I thought of Spinal Tap instantly when someone asked if there had been a Ripper musical. The irony is that it wouldn't seem out of place these days. Anyone else remember the Planet of The Apes musical in The Simpsons with Troy McClure or Elephant Man the musical in The Tall Guy?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17843813459666056521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752841194995687278.post-57539557788059925542008-04-25T10:56:00.000-05:002008-04-25T10:56:00.000-05:00Working in a bookshop I get emails about upcoming ...Working in a bookshop I get emails about upcoming books, this wa sin today's (25/04/08)<BR/><BR/>"Looking for Jack the Ripper:<BR/><BR/>Sue Fletcher at Hodder has bought two novels by Carol McCleary starring Nellie Bly, America’s first female investigative reporter.<BR/><BR/>The first, The Alchemy of Murder, is set in Paris in 1889 and features Jules Verne, Louis Pasteur and Oscar Wilde, who help Bly hunt for Jack the Ripper."<BR/><BR/>Ben SmithAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752841194995687278.post-70631118247312137912008-04-24T18:11:00.000-05:002008-04-24T18:11:00.000-05:00You're a naughty oneSaucy JackYou're a haughty one...You're a naughty one<BR/>Saucy Jack<BR/>You're a haughty one<BR/>saucy Jackbobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02357760578699371017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752841194995687278.post-85104746979605520542008-04-24T15:31:00.000-05:002008-04-24T15:31:00.000-05:00There's David St. Hubbins Saucy Jack.

MURDER BY DECREE is in particular a lovely little movie, too long ignored.<BR/><BR/>Beaty in the warpath -- this will be addressed on my own blog next week! Baety is doing rather too neat a job of become primary Wertham Apologist 101 in a world where precious few can access the original Wertham texts. Luckily, I have all of Wertham's books, save his first (THE BRAIN AS AN ORGAN), and can counter, especially concerning the comics history records.

And does it star Helen Bonahm Carter as Mary Poppins (that might be the only reason I would watch it)?<BR/><BR/>Eddy, in From hell did you ever struggle between portraying what you believe to be more accurate (ie, no rubbish on the slum streets, and no girls with feather boas) and what is more beautiful or interesting or fun to draw and view?Matthew Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06954050440829792514noreply@blogger.com
