This is a 1970 John Stanley ‘s recreation from Marge’s Lulu and Tubby Halloween Fun #6 seen over at Heritage Auctions. Alas! Always short of money…

According to Heritage, it’s “taken from a 1957 Dell comic book cover originally finished by Irving Tripp. Stanley added considerable detail missing from Tripp’s version“. There are substantial differences between them, both in technics and character design. So Tripp’s version has the 1950 children’s book distinctive appearance so often associated to Little Golden Books, whereas Stanley’s freestyle, being much more conventional, does without connections: Witch Hazel’s face has a more wicked expression here -actually, the facial traits reminds me Miss McGargoyle’s, and Tubby’s attitude seems to me more baffling, as if it would contain something’s beyond astonishment…

More Stanley’s original art here.

Your perfect prospect has people picking at their attention all day long. What’re you gonna do to stand out?

Hey You,

It’s Lewis aka Nerd #2.

Today I’m gonna share with you amazing guide for what I believe to be one of the most effective, fastest and cheapest ways to get a relationship started with a person you want to make some money with on a joint venture, affiliate, a consulting contract, or a copywriting project… using only one 100-200 word email.

This email method puts an end to your fear of picking up the damn phone and cold calling a hit list of ice cold prospects who you’d love to work with.

And if you ask anyone who’s hit the big leagues with their business and had it start making serious money, it was the meeting of and connecting with, one person who got the ball rolling and gave them the momentum they needed to really make a name for themselves.

But how you do you introduce yourself to an established authority or your ideal prospect with one tiny email without looking like a total pussy begging for help or an arrogant douche canoe know-it-all? Great question. There’s an art to finding just the right balance, but first you have to realize…

This Is Different Than Email Marketing, a Salesletter, or a Follow-Up Auto-responder

Email marketing consists of you having a list of people who’ve given you the green light to email them your newsletter or other announcements from you. And you might blast the same exact message out to dozens or even thousands of people.

I know it’s not Halloween, but I wanted to put in my weekly plug for Barnacle Press.  It’s always inspiring to look back on these vintage newspaper comic strips and see what it was like before the watered-down gag panels of today evolved.

Remember — “The goblins ‘ll get you if you DON’T WATCH OUT!

The earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan late last week impacted me more than most natural disasters do. I’m not sure why exactly, though I have some theories. One of my very good friends was drowned in a riptide in Panama a few years ago, and there are definitely echoes of his passing in the footage I’ve seen of Japanese cars and homes and people being swept away. Same goes for one of my favorite ever drummers, Mieszko Talarczyk of the Swedish grindcore band Nasum, who was killed by the tsunami in Thailand in 2004. I think it’s especially affecting to see a country that we hold up as an exemplar of technological and engineering achievement be ravaged by the same natural forces that have existed since the beginning of time. Mankind can strive for dominion over the earth as much as it wants. Mother Nature will still take her toll.

Like many of you, I turn to music to help in tough emotional times. Here are a few Japanese artists that I turn to for healing. In the comments field, let us know what music has helped you get through difficulty.
