Allen comic strip

‘Woody, the pen-and-ink protagonist, was angst-ridden, flawed, fearful, insecure, inadequate, pessimistic, urban, single, lustful, rejected by women’

My first ever exposure to Woody Allen came from a comic strip. One that floated around the daily paper.

The very neurotic Inside Woody Allen was drawn by cartoonist Stuart Hample – and ran in newspapers from 1976-84.

The author explains what it was and how it happened here.

Retrospective book available here.

Hample passed away in 2010. Career overview here.

Fire tagging

‘Allegedly ‘the idea is to paint a tag and light it quickly before it dries,’ and we’d imagine a goal is to not set oneself or one’s surroundings on fire.’

Me thinks arson carries a bigger fine than tagging. But what do I know. Details here.
