...Bacon was entirely self-taught, and Picasso was hardly his only influence. Bacon's debt to Rembrandt's 1655 Carcass of Beef, for example, is obvious in his own renderings of raw meat. But when Bacon died in 1992, he left behind a London studio dominated by the reproductions, press clippings, published anecdotes and other worked-over memorabilia of one painter: Pablo Picasso. Such single-mindedness makes for a great two-person show...
Sfar and Trondheim's peculiar universe includes anthropomorphic animals, such as the clan of impolite rabbits who sit around the pub all day, mixed with monsters both familiar, like orcs, and new, like the Bermaw, a cute blob of meat that will jump down your gullet and expand until you burst. It all centers around the Dungeon, a giant castle filled with traps, labyrinths, monsters and gold, run as a business to attract adventurers seeking their fortune and fame.

The only difference is that some are regarded as pets, while others are seen as breakfast, lunch, or dinner...
What the Arizona lawyers did that fateful April day was to "Spam" the Net, a colorful bit of Internet jargon meant to evoke the effect of dropping a can of Spam into a fan and filling the surrounding space with meat. They wrote a program called Masspost that put the little ad into almost every active bulletin board on the Net -- some 5,500 in all -- thus ensuring that it would be seen by millions of Internet users, not just once but over and over again. Howard Rheingold, author of The Virtual Community, compares the experience with opening the mailbox...
