‘Good Ol’ Charles Schulz’ at MASS MoCA

Something I missed, that I wouldn’t have been able to attend even if I’d known about it, was a screening of the documentary Good Ol’ Charles Schulz, with director David Van Taylor in attendance, at a place I’ve mentioned before, the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art. Here is the part of the film I liked, and I was pleased to later learn that Monte Schulz felt the same.

The Den and Doug Show — 1976

From November 10, 1976, here I am on college radio, passing the mic over to Dennis Rogers.

As good as a Jon Stewart toss to Stephen Colbert? Uh, no. Not with my awful attempt at ad-libbing. It was at that time I began my internship at the radio station in town. When I graduated it turned into a paying job, but it sure didn’t pay very much!

Comic Con Fun

Here’s a scene from last weekend’s comic book show in Albany. D.F. Rogers is with legendary artist extraordinaire Joe Sinnott, Joe’s son Mark, Mark’s wife Belinda, and their son Trevor. It’s a lot of fun being able to hang out with the Sinnotts. Dennis is showing a story to Joe that Joe drew 35 years ago, but had never before had a chance to see in print. Dennis, Mark and I got a laugh from realizing that we can recognize Joe’s work from as little as four small dabs of ink.
