The good Doctor has gone back to his roots this week, reviewing some of the crappy comics he grew up with. I'll start you off mild today:

Jughead Jones in "The World of Jughead"

On to page 1!

Oh boy! Posters of Shatner, Nimoy, AND Barbara Eden! They'll mesh in perfectly with my stills of Lassie and Englebert Humperdinck.


Here we have Miss Grundy and Principle Weatherbee discussing the recent change in Jughead attitude. Jughead seems to have two pairs of eyebrows, and where the hell is his beanie?


Here we see the relationship between Jesus and Principle Weatherbee. Just look at that halo in Panel 4.


The "Bee" askes Archie to spy on his pal Jughead. Reggie provides us with much needed comic relief. Unfortunately there is no Moose present to beat the crap out of Reggie.


Jughead proves his insanity. Fortunately, he still has his appetite...for human flesh!!!


The circus is coming to Riverdale! Well, not really, the writer thought it would be funny, and it is, like crutches.


The good news is that we get to see Reggie get horribly injured after all, and he takes down a Swede as well. Good work Jughead! The "Bee" almost breaks the fourth wall with his final comment.

I have reams of this crap. I think I'll do a "Betty and Veronica" next...

Garden thieves!

I know I have had more than one ripe tomato in the past two weeks. I can't pinpoint it, but I theorize a garden thief. I'm tempted to camp out all day at the garden with a good book and a case of Bitburger so that I may catch the thief. I have my suspects (f-11 watch out!) and will act accordingly. Just an hour ago I purchased four fifty pound bags of rock salt. When I find the culprit, I will be the Rome to their Carthage. Let's see your heirloom tomatoes grow in super-saline soil sucker! The bad part is that I will be out of town for the next five days, and I have no one to water the garden for me in the interem. I think if I soak them heavily tomorrow, they will make it for five days. I have faith in my charges.
