Ladies and Gentlemen, the Unbelievable Jerry Lane. (Hiccup!)

Just because it's been forlornly sitting in a folder for ages, here's an early seventies ad from a Newsday TV book for The Bounty, a restaurant in Hewlett. Please note that their Family Fun Time Sundays promotion features "UNLIMITED BOOZE." No wonder so many overworked Nassau County dads were such big Jerry Lane fans. ("I don't care if that strange man scares you, Junior, I said get in the fucking car!") I imagine Lane's menagerie of puppety oddballs (including Peppino the Purple People Eater) was especially delightful after six Rob Roys. And I like that he couldn't be bothered to give the harmonica-playing rabbit a name...

More Viskupic.

As promised, more Gary Viskupic Newsday artwork, as begun in a previous post...

Here's a color cover I missed, Kung Fu, 1973, now a sort-of tribute to the late David Carradine...

I had mentioned the great, weird TV movies from back in the day, and here's Viskupic's art for one of my favorites as a kid, 1975's The Legend of Lizzie Borden.Here's an intricate illustration that accompanied an article about the new show Project UFO, a favorite of mine as a nine-year-old in April 1978.
Viskupic offered amusing contributions to the annual Christmas editions.


Finally, some random illustrations that caught my eye.

And yes, even more Viskupic...

...and tells the world to eat my dust! In other words, I got the high-speed Innernets! No excuses now for long stretches between posts, although the home computer has now moved to our business (more on that another time, maybe) so we'll see if the relo impedes my bloggitude.

Tell your friends the Non-Parader is back! Zipping through cyberspace as a matter of fact! Now, off at last to see what this Bookface.com is all about...
