Music

• Luca Turilli - Prophet of the Last Eclipse

• Doonesbury gets serious

  Funny thing: I saw the tail end of a news crawl that was something about a cartoon character losing a leg in Iraq, and I knew. In all of cartoonland, it occured to me in a flash that there was one obvious candidate: BD in Doonesbury.
