For those who want to talk about other authors, but can't be bothered to go join other boards...

I didn't know that! How cool is that? I remember "Garfield Goose" and "Family Classics", but I don't think I saw the specials. (For those of you wondering what we're on about: Frazier Thomas)

I've never been to the Museum of Broadcast Communications. I might have to make a stop, tho, now that I know Garfield's there. 8)

(I was in a production of Camelot when I was about 11, as one of Morgan Le Fay's elfin court. I was part of a dance, then just sat on stage curled up in a ball, then danced off again.)
dotd, I think Parsifal is rooted in the Fisher king mythos, although I'm trying to remember if one of the Arthurian writers grafted it on to Arthur's legend? Not really sure.

The catholic church is the largest pro-pedophillia group in the world, and every member of it is guilty of supporting the rape of children, the ensuing protection of the rapists, and the continuing suffering of the victims.

Yea, they're all tangled together...IIRC, Wagners source was a tale that had already united the Fisher King and Arthur tales.

the hyperbole is a beauty...for we are then allowed to say a little more than the truth...and language is more efficient when it goes beyond reality than when it stops short of it.

He used to show it once a year in segments on Garfield Goose.

Well, he's been publishing for 30 years... :lol: Anyway, he's good...easy reading escapist stuff and interesting history.

One thing I really like is that at the end of each book, he tells you exactly where he's "interfered" with what actually happened.
