    Grace Slick is pretty cool these days. Unapologetically old, she spends her time making interesting paintings of rock stars and other subjects.

    Here’s a recent interview:

    And here’s a Web site where you can check out her paintings:

    Teresa, you’re toying with my technology, that K-Tel tracer is also known as a pantograph, the mechanism that “connects” the caternary wires to the electric motors on trams and trains.

    3hourtour, thank you! My alleged mind was going in the same direction, but I couldn’t have expressed it as well.

    I enjoy your comments all the time.

    know that these strips are done days/weeks in advance, but today’s (like Pibgorn and the volcano, and Garfield with the spider) probably should have been held back a bit, considering the missing 25 year old female snowboarder in Tahoe…..

    So many memories. i actually had one of these K-Tel tracers. I recall the results were pretty clunky.

    Another thing I had was a little plastic gimmick that you would clamp to a drawing board and peep through - with an angled mirror (and some orange smoke and unholy chanting) it would provide the illusion of what you were looking at projected onto your drawing paper, and then you could (supposedly) trace around it. Used to see ads for this in all the old comics. I’ll be dipped in bees if I can find an example illustration, though. And it never worked very well either.

    ”Why don’t you want to be a girl?” “Because I don’t want to pee with nothing at all.” Until I dug around a little bit, I had never heard the Freudian term “castration anxiety”…

    Billary (as we call ‘em here in The Natural State) is correct!

    Send me your name, mailing address, and a credit card number to process the handling charge and we’ll ship that photo out to you in 7-10 business days!

    P.S. I’m a Pisces too (aren’t all the really cool people Pisces?)

    P.P.S. In honor of shyX2 (I love her too, you know, Ushindi), I think we should make PBR the official beer of the TDL.

    P.P.P.S. Maybe we could make naked beer drunk snow frisking the official off duty winter activity of the TDL.

    I believe the Doritos bandits are Bathynomus Giganteus.

    I wonder if they are as tasty as lobster tail?

    Wolfie: check out this Wiki article on the camera obscura: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera_obscura Think your toy one was a version with plastic lenses and/or prism. I always wanted one of those–or an opaque projector–but reckon it was lucky I never sent them any $.

    Living Arts & Science Center in Lexington Ky has a classical C.A. large enough for 1 person to enter.

    Well, now that Old Wolf has translated that phrase and thank you for that, it brings to mind a National Geographic article on the Mennonites living in Canada? I seem to recall a picture with some young boys and girls having a distance contest.

    I follow your blog religiously, although the visit might not be registered since I’m subscribed through Google Reader. I find it a bit hard to follow the strip ‘cause I can’t subscribe to it (doesn’t have a feed) and I rely too much on the reader.

    People change.

    Over Here! Over Here!

    @ The Old Wolf - we used to have a commercial version of the image projector at school, we called it the lucy, which was short for Lucigraph I think.

    @ NoMo’ol’tomcats - if you ever get out to California, there is the most amazing Giant Camera Obscura in San Francisco. It used to be down at the cliff house next to the Musee Mecanique, also really cool, http://www.museemechanique.org/, http://www.museemecaniquesf.com/ But now it is down on Fishermans Wharf. It is big enough for many people to walk through and the lens revolves slowly 360 degrees so you get this vivd live action movie projected in front of you. http://www.giantcamera.com/

    Tracer-like devices go back a long way. Thomas Jefferson famously used one to copy all of the letters he wrote. It was called a polygraph:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygraph(duplicatingdevice)

    I visited Monticello a few years ago and saw it sitting in Jefferson’s office (not quite sure if it was the original unit he used). As an aside, Jefferson’s house is really cool, which he designed himself.

    Missing commenters: ejcaplulet lives in China. She may be visiting her inlaws, and doesn’t have computer access there. Dypak hasn’t been around for a long time. Sad, he was a fun guy. I haven’t seen Sloop for months and months. Ray-C still reads the comics, but has sworn off commenting for a while.

    @Hairebis, you really saw a lie detector at Monticello? Wow, I didn’t think Uncle Tom was that far ahead of his time. (what you saw is called a pantograph, not a polygraph, and yes, T. Jefferson really is my multi-great uncle - I’m a direct descendant of one of his sisters).

    @runar: Yes, as Baslim pointed out, the specific device Jefferson used was called a Polygraph, whose name makes a lot more sense etymologically as a duplicator than a lie detector: poly = many, graph = writing.

    Lots of giant isopods…

    http://tinyurl.com/29u8gug

    I like the plushie Cthulhu but the line drawing with the caption “I feel pretty” is available on totes and T’s from the Questionable Content webcomic… (Hey, even giant isopods have a right to self-esteem).

    I believe “lucy” is from “camera lucida” I think I have the remains of a cheapie plastic one in the attic somewhere… and probably a wooden pantograph as well.
