HERE’S OUR JANE!
Posted on February 24, 2015
To say that Australian actress Margot Robbie made a splash in 2014’s Wolf of Wall Street would be an understatement. She was hot, sure, but she also showed off serious acting chops across from Leonardo DiCaprio. She landed magazine covers and earned fashion’s love—and then she disappeared. But now she’s back, blowing up social media with those same model-like looks that earned her so much attention in the first place.

The Girl from Hollywood – Another Classic Web Comic
Posted on February 23, 2015
Developed from a story by Edgar Rice Burroughs The Master of Adventure
Hollywood was a prime destination for beautiful young women in the 1920s. These women arrived from out in the country and other cities. They came full of hope of becoming major stars in the newfound motion picture profession. But most were at risk of falling under the influence of agents who had many ways to control their destiny. Women who grew up in the Hollywood area had more solid roots but even they would yield, at their peril, to the promises made to them but never kept.
Edgar Rice Burroughs gives an early look into the subculture of Hollywood, with drugs directing human activity, that continues to this day. The New York Times described The Girl from Hollywood as “a fascinating cultural document about a California ranch family ruined by booze, dope and movieland promiscuity.” During Prohibition, alcohol use was common, but distributors had to keep it hidden, hoping to not be discovered by the authorities. But hiding was next to impossible – so framing someone else for murder was one way to throw the authorities off your trail.

Tarzan Books Printed Over the Last 100 Years
Posted on February 19, 2015
Excellent article about all the Tarzan books that have been printed over the last 100 years by the Owl:
The literary Tarzan was born in October, 1912 when he appeared in a special issue of The All-Story, a popular magazine which usually serialized its stories in several issues, but the editors were so impressed with “Tarzan of the Apes” that they published the entire story in one issue. The author was, of course, Edgar Rice Burroughs, who was born in Chicago in 1875 and was virtually unknown to the reading public before Tarzan leaped into print in All-Story. Actually, it was the second story of Mr. Burroughs to be published in All-Story. His first story was a Martian romance which ran as a six-part serial from February to July, 1912, published under the pseudonym of “Norman Bean.” The story had been retitled by the editor as “Under the Moons of Mars.” Burroughs had used the pseudonym of “Normal Bean” to convince readers that he was not off his rocker by writing a fantasy of little green men from Mars. But the editors thought it was a typo and changed the name to “Norman Bean” when they published it. This ruined Burroughs’ little joke, so he dropped the alias and submitted all future stories under his own name. When Tarzan was first published in 1912, the title page read: “Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs (Norman Bean)” to identify the real name of the author of “Under the Moons of Mars” for the reading public.

The Perfect Tarzan and Jane Couple
Posted on February 18, 2015
Gisele Bundchen, super model and wife of Quarterback Tom Brady, knows what the good life really is.
In Gisele’s perfect world, she and her loving family would be out of the spotlight and deep in the jungle, living “like Tarzan and Jane.” “If I could choose, I’d be bare feet, with animals all around me and living in a tree house,” said Gisele, who made $47 million in 2014. “I’m at my happiest around nature.”

Mysterious cloudlike plumes bursting from Mars
Posted on February 17, 2015
USA Today reports an interesting phenomenon spotted by some astronomers:
Amateur astronomers have spotted huge cloudlike plumes erupting from Mars – a phenomenon that scientists are at a loss to explain. The bright flares, which have now died away, towered higher than anything else observed in the Martian atmosphere. Their tops reached some 150 miles in altitude, more than twice as high as the highest Martian clouds, and they sprawled across 300 to 600 miles, researchers report in this week’s Nature, a science journal.

Various criticis and bloggers around the web remarked the movie was an underappreciated gem, failing to attract the audience it deserves. A real shame, but our hero lives on in our comics!
