TRUE TALES OF CALIFORNIA!

What a wonderful week it's been...stomach bug, followed by hives, then a root canal. Awesome. At the dentist, the technician joked that I was not going to get Vicodin, haha, but tylenol with codeine instead. Hilarious. Well, it reminded me of this TRUE TALE OF CALIFORNIA....

Circa 2000...I was working at Gonluco Printing. My forearms were killing me. The combination of typing all day, playing guitar, and painting illustrations provided nonstop work for my arms. I developed tennis elbow and it was fucking painful. I had no health insurance. I remembered a work-related immediate care clinic on the way to the mall. I went there and had the following conversation with the doctor.

(after discussing my tennis elbow.)
DR. So how do you deal with anger and stress? You seem pretty stressed.
RP. Uh, I talk to people about it...I'm in a band.
DR. Do you have any pot? I think you should try that.
RP. ....(I didn't know how to respond, light chuckle I think)...
DR. I think you should smoke some pot.

Then he gave me some muscle relaxers and sent me on my way.

CAPTAIN MIDNIGHT DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE HE ONLY DID IT ONCE.

What?
Are you surprised?
I'm stayin' alive, I spit in your eye, Drive a stake in you
Take me away, take me away
I gave you the world, it was all for you
But I'm sick and tired of wasting time, I want mine
Take me away, take me away
I gave you the world, it was all for you
Stinkin' lies, stinkin' lies, stinkin' lies

SPY VS. SPY

Spy vs. Spy is a wordless black and white comic strip that has been published in Mad magazine since 1961. It was created by Antonio Prohias, a Cuban national who fled to the United States in 1960 days before Fidel Castro took over the Cuban free press.

The "Spy vs. Spy" cartoon was symbolic of the Cold War, and was Prohías's comment on the futility of armed escalation and détente. Under the Spy vs. Spy title panel, the words "BY PROHIAS" are spelled out in Morse code (-••• -•-- •--• •-• --- •••• •• •- •••).

For The Mad Generation group show at The Gallery at East Atlanta Tattoo, I'm doing a couple pieces based on Spy vs. Spy.
