Directions to Mattie Earp's Gravsite
May 21, 2013
With the dedication of the new fence around the graveyard where Wyatt Earp's second wife is buried, we have been getting quite a few calls from interested subscribers who want to find the cemetery, just outside Superior, Arizona. We decided to have The Mapinator draw up a good map for you all to utilize (when you're driving out there blind it ain't fun). So, without further ado, here's Gus Walker's map with directions:

More In-dins On Indians, Cowboy Pickups & Military Channel Gunfighters
May 20, 2013
Spent the morning out at Pioneer Living History Museum taping a talking head deal for a new series the Military Channel is producing on Gunfighters of the Wild West.
This morning I whipped out a cowboy pickup cruising down a desert highway at night, with an Indian motorcycle bearing down:

Yarnell Hill, Cowboy Pickups and Highway Heatwaves
May 19, 2013
I've been studying old pickups driving down the road with a makeshift horse hauler rack on the back for a scene in The 66 Kid. Found some good reference in a certain old movie. It was filmed in Sedona, starring Glenn Ford and Henry Fonda. Can you name it?…

Lola Ginabrigida vs. Gina Lolabrigida
May 17, 2013
I found out last week I have ADD and OCD. Everything has to be perfect, just not for very long. Now it turns out I evidently have another affliction, as it relates to yesterday's blog post:
"You mean Gina Lolabrigida, don't you?"
—CJW
Yes, of course, it's Gina Lolabrigida, not Lola Ginabrigida, the Italian actress from the 1950s with the big talents. Dang! Now it looks like I have Lexias-Dick: rather than…

An In-din On An Indian In In-din Country
May 16, 2013
When I do my six drawings in the morning I just let it fly and whatever comes into my mind while I'm noodling, I put down on the page. First, I was noodling a fifties bullet bra babe and that made me think of Lola Ginabrigida, then I thought of Lola Montez and that led me to Zona Montez (and suprisingly not to Chris Montez, the singer of the fifties classic "Let's Dance"):

Perfume Pass & Red Highway Meet The 66 Kid
May 14, 2013
Still on the march to read about and see every road picture I can get my hands on. Actually watched "Harry & Tonto" where a 55-year-old Art Carney plays 75. Had its moments, but not my cup of tea.
Watched Two-Lane Blacktop a while back and enjoyed them being on the actual road (as opposed to filming in the San Fernando Valley and faking everything). Here are James Taylor (the Driver) and Dennis Wilson (the Mechanic) actually driving up through…

Jeanne Sedello Is Still Cut
May 13, 2013
After a speech in Phoenix on Friday, I met up with radio legend Jeanne Sedello at her new home below Camelback and 49th Street. Had some wine sitting in her new kitchen while an electrician worked around us and we solved some life and revisited some crazy radio times together on KSLX and Young Buck. Jeanner, as we call her, is still cut (defined muscles) and was the model for a cartoon character I created called La Gata.…

Nick Narog Is A Newsstand Hero
May 13, 2013
As you probably know, we have a rough time on the newsstands of America because we are a small player in a very large corporate world. Big magazine publishers, like Hearst, with over a hundred titles, can command shelf space and push out little guys. That's why it's so important to us to have such faithful readers like Nicholas Narog.
"After several months of complaining- the Barnes and Noble in the Mall of America now carries a certain…

Worth The Meeting?
May 9, 2013
We had a very contentious Design Review meeting yesterday. Lots of loud talking and swearing on my part. Got a headache, even. Got into it over the effectiveness of our house ads. I come from the institutional-ad school of marketing (Got Milk?) and Ken Amorosano comes from the ask-for-the-order school of marketing (Buy Now! Operators Are Standing By! Call This Toll Free Number!). This leads to ads that start out like this:
