Joe Sinnott depicted first black President in 1964

Various news services, including NPR’s website last February, picked up the story that in 1964 there was a comic book that predicted/depicted the first black candidate for American President. In January, this video about the comic book series was posted on YouTube. (Turn down the sound if you don’t like “Switched-On Bach”!)

The man who illustrated those comic books is Joe Sinnott. I took this picture of Joe with his son Mark in New York on Saturday. Dennis provided the comics.

K3 Hoes Down

Is there a K3 video that I don’t like? Yes! The one where they get pig noses.

Giving Karen, Kristel and Kathleen pig noses and ears is just too weird, and I prefer to listen to, but not see, “Biggetjes”.
