Horror and Comedy: True Bedfellows

Banes at 12:00AM, Oct. 6, 2016




I have a high interest in comedy. Writing and drawing it, reading and watching it, studying and cuddling it.

I can recall the exact ...

If you're not Canadian, or spent some time here, it's fairly unlikely that you've heard of the Tragically Hip. It's not impossible, of course, and you may have heard of them recently, with the band going on its farewell tour ...

kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, July 25, 2016


-Art by Mark Rothko, Red Orange Orange on Red, 1962
