Blue Monday Calendar 2018 Week 49
The Blue Monday Calendar typically runs on the main site, but this week's painting needed to be moved to our adult 'back room' as Gil Elvgren offers us a more open look at the lovely lady featured in Captivating from 1962 -
Well titled, Master Elvgren.

Read Your Vegetables
As you likely already noticed if you came in through the 'front door' of the main blog, while i have made mention of my favorite underground artist team - the Overland Vegetable Stagecoach - it recently hurt my brain to realize that we've only had a single feature on Dave Sheridan, and only a single page of Fred Schrier's work.
Let us fix that, shall we?
Note: While typically the back room post here on The Other Voice Of ODD! includes all of the material presented in the main room, that is not the case today. I decided i could use more material if we didn't duplicate unless needed this time out. This includes text as well as stories.
Let's kick off with Dave Sheridan's tale, The Fun House, which provided the teaser panels for the main post -
Ah, the '70s. Been there, dug that. There was no alchemist upstairs, but there was a chemist at U.C.R., the local university. I knew that last panel well.
Meanwhile... Here's Fred's tale presented in the front room, without the ugly black censorship bars on page 4 -
Following up on the recent presentation of Sympathy For The Devil, here's another sonic/graphic intersection coming to us from Dave Sheridan. You'll probably want to substitute the word 'download' for 'borrow' to modernize the instructions, and while step 2 certainly helps with mood & experience, viability will be a individual decision of preference and circumstance. (Personally, i found some Chocolate Covered Strawberries (THC 27.5%) frosted with a bit of 3x Crazy SF Sugar (THC 78.4%) to be effective. Your mileage may vary.)
Also - consider headphones instead of full blast stereo unless you live in an isolated cave.Try not to throw more wood on the bonfire of civilization, eh?
And to wrap it up with a splash of colour, here's the cover to Mother's Oats #3 -
Next time we visit, more Dope.
Dealer McDope.
(And Father Guido Sarducci, and 20,000 Kilos Beneath The Sea)

Blue Monday Blues
Hardware issues from last year re-manifesting in the main system, causing much difficulties around here. Posting might get a bit sporadic for a bit. Fortunately, i access the net through an ancient laptop, so we can still get a quickie post up for today's Blue Monday.
We've got a trio of odds & ends that were in the digital pile - a set of plates from D. Bruce Berry, whom i know best from his work inking Jack Kirby during his DC time in the 70s. These come to us from the Weirdbook zine back in '79. Following that, a brief History Of Art by Roy Lartigue from 1960's 7 11 magazine. (Whether Roy is a name, or a title for a more well-known Latrigue, i've yet to find time to ascertain) And lastly, Choice Cuts - a short piece by Cary Bates and Russ Heath coming to us from Vampirella 40 years ago.

Non-Verbal Blue
A couple weeks back a post entitled Non-Verbal In The Groovy Age ran in the primary The Voice Of ODD! blog, looking at a bunch of splash page artwork from underground comics & comix. Of course, underground artists, being underground artists, frequently like to let loose when working free of the restrictions imposed upon mainstream work. And so we have a theme for today's
While not entirely non-verbal, the words are few and far enough between on these two dozen images that i believe we're past time to shut up and look at the pics -
...and so it went...
