The first w ill be held from 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday, with the regular Township Committee meeting to follow. The rest of the meetings are as follows: 7 p.m. Monday; 7-9 p.m. Feb. 11, with the regular committee meeting to follow; and 10 a.m. Feb. 20. A ll meetings w ill be held in the main meeting room at Town Hall. A major financial trouble spot for the township in 1993, according to most Township Committee members, is the state’s decision to cap the total amount municipal spending can increase from 1992 levels to 1.5 percent. This cap in­ cludes most budget items. By adopting an ordinance, the commit­ tee can increase spending on individual line items up to 5 percent more than 1992 levels. In order to save money, township o ffi­ cials are looking into insurance options, including cheaper plans and self-insurance. In a related matter at the Jan. 27 Town­ ship Committee meeting, Mayor Ernest Cote said that a list o f how much Holmdel Township employees earn would be avail­ able for a public hearing on a salary ordi­ nance at the Feb. 4 committee meeting. This list would include each job title, with the exact amount made by the person fill­ ing it, but would not include the employ­ ees’ names. Cote said that this is public information and had been requested in the past by members o f the public.

  • Don Martin Dies, Maddest of Mad Magazine Cartoonists
    The Miami Herald January 8, 2000 Saturday DON MARTIN DIES, MADDEST OF MAD MAGAZINE CARTOONISTS BY DANIEL de VISE AND JASMINE KRIPALANI Don Martin was the man who put the Mad in Mad magazine. He drew edgy cartoons about hapless goofs with anvil jaws and hinged feet who usually met violent fates, sometimes with a nerve-shredding SHTOINK! His absurdist vignettes inspired two or three generations of rebellious teenage boys to hoard dog-eared Mads in closets and beneath beds. He was their secret. Martin died Thursday at Baptist Hospital after battling cancer at his South Dade home. He was 68. Colleagues considered him a genius in the same rank as Robert Crumb (Keep on Truckin') and Gary Larson (The Far Side). But adults seldom saw his work. And Don Martin's slack-jawed goofballs weren't about to pop up on calendars or mugs. The son of a New Jersey school supply salesman, Martin joined the fledgling Mad magazine in 1956 and stayed with the irreverent publication for 31 years. Editors billed him as "Mad's Maddest Cartoonist." "He was a hard-edged Charles Schulz," said Nick Meglin, co-editor of Mad. "It's no surprise that Snoopy got to the moon. And it's no surprise that Don Martin characters would wind up on the wall in some coffeehouse in San Francisco." COUNTERCULTURE HERO If Peanuts was the cartoon of mainstream America - embraced even by Apollo astronauts - then Martin's crazy-haired, oval-nosed boobs were heroes of the counterculture. Gilbert Shelton, an underground cartoonist who penned the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, said Martin was the reason he first picked up the pencil.

  • Many Years Ago Al Jaffee Came in with a Piece That Used
    I Ma ha! wa anI thE SUI thl ilf "Many years ago Al Jaffee n C came in with a piece that h' used the word 'schmuck: and there was a big debate about whether the magazine should include that word. Today it would be nothing. rr 072 Desmond Devlin, who has contributed to Mad since 1984, agrees. "Culturally, Mad's impact has been immense, especially back when it was the foremost one-stop source of mockery and criticism;' he says."Mad synthesized the nagging doubts that millions of Americans had about their society, and it demonstrated that iconoclasm would sell to a mass audience. Readers had their suspicions confirmed, and were introduced to new suspicions. "It isn't as if presidents had never betrayed their oaths before, and it isn't as if advertising suddenly got amoral in 1955;' Devlin adds. "But the package Mad has put out, and the attitude it promoted, has long since become a norm:' Mad entered this world in 1952 as a comic book. conceived, written and edited by Harvey Kurtzman and published by ECComics. The first few issues of Mad satirized the era's most popular comic books and comic strips, then Kurtzman started expanding his focus to include other aspects of popular culture, such as supermarkets, restaurant dining, motion pictures and television. Kurtzman delighted in experimenting with style and design, especially on Mad's covers. The cover for issue 19, for example, looks just like a horse-racing form, while the cover of issue 20 is an exact replica of a black composition notebook.

A local high school boy is quickly arrested, but the Chief can’t shake his nagging feeling that another explanation lurks in the shadows of his quiet little town. Joining forces with a once-respected investigative journalist, they start digging beneath the surface.

The Comics Journal, October 25, 2013. Version of record available at: http:// www.tcj.com/my-friend-dave/ My Friend Dave | The Comics Journal Blog Features Columns Reviews Listings TCJ Archive ← Modern Thinking Morning Becomes Renee → The Spain Interview In this two-part interview, Gary Groth talks to Spain about Catholicism, working in a factory, rebelling against Monsters Eat Critics authority, teaching, the underground comix movement and Zap, and Nightmare Alley. Continue reading → My Friend Dave BY CRAIG FISCHER OCT 25, 2013 Alphabet In his book The Avant-Garde Finds Andy Hardy (1995), Robert Ray argues that film studies has fallen into a rut where most writing follows “the routinized procedures of any academic field,” and where the typical title for a publication or conference presentation is “Barthes, Brecht, Bakhtin, Baudrillard, and all those other people, and Robocop” (5). Ray then suggests that we rouse film studies out of stagnation by abandoning traditional scholarship, at least for a while, in favor of playing surrealistic games with our subject. Movies surprise, infuriate, delight us: unconventional forms of criticism might do the same. One of Ray’s games involves the alphabet. Borrowing a method from Roland Barthes’ eponymous biography, Ray suggests writing criticism in a series of short, “alphabetized fragments, including at least one for every letter” (120). These “alphabetized fragments” can be epigrams (à la Nietzsche), metaphors, anecdotes, lyrical descriptions, short bursts of analysis: what they won’t be is a predictable elaboration of an over-determined thesis.

  • Comic-Con ‘18 1 CAPS Invades 0 San Diego
    Summer 2018 CON SEASON THE COMIC ART PROFESSIONAL SOCIETY President’s Message Greetings, CAPSers! Before I accepted the position of President, I sought advice from a number of my predecessors and other long-term CAPS members. One of the suggestions I heard was that CAPS may have outlived its usefulness, that all the things it was created to do are now done online. I don’t believe that’s entirely true. Yes, the Internet allows us to continue that mission and broaden our reach beyond the geographic boundaries of Southern California. While our local group is always the center of CAPS, there’s no reason why we can’t or shouldn’t increase our Associate Membership, and the internet can facilitate that. Social Media offers incredible opportunities for networking, sharing information, and socializing among cartoonists, but I believe that this merely alters the methods and priorities of CAPS, but it doesn’t eliminate our purpose. In fact, one aspect of our mission is now more important than ever: actual face-to-face interaction, getting to know each other in real life. This is why we are experimenting with involvement with conventions. In the past, it never made sense for us to have a table at cons, because we are not a “consumer facing” organization; apart from hosting members at a booth for sales, sketches and signings, we don’t have a lot to offer the public as an organization. Handing out brochures at a table is not going to reach many people who are eligible for membership. But as conventions become more expensive to table at, and as the number of conventions continues to multiply, it seems that a CAPS table is a good way to provide our members with space that they might not otherwise have.
