It's easy to forget how great R. Crumb is. I posted the panel above by way of a reminder in honor of the artist's 61st birthday
-- 30 August 2004.
Many happy returns of the day, Mr. Crumb.
SHE WAS JUST SEVENTEEN
AND YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN
Awesome amazon babe Maria Sharapova demolished Serena Williams in straight sets to win the Wimbledon title in 2004.
Worship her.

SWING, SWING TOGETHER
In women's rowing they're just known as . . . The Twins. They're the Evers-Swindell sisters, Georgina and Caroline, from New
Zealand, mistresses of the double scull. They almost always smile their identical cheerful smiles, even in the last five hundred
meters of a 2000 meter race, an event they dominate. They took gold in thE 2004 games, shooting out to an early lead and never
relinquishing it. Their stroke is long and powerful and elegant, their endurance is awesome. At the awards ceremony they wore
matching sunglasses, and took them off at exactly the same moment, with a synchronized precision which seemed entirely unconscious,
to wave to the crowd after they'd been given their medals and their laurel wreaths. All the while they smiled their identical
cheerful smiles.
There is something spooky about these women.
COLD, SUBLIME, TERRIFYING
There are two kinds of celestial bodies in the universe -- spheres and discs. The planets of our solar system probably coalesced
from a disc of particulate matter around the sun. The icy disc of rings around Saturn may shed light on this process. The
images of these rings have a frightening inhuman quality, like 20th-Century abstract art. Kant drew a distinction between
the beautiful, which is encompassable by the mind of man, and the sublime, which is not.
Saturn is sublime.
