Many of us who grew up with the Internet and social media might not remember reading comic strips from newspapers or magazines. As a kid growing up in the 80s, my family would get the Sunday newspaper which would have all the comic strips in one section – the Sunday Funnies. I absolutely could not wait to dive-in on reading new stories of Prince Valiant and the Peanuts gang.
One of the most popular characters from the Sunday comic strips was space adventurer Flash Gordon. At this time, Philip Nowlan created the original sci-fi star Buck Rogers, thus giving birth to Alex Raymond’s creation of Flash Gordon that debuted in Sunday newspapers on January 7, 1934. Raymond introduced the world to film-like realism, futuristic worlds, exotic women, and just plain fun stories.

In The Cocktail Waitress our protagonist is Joan Medford, a beautiful young mother who recently became a widow after her abusive husband got into a deadly car accident. She takes a job as a waitress in a seedy local cocktail lounge to make ends meet and to take care of her young son. At the Rose Garden Lounge is where she meets two men that will change her life – a rich, old man, Earl K White III, and a good-looking charmer named Tom Barclay. As Joan’s relationship evolves with these two men – danger and drama unfold. As the reader, you will decide if Joan Medford is a femme fatale or an innocent bystander that’s always at the wrong place at the wrong time.

The Games of Thrones Visual Guide to the Faces of Season 1.
All they need now is to make a guide for Season 2 and 3. This would be plenty helpful since there’s so many characters involved – not that I’m complaining.
As kids growing up, didn’t we all love dinosaurs? We learned about dinosaurs in school and at the museums. For me I think it was the Transformers’ Dinobots and Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park that really got me into dinosaurs. I always thought art & science were separate worlds, but they are interwoven here with one another – Dinosaur Art. Paleo-artists take fossils from extinct species and bring them back to life in the form of drawings, paintings, and digital mediums, like CGI and Photoshop.

The answer please. Is this your final answer! Well, it’s actually not a photograh, but a drawing of a girl using only Bic color ballpoint pens! Amazing. Artist Samuel Silva took inspiration from a photo by Russian photographer Kristina Tararina. He took around 30 hours to draw this and used 8 different colored Bic ballpoint pens (what a great ad plug for Bic!).
To check Samuel’s quick Q&A and more images of his artwork, go to: Deviant Art – Viana Arts.
