We're getting new PCs at work. IT never got the ones we have now working right.

"Miss Silkbottom, Telex the Home Office and inform them that the new widescreen destop PC arrived just in time to watch the moon landing, and then make some coffee. Oh, and tell Dexter back there to quit playing with the HiFi."

Hell's Kitchen

I don't know which is more disturbing in this 1950s illustration-- the color combinations or the mother-daughter June Cleaver outfits.

Now we know what became of Kato

 Burke's Law was a witty and campy crime drama/comedy in the mode of today's MONK or PSYCH.


In a 1963 episode written by Harlan Ellison, Henry, Burke's Filipino chauffeur, mutters "I never had this aggravation when I worked for the Green Hornet!"

The episode features Burgess Meredith and Sammy Davis Jr as "Cordwainer Bird", Ellison's pen name. There is also a character named Devora Cato.

Pulp Art Gallery: Frank Soltesz

Not really a pulp artist is the strictest sense, but in a similar style. The only things "pulpish" I can find by him are some 1960s "men's adenture" type magazine covers.

Frank Soltesz' work can be found in several different areas: Men's magazine covers (a descendant of Pulp) , state map illustrations, landscapes, adevertising.

He was born in 1912 in Pennsylvania of Slovakian immigrants.
