Although Dr Peter Teiman is one of the lesser-known European philosophers,Peter Teiman was a significant impetus within the academic world in Europe in accepting American pop culture.He also popularized American science-fiction writing in Europe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752841194995687278.post-6087080337988095052007-09-11T18:15:00.000-05:002007-09-11T18:15:00.000-05:00I love the idea of sh1t-stained street life shouti...I love the idea of sh1t-stained street life shouting shaksper at the passing pedestrians...<BR/><BR/>Eddie, this may interest: <A HREF="http://www.metafilter.com/64599/The-Moving-Dreams-of-a-Rarebit-Fiend" REL="nofollow">The Moving Dreams of a Rarebit Fiend</A>drjonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14351916590417179786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752841194995687278.post-22687998672157258202007-09-11T10:05:00.000-05:002007-09-11T10:05:00.000-05:00Pfff.

But while you're remembering to spell various problematic words with the quote marks, note that hayley has adopted the non-capitalisation of her name.

I have made brief mentions of Lynd Ward and Masreel, however.<BR/><BR/>The Polish ones I really like (since they're the most grotesque) are by Franciszek Starowieyski. One of his posters is seen briefly in Street of Crocodiles by the Brothers Quay; I wondered for years what that was until I saw it on that page. Hmm...maybe he is worth a mention.

It's a three part history of the 'medium' (God, I'm having to put inverted commas on everything here just in case I put a foot wrong) with heavy input from Mr Gravett. Last night it was solely about the Beano & the Dandy i.e. about Leo Baxendale and that fella I think was called Reid. It'll move on through the years in the next two parts.<BR/> It's probably on Youtube by now. The BBC have decided to put on a 'comics' themed series of programmes around it - these shows have nothing to do with the series per se, so it's pity they'll tar it by association. Guess what kicks it off tonight? It starts 'Dinna-dinna-dinna-dinna'...<BR/><BR/>Ben SmithAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752841194995687278.post-31455919918630133852007-09-11T07:43:00.000-05:002007-09-11T07:43:00.000-05:00pshttp://www.theargus.co.uk/news/localnews/display...ps<BR/><BR/>http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/localnews/display.var.1679295.0.sleepwalker_orders_a_curry.phpAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752841194995687278.post-3530221980520866302007-09-11T07:33:00.000-05:002007-09-11T07:33:00.000-05:00wo this book sounds great, definitly going to sear...wo this book sounds great, definitly going to search it out<BR/>lee paulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
