Pure Prue
Prudence Bury will be here soon! Please be patient. I’m working out the details with her of exactly what she wants to say, and how it will be said. Don’t expect an extensive interview. It will be brief and to the point, allowing Prue to save her whole story for better, larger venues. She will be appearing at a Beatles weekend in November. More about that later.
If you’ve never known the name of Prue’s character in “A Hard Day’s Night,” it’s Rita. Pattie Boyd played Jean. Now you know!

The Art of Harvey Kurtzman
Harvey Kurtzman created MAD Magazine, which is, sadly, apparently about to fold. Kurtzman also inadvertently helped put Monty Python together, as I explained here.
There’s a brand-new book out, called The Art of Harvey Kurtzman, and I’m sure if I buy it for Dennis on his birthday, he’ll buy me a copy for my birthday. That way we don’t feel like we bought our own copies.

No More excuses
I have more posts to publish, but a couple of things have come up, including a surprise bit of correspondence from somebody who I have featured prominently here. I’d like to say more, but I don’t know yet what direction this exchange will take, so for now the prudent thing for me to do is remain silent.
P.S. (24-hours later): Now it can be told. The mystery correspondent is none other than the stunning PRUDENCE BURY herself. I kid thee not. Prue has some things she would like to say, as you will soon see for yourself.

The Colbert War Machine
Tonight is the first installment of Stephen Colbert’s visit with the troops in Baghdad. Gen. Ray Odierno, under a direct order given by his Commander in Chief, gave Stephen a buzzcut! Don’t miss it!
I love Colbert, but I’m enough of a realistic/cynic to suspect the timing of his visit to Iraq isn’t coincidentally following Conan O’Brien’s first week on his new shift. And this week’s issue of Newsweek features Colbert as guest editor. It’s out now, but our copy (I’ve subscribed to Newsweek for 25 years) didn’t arrive in today’s mail.
