...dogs with even funnier-sounding names, the prize for best-in-show at the 127th annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show went to a Kerry blue terrier named TORUMS SCARF MICHAEL. The judges, who belong to that elite group of non-rappers who can say "bitch" a lot, chose Mick, as he's known for short, over 2,602 other contestants, including a bichon frise named Paray's I Told You So and a Newfoundland named Darbydale's All Rise Pouchcove. Neither Mick nor his owner, Marilu Hansen, will get any prize money, but Mick will get to breed with...

...contenders. Says Jamieson, "The exportability [to the U.S.] of black, urban, U.K. street music has always been hard. You need the clout of a major [label] to get somewhere and even then the U.S. majors always look to their own. It's the most insular market in the world." Mick and Keith may still be flying the Union Jack before millions of satisfied Americans (at least when they play together), but the days of British musical domination are gone, and are unlikely to return any time soon.

Each cover is also an homage to a different artist both high (Vincent van Gogh) and low (Frank Frazetta). On top of these pencils Mick Gray's expert inks move from dramatically heavy, but never muddy, to delicately ethereal, as the scene requires. The coloring, by Jeromy Cox, likewise has issue-length themes, from aquatic tones to grey wash to red and ultimately heavenly white and gold. Lastly, yes, even the letting, by Todd Klein, deserves kudos...

...knowledge that he actually has become the bad guy, that he’s abusing his gifts. The blonde gal is symbolic of his transfer from good-guy underdog, to a larger-than-life, ego-driven punk on par with the movie’s antagonist, Mick. The shallow Pamela’s interest in Scott is a meaningful indication that his wolfy activities have been misguided. At this point in the film, Scott has, almost without his own knowledge, become what he had earlier despised. His teammates hate him for his selfish play. He scares his classmates by displaying...

...obtain, by succeeding in a more honest manner, as plain Scott Howard, a skinny and hairless short dude. There is fitting drama in the movie’s final sequence as a non-wolfed-out Scott sinks his free throws to win the championship game against his rival Mick. Then, as Scott dismisses Pamela for Boof (the less attractive, yet less bitchy love interest) he takes his place as a champion of the underdog spirit...
