Today is Egg Day. Or one of those egg days. I'm not doing any blogging today. Besides, the party in Covent Garden I went to last night was fab. 1:22:51 PM    | |

The Doctor And The Doctor. Sylvester McCoy about Christopher Eccleston. Picture taken from The Tardis Databanks. The new series of Dr Who is sharp, witty and still very scary, says Sylvester McCoy, a past inhabitant of the tardis. Just don't listen to the incidental music. This Saturday, 7pm on BBC1. Woohoo. 10:38:11 AM    | |

When it gets warm, take off your coat. 7:20:19 PM   Basil Says | |

Franz Graf von Pocci. Illustrator and author, 1807 - 1876. Considering the fact that most of his illustrations are from around 1850, his drawings look actually very modern. 6:30:37 PM   Art & Advertising | |

For Space Cadets. Extensive website about Captain Video, Tom Corbett and Space Patrol. Lots of stuff there. Of course, this has already been mentioned over at the Goof. Matt, apologies. I'll buy you a nice Belgian beer next time you are around. 5:11:10 PM    | |

Metalworks. Life-size movie memorabilia statues. Amazing. 5:06:21 PM    | |

Area 51. A few nice pictures of Rachel, Nevada. More or less via London Leben. 1:30:53 PM    | |

Wonderful. Just wonderful. The wonderful pubs of London. Guess what - I actually know most of them. Terrible. 1:11:03 PM   London | |

Here's a Good One. The satirical art of Osvaldo Cavandoli. Comes more or less via Creative Classics. 12:56:49 PM   Art & Advertising | |

Today is Photo-Day. [7]. 1988. The Cartoonist and his boss, Rolf Homann, in front of the building that used to be an ad agency with the beautiful name of Markenwerbung International. It was only called International because Rolf's boss once worked in Chicago at FCB. Apart from that there was not much international going on. In the meantime, while waiting for the next photo to appear in this space, have a go at the Daily Mail Headline Generator and the David Blunkett Policy Maker. Thanks to Going Underground. 12:39:25 PM    | |

Update: Susann has cracked the puzzle. I owe her half a pint of beer in the Princess Louise Pub. 10:36:18 AM    | |

Today is Photo-Day. [3]. This rather bizarre picture comes again from Wolf's collection. Fab. 10:16:13 AM    | |

A man moves in circles before he goes down the drain. Tomorrow is Photo Day here at The Cartoonist. No links, just pics. And a big Thank you, Sir! in advance to Wolf. 5:22:29 PM   Basil Says | |

Mister Focal Length. This could be such a nice gallery of coin-operated amusement devices such as pinball machines, slot machines, jukeboxes, trade stimulators and counter games, etc. Unfortunately almost every image is out of focus. Sigh. Thanks to Peter Zillig for the link. 5:16:16 PM    | |

Yesterday, at the Reclame Bureau. Even more old ads at AdClassix. The weird thing on the left is an ad for Plaza 8 underwear from 1966. A whole lot of thanks goes to Peter Zillig for the link. 2:53:47 PM   Art & Advertising | |

Meanwhile, at the Reclame Bureau. Old ads at Alte Werbung. Fab. 11:10:50 AM   Art & Advertising | |

Simply Great. Fantastic. Fabulous. Unbelievable. The cartoons of Joan Vizcarra Carreras. In 1985 he moved to Barcelona, where he studied arts in the University. There, he soon discovered that he had an ability to draw caricatures. Absolutely. 9:49:30 AM   Art & Advertising | |
