Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Hooray For Gazawood!"

"Hooray for Gazawood!"
https://sinkers.org/stage/?p=4071

I was peeping the news from L.A. along with Kathleen Wallace's recent
Substack column about Boss Media hand-wringing over the fate of film and
TV stars whose homes were lost in the fires which got my brain sizzling,
but the final inspiration was overhearing some smarmy, plaintive woman's
voice on MSNBC talking about people whose homes and neighborhoods lay in
smoking ashes, burning schools and playgrounds, people who'd lost
everything and had to evacuate with nothing but what they could shove
into a bag, living in their cars, living in tents — and it sounded for
all the world as if she were describing Gaza, except she was talking
about goddamned L.A. ...and I thought of News Nation, CNN, the L.A.
Times and Associated Press clutching their pearls and moaning OH, WON'T
SOMEBODY THINK OF THE STARS...?

Y'mean, the Hollywood stars who pimp and symp for Israel and Zionism,
who gladly, gleefully support the incineration and destruction of
neighborhoods like theirs on the other side of the Earth by the Chosen
People™? Y'mean, THOSE stars?

Hooray for Gazawood!

-----

"Janice and I lived in our home since 1979. We raised our children and
grandchildren here. Every inch of our house was filled with love.
Beautiful memories that can't be taken away. We are heartbroken of
course but with the love of our children and friends we will get through
this..."
— Billy Crystal in a statement released via Associated Press, 01.09.2025

Jan 16: Swann Fellow Lecture at Library of Congress

Transpacific Encounters: Miguel Covarrubias, Zhang Guangyu and their Indigenous Turn

Swann Fellow, Felicity Yin, PhD candidate in Art History at the University of California, San Diego, examines the 1930s cultural exchange between Mexican artist Miguel Covarrubias and Shanghai artist Zhang Guangyu, focusing on Covarrubias' visit to Shanghai during his second trip to Bali. Utilizing materials from the Library of Congress, the research reveals how their dialogues contributed to an indigenous turn in both artists' practices, redefining the integration of their cultural roots in transpacific modern art.

This event will be recorded.

 

Location: Library of Congress, Pickford Theater, 3^rd Floor, Madison building, at noon

 

For those of you outside LC, please be aware that there is perimeter security around the Capitol Hill complex in advance of the Inauguration on January 20.

Last comics from Naval Hospital Long Branch's Santana newspaper

Previous posts here, here, and here. 

The paper ran until at least 1950 according to the National Library of Medicine, but the issues I have access to ended with May 1946, and the cartoons stopped with a VIP panel in March's issue. A.G. Santomauro returned one last time with a note saying he was cartooning for magazines in Hollywood; does anyone know anything about him? Karl Hubenthal had a page reprinted from the Marine Corps' Leatherneck and Navy cartoonist Bob Woodcock had a reprint in November 1945. Other one-shots were Nick Pouletsos' Stalemate also in November, and Saltshaker by Keziah in December. An Art Brewster sports cartoon of golfer George Lake ran in April 1946.

My friend Rodrigo Baeza found a picture of Santomauro from 1944 in his previous command. This is from a cruise book (yearbook) for the hospital in Pearl Harbor, and is in the National Library of Medicine.

Almost a decade ago, I posted some cartoons from Hospital Hi-Lites here that included VIP, Woodcock, and Santamauro (whose first name was Al).
