Apple

I decided to check out Apple’s new music service today. Looks pretty good. Just for yuks, I bought a song — “Glad and Sorry” by the Faces. I was hoping I could find the cover by Golden Smog, but no luck. Also no luck finding “I Can’t Stop Loving You” by Ray Charles, which has been stuck in my head ever since I saw Metropolis.

Funky Winkerbean

Funky Winkerbean started a new storyline a couple of weeks ago. It’s pretty neat. I’ve noticed the art has been showing a serious John Byrne influence, and I’ve been wondering if it’s just coincidence, or if it’s on purpose, or if maybe Byrne is assisting Batiuk, or something like that. Well, today’s strip actually had a reference to Byrne, so I guess maybe there is some connection. Either way, the strip looks nice and reads well.
