   I have been tinkering recently with a ElseWorlds story/take on Batman set in that 70s styling. So, from the pages of PULP SUNDAY, I give you BATMAN 1972!

   To keep him in “the part”, my Batman smokes, wear a leather coat and a turtleneck, and drives a cool 70s BatMobile (an OldsMobile maybe? ;) I still need to decide on brand and model.

   Of course, as usually it happens in these cases, I start to flesh out all the other characters/stars of the story. Pictured above we have Selina Kyle, aka Foxy CATWOMAN, Lieutenant Jim Gordon (with period appropriate ‘stache ;)) and Ed Nygma AKA The Riddler.

   Yes, you are witnessing the first case of BATPLOITATION. Hope ya dig it.

FF

I love the artwork. Would love to hang some of these in my house.

People have to talk about something just to keep their voice boxes in working order, so they’ll have good voice boxes in case there’s ever anything really meaningful to say. — Kurt Vonnegut (via tattoolit)

It’s really a wonder that I haven’t dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart —

Anne Frank

Anne Frank was born today in 1929. This quote is from her diary, “The Diary of a Young Girl” which was written while her family was in hiding during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. She died in 1945 and her diary was published in 1947 by her father, Otto Frank. You can get a copy of her diary at the library.

funnyordie: 13 Amazing Redneck Family Portraits The only thing missing from these photos is any real sense of self-awareness. Posing with guns is a strong motif in these photos.

Today is National Donut Day. Or, as the NSA calls it, “Hey, We Saw That You Googled Whether Or Not Today Is National Donut Day, And Know That You Just Emailed Your Friends to Tell Them Today Is National Donut Day, And That You Just Called Your Best Friend to Ask to Meet at the Nearest Krispy Kreme for National Donut Day Day.”

Assume for a moment that some of these measures really have helped make our persons and property safer—are they worth it? Where and when was the public debate on whether they’re worth it? Was there no such debate because we’re not capable of having or demanding one? Why not? Have we actually become so selfish and scared that we don’t even want to consider whether some things trump safety? What kind of future does that augur? — David Foster Wallace (via theatlantic)

Making the rounds on the internet today, a mashup of classic Soul Train dance moves to Daft Punk’s new single “Get Lucky.” This video from YouTube channel shabadishabadu.

Enjoyed the song as well as the Soul Train moves. All of these dancers are out of my league. I could probably contend with the guy who kind of shuffled around with his hands in his pockets.
