the moment. You should try it. One of my all-time favorite radio comedy series is FIBBER MCGEE AND MOLLY which ran for roughly 25 years in one form or another. Here are some magazine ads featuring the classic comedy duo.

R.I.P. - PD Angel Gabriele
This is getting too close to home. P. D. Angel Gabriele has died. As a founding member of the Charlton-Neo movement and PIX-C, he was the artist on Paul Kupperberg's N.E.O., the strip which shared the spotlight in UNUSUAL SUSPENSE with my wife's MS. MOLECULE strip created with Sandy Carruthers. He had been ill for some time but his passing was apparently still quite sudden. As with many others in his situation, there is no money for funeral costs and a GoFundMe has been established. We're perpetually broke and sometimes all we can afford to do is pass these things along. This time, though, we managed to find enough to make a contribution. It was too close not to. See what you can do, please.

Vampires Over Hollywood!
never keep track). Batton is the fella who chronicles their legal cases specializing in Supernatural Law. He's also the best-dressed man in comics!
A bit more than a decade ago, I actually met Batton--although not in person--when I interviewed him about, of all things, Alanna Wolff and Jeff Byrd...and Jack Benny! Since then, I've spent some quality virtual time with Batton in Riverdale and then we hung out with Bart Simpson's favorite superheroes as well!
This past year, I transcribed a long interview that someone else had done with Batton in which, a bit weirdly, he suddenly talks about me!
Seems like Batton Lash just keeps turning up in my life...although we've still never met in person!
Now, here he comes again, with Alanna and Jeff back by his side, looking for VAMPIRES OVER HOLLYWOOD! That's the title of the new Kickstarter campaign to publish the latest Wolff and Byrd collection!
Let's face it, an increasingly large portion of today's comic books stories from anywhere just plain suck! It's folks like Batton, though, with not just his smart writing and deft drawing skills but also his understanding of both the medium and its history, that keep me from giving up on comic books completely.
There are lots of worthy causes out there these days asking for your money for support. If you're a comics fan, I ask you to consider donating to VAMPIRES OVER HOLLYWOOD! Thanx!
