The Guess Who-Shakin’ All Over

There are thousands of really terrible band photos on albums but there’s not as many terrible band sketches on albums. This is one of the worst (BEST!) I’ve ever seen. This album came out on Springboard records. Who were a really terrible, bottom of the barrel reissue label. The Guess Who, were to the best of my knowledge five men. This sketch which adorns the back cover was done by Suzanne Kisslan and it looks like she thought the band consisted of four women and a coconut made up to look like a man’s head. Dan at work thought it looked like an old wizard and his wife with their three daughters. Anyway you look at it, it’s stunning

Four women and a coconut made up to look like a man’s head or an old wizard and his wife with their three daughters

Gorgo, the comic

I got a great gift a few days ago, Ditko Monsters, GORGO! (IDW publishing). The movie Gorgo (1961) was a Godzilla knock-off and bargin basement comic book publisher Charlton did a comic based on it. Steve Ditko (Spiderman) did the art and It’s some of my favorite work by him . The thing that stands out for me is that Gorgo and it’s mother only terrorize mankind when their sleep gets disturbed. That’s it, just sleep and who can’t empathize with that.
