I Let My Fists Do The Talkin’

So, QI’s over. Have I Got News for You is on hiatus.

So, to fill the gap I’ve found Would I Lie to You, which actually may be almost as good as QI in terms of being funny as you’re guaranteed David Mitchell every episode and guaranteed Rob Brydon for every episode after the first 2 seasons. (And Lee Mack is pretty good, too)

There also are no British politicians taking up guest spots, instead it is frequently cast members of Eastenders which is as inscrutable as British politics.

Episode picked at random, as I watched all of the episodes one after another and they all kind of flow together making it hard for me to pick out a “best” episode to post here. It has Richard E. Grant in it because… why not?

Brandon Bird’s Law & Order art show was a huge success! Law & Order showrunner/L&O:CI co-creator/”brains of the operation” René Balcer even bought one of my prints. He bought every artpiece with Goren in it in the gallery.

Here’s the whole show: http://www.brandonbird.com/stories.html

Here’s a place to order prints of some of the pieces, including my Detectives Look for a Racist and Two Teens Disappear in a Museum, both printed on very nice watercolor paper & signed in an edition of 50 each.

I was in LA the last 10 days, so this is “old news.” If you didn’t see the 12 billion other blogs that wrote about it…

Ninety-six pages of full-color illustrated laffs and semi-true information written and drawn by me (and some other people, but mostly me).

This, inexplicably, is the first "official" Mad Men publication ever. It’s also the first Mad Men book that doesn’t have a red/black/white cover.

To be released on October 6, 2010.

You can pre-order now at Amazon...but in the unlikely even your town’s independent bookstore is carrying it, support your local and get it there. (I doubt they will, but Urban Outfitters will have it.)

*This is also coming out in Australia, UK, and Canada under different imprints. There may be some variation in the release date for those countries.
