Plundering Viking Treasure
Was the timing of yesterday’s Hagar the Horrible comic strip purely coincidental?
Because today was the start of the estate sale for the late Hagar cartoonist Chris Browne who, to my surprise, lived in South Dakota, rather than Connecticut.

T-Day
New Amp for Old Music
Once again we have the opportunity for a musical visit with good, ol’ R. Crumb, who has been living in France for — YOWZA! — 32 years. Robert is delving into 78’s that are even more obscure than his usual fare.
I see that I’m not the only one with an audio acquisition. That appears to be a Marantz amp of fairly recent vintage in Crumb’s listening room.
Like Wabbits Do
I didn’t get this joke in Bob Clampett’s “What’s Cookin’ Doc?” until reaching a certain age.
A Tex Me-Too on MeTV Toon-In
I’ve been surprised by some of the cartoons that MeTV has shown on Toon In with Me. “Mother Hubba-Hubbard Hubbard” is a recent example. From Columbia, a studio that seemed perpetually on the brink of bankruptcy, this cartoon is a 100% Tex Avery imitation, with voices probably by Stan Freberg. The surprise is an intact sequence that’s been censored for many years.
The guy who posted that video gets MeTV in HD. I’m jealous, because In Boston the station continues to be aired in SD. I watched MeTV in HD on my many visits to Phoenix. This is the censored scene as it appeared here, on WCVB 5-2.
Something else Boston doesn’t have is MeTV+. This Columbia cartoon takes its inspiration from the Fleischer studio.
