The terrific shot above is of George Segal working on his wonderful "Cinema" sculpture, taken by Fred McDarrah in 1964. "Cinema" is one of the many amazing works from the 1960s in the Albright-Knox. Both the photo and the sculpture were given to the gallery by, who else, Seymour H. Knox, Jr.
My grandmother Isabel Curry Nolan, fashionably keeping her hands warm in Buffalo. My friend Jon Ward informs me that this was also known as a "snood."

I just love to see houses decorated with lights. If they were kept on all year, that would be all right by me. Merry Christmas, everyone. God Jul to my Swedish friends and family.
From 2007.
Holiday card by: Isabella Bannerman
Another great one by Isabella. Merry Christmas, everyone.
A postcard from my mother, Christa Paul, to her grandmother Natalie Paul. Mom and Dad had just returned to America via the MS Kungsholm after their wedding in Stockholm. Natalie had moved from Berlin to Säffle, Sweden. I wonder if she had the bust with her. Her husband Adolf had been dead since 1943 and the money was gone, too. The card reads, "Dear Grandmother and Aunt Hedda, heartfelt greetings after a rather stormy crossing. All is well. Love, Christa." If you look closely after Mom's signature, you'll see a plus sign. She had meant Dad to sign the card as well, but he forgot.
Today's Bannerman Six Chix cartoon. It's progress, Rudolph... of a sort.
Beautifully drawn, isn't it?
This year's Christmas card by Six Chix cartoonist Isabella Bannerman. Happy Holidays, everyone.
Below, the famous Pizza Rat video posted by Matt Little:
My friend Howie Mook spotted this on eBay. Sweet! Sahlen's hot dogs are—and this is not a matter of conjecture but fact—the world's finest. Especially when grilled up on a Broil-Air.
