Rocky & Bullwinkle, Season 4-- at last!
2 of 3 found this helpful After a long, long wait, the fourth season of this wild and wacky kids/adult cartoon series is finally available. Anyone who remembers the original broadcasts, with their gawky tongue-in-cheek artwork, their insanely implausible plots and their agonizing puns, will wonder why it took the producers so long to bring out this final collection. At least it is worth the wait. Strangely resembling the peculiar British lunacy of "The Goon Show" and "Monty Python--" although it aired long before either of those had American fans-- Jay Ward's cartoons drew on American popular culture dating from the 1950s all the way back to the 1890s. Some of his outrageous puns and gags might have gone over the heads of the kiddies, but the madcap action kept them happy, while the adults watching (and there were many) chortled over references to "Veronica Lake" (the shapely local pond where the Ruby Yacht of Omar Khayyam was discovered) and Wassamatta U, the struggling institution of lower learning that staved off bankruptcy by recruiting Bullwinkle the Moose as a football quarterback.
Still funny after all these years? You betcha. Dated? Not as long as any of its original fans are still around.

Japanese Prints: Images From the Floating World
1 of 1 found this helpful An oversize, paperbound volume of 38 pages, containing 24 Japanese woodblock prints of the classic era in The Art Gallery of South Australia. This is one of the most reasonably-priced but beautiful collections of the genre that I have run across. The book's large format-- 9X12 inches-- permits the various prints to be shown at a reasonable scale, while the color reproductions are very well done, accurately reproducing the subtle shading and delicate engraving of the originals, and even the grain of the wooden printing blocks. Printed on heavy paper and on one side only, the individual prints are suitable for framing and display. The informative articles by Jane Messenger describe and explain the various types of Ukiyo-e prints represented here: Kabuki prints, Begin-ga or scenes from the pleasure quarter of Kyoto, landscape and nature scenes, Surimono (poetry) prints, and heroic and legendary characters.

Two blades good, three blades unnecessary
3 of 3 found this helpful I started using the Gillette Sensor way back when it first came out, discarding my old electric, which always left a slight stubble. The twin blade moved easily and left my skin slick, while the three- and four-blade razors seemed pointless and excessive… they had a bulky working surface, dragged, didn't do any better job, and left one wondering when the fad-chasing manufacturers would go on to five blades, then six, then twenty. Two blades are fine. More is simply hype.
