It Aint Me Babe

10/23/2007 6:55:00 PM in Art by Matt

The first underground comix drawn and written entirely by women (ed: except for Willie Mendez). Deals with women's liberation.

Maybe someone will find these obscure comix interesting. Some information is available at Sir Real's Underground Comix Classix. That's enough comix for today.

Nick Schweitzer: In Memoriam

10/5/2007 6:31:00 AM in Meanderings by Matt

Nicholas Earl Schweitzer of Atlanta, Ga formerly resided in Athens, GA, Laplace, LA and Huntington, WV. January 28, 1967 - January 4, 2007 "All that lives must die/Passing through nature to eternity." Hamlet, Act 1 Sc. 2 Died at home after a brief illness. He is survived by parents, Carol and Joseph Schweitzer of Huntington, WV; brother and sister-in-law Mark Schweitzer and Kelly Matheson; two nieces, Beatrice and Daisey, all of Toronto, Canada; many friends; and his two cats, Ursula and George, who are, incidentally, looking for a new home. Nick was a graduate of Marshall University and he attended the University of Atlanta, Athens, Graduate Program in Journalism. Nick was a Senior Creative Coordinator for Georgia Technology Authority. Nick had many aliases: Uncle Giraffe, Nicky and Uncle Chunk. Nick will be fondly remembered as a doting uncle, a media fiend, a connoisseur of ice cream, a master of the sarcastic remark, and a liberal thinker. God, how we miss you! A memorial service will be held in Atlanta Sunday Evening at 5pm. For details call 404-456-4426. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to the Salvation Army, The Humane Society, or Aids Research, Henson Mortuary 304-736-8986

I only met him once but it was like we were childhood friends and I'm sure that a LOT of people had this experience with Nick. For him, my favorite piano peice, Nocturne, op. 33 by Samuel Barber (Roger Shields, piano):
