...cartoonist known as Jason, a 37 year-old Norwegian born John Arne S?ter?, really wants your attention. His first book, last year, asked us to "Hey, Wait..."

The book contains no dialogue. Still, readers should take the advice by quieting down to appreciate the deceptive simplicity of this interesting comix artist...
Lately she has developed an appreciation for jazz, thanks in part to the chart-topping debut album of her 23-year-old half-sister, Norah Jones.

I remember watching that performance with the same startled excitement that seized me when I saw Elvis's debut on the Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey "Stage Show" 18 months earlier. A sharp intake of breath, a gnarl of the stomach and an irresistibly bopping head could mean only one thing to a kid reaching puberty at the same time rock did: The revolution was here...
...cupidity and stupidity were nearly as inspired as their titles. "Mudhoney"! (A familiarly lurid tale of the drifter, the town bully and the yearning babe, with a supporting role for Maitland.) "Motorpsycho"! (A low-budget "Wild One" - the motorcycle crazies ride mopeds - with many worthy extras: a nice debut turn by Alex Rocco as a man whose wife the gang raped; a cameo by Meyer as the sexist sheriff who snaps, as regards Rocco's wife, "Nothin' happened to her a woman's not built for!"; and the legendary snake-venom scene where Rocco instructs leading lady Haji to "Suck...
