Isabella submitted this as a "Blown Covers" idea. I really like it.

High School Graduation, 100 Years Ago Today

Buffalo Central High graduates. An asterisk indicates each year as a "star" pupil. My grandfather Paul Nolan had two. His best friend Jake Sicherman had one. Of the students who had three stars, all but one were female. But they couldn't vote for nine more years. Note: There's a back page with more names but I didn't include it. Click to enlarge.

Beach Cartoon by Isabella Bannerman

I like to bring a lot of stuff to the beach, too. Umbrella, cooler, chair, radio, suntan lotion, paperback, binocs, camera, towel. I really like to eat potato chips on the beach. They taste best there. Below is my touching salute to them.

 

Hello Mr Chips

 

Weather Cartoon by Isabella Bannerman

New Audio CD: Welcome, Canadian Overlords

Just delivered from Disc Makers in NJ, a new collection of my audio essays. It includes popular interviews with paranoramal investigator Joe Nickell about the Lily Dale assembly in Western New York, and an interview with National Park Historian John Branson about Alaskan icon Richard Proenneke. The CD is beautifully art directed by my friend Kanad Banerjee and expertly engineered by my friend Ken Meyer. Cover illustration by none other than Isabella Bannerman. Hope to have it up on the site soon for sale, or shoot me a note.

Hippies Cartoon by Isabella Bannerman

This is one of my all-time favorite Bannerman cartoons. She's wearing Birkis. Me, too. Especially out in public with the kids.

Listen to Bring Out Your Birkis

Yeah, but it can't bring her a hot cup of coffee in the morning.
