For animation books that have been out of print for decades, these ones I found online recently are in pretty good condition (and reasonably priced).

Dundee and The Culhane (1967) was canceled after 13 episodes.

This indictment will only break through if people actually read it. That’s the only way to shatter the carapace that certain media echo chambers have created to protect Trump’s supporters from inconvenient facts that might make them blink as they emerge from a long slumber.

Character Actor

Douglas Fowley (born Daniel Vincent Fowley, May 30, 1911 – May 21, 1998) Film and television actor in more than 240 films and dozens of television programs, He is probably best remembered for his role as the frustrated movie director Roscoe Dexter in Singin' in the Rain (1952), and for his regular supporting role as Doc Holliday in The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp. He is the father of rock and roll musician and record producer Kim Fowley.

For several seasons, Fowley played the key supporting role of John H. "Doc" Holliday in the 1955-1961 western television series The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp after having appeared as Doc Fabrique in the show's premiere season. This role allowed Fowley to demonstrate his flair for comedy and other acting skills as a clever, sharp-witted, sardonic, cynical, alcoholic, poker-playing foil to the square-jawed, milk-drinking, church-going Wyatt Earp (Hugh O'Brian), whom Holiday nicknamed "Deacon" due to his rigid sense of morality. Not at all so encumbered Doc would occasionally take the law into his own hands behind Earp's back to protect his friend from legal action or even death when the marshal was legally or morally ham-strung. Holliday, as played by Fowley, having no problem working around morals or the law, could be either hilarious or cold-blooded.

From 1966 to 1967, Fowley portrayed Andrew Hanks in Pistols 'n' Petticoats,  a CBS sitcom. Hanks was the patriarch in a family of gun-toting women who seemed to have little need for male assistance.

Fowley portrayed retired businessman Robert Redford in Detective School (1979).

In the 1950s, he appeared as himself on NBC's The Donald O'Connor Show. In 1954, he demonstrated his comic appeal when he appeared alongside Gracie Allen in The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show. He was cast in 1956 as Bob Egan in the "Two-Fisted Saint" episode of the religious anthology series Crossroads. He portrayed a con man in two episodes of the NBC sitcom It's a Great Life. He also guest-starred on Reed Hadley's CBS legal drama The Public Defender. He appeared, too, on the ABC situation comedy The Pride of the Family and on the NBC Western series The Californians and Jefferson Drum. He was cast on two Rod Cameron series, the syndicated City Detective and the Western-themed State Trooper, and in John Bromfield's series, U.S. Marshal. He guest-starred in the David Janssen crime drama Richard Diamond, Private Detective and guest-starred in season two, episode four of the Robert Culp Western Trackdown.

In 1959, Fowley appeared with Frank Ferguson in the episode "A Race for Life" of the CBS Western series The Texan, starring Rory Calhoun.

In 1964, Fowley made a guest appearance on the CBS courtroom drama series Perry Mason playing agent Rubin Cason in "The Case of the Bountiful Beauty". In 1965, he was cast as Sorrowful in episode 83 of the series The Virginian. In 1966, he appeared as "Rufus C. Hoops" in "The Search" season 2, episode 24, of the series "Daniel Boone". Original air date for this episode was March 3, 1966. In 1967, Fowley guest-starred on the short-lived CBS Western Dundee and the Culhane with John Mills.

In 1968, he appeared in episode 273 of My Three Sons as an old pal of Uncle Charley's. He had a role in the syndicated 1959-1960 Western Pony Express in the episode "Showdown at Thirty Mile Ridge". (Wikipedia)

Here I mention both fiction books and nonfiction. Opinion is purely subjective

This is all for you my fellow Tombstone fans. Thank you for being here

upd. second part here  and third part here

Disclaimer: I can read and understand English perfectly, but unfortunately  I write only with the help of two translators, mental anguish and God's help

Doc Holliday The Life and Legend - Gary L. Roberts This is a great biography 10/10. I recommend

Wyatt Earp - Casey Tefertiller This is a great biography 10/10. I recommend. This and previous biography are must have

Inventing Wyatt Earp - Allen Barra  It  is both a biography and a great research into Wyatt’s mythological image through years and generations. But a little warning, the author VERY LOVES Wyatt, be careful of little whitewashing of history. Author ship docatt, i swear

Murder in Tombstone - Steven  Lubet This is an INVALUABLE book with the analysis of the trial of the Earp brothers and the American judicial system of late 19th century. I wanna kiss author’s hands

The last gunfight - Jeff Guinn The author does not focus on personalities, but rather explores the historical context and the reasons that led to the Tombstone shootout. This is also an invaluable nonfiction book. He sneers a lot and jokes in the course of the narrative  both over the debunkers and the whitewashers. Author ship docatt, i swear

The Earp desicion - Jack DeMattos the book is entirely devoted to the description of the fight where Wyatt refereed the legendary s h i t s h o w between Robert Fitzsimmons and Tom Sharkey in 1896. Good neutral book

The Earp brothers of Tombstone - Frank Waters Author claims that his book is nonfiction true story. But this book is a F U C K I N G DEBUNKER  B U L L S H I T. HELLO FROM 60S-70S. Really, Frank Waters can suck my dick. I am RAGING. It is full of foolish exaggerations and outrageous lies that pretend to be based on Allie's Earp (Virgil’s widow) memoir (she hated her husband's brothers, especially Wyatt). and the Cowboys are Good Guys (™). You can read this book just to understand how much my ass burns

Wyatt Earp: a vigilante life - Andrew C. Isenberg Haha debunker pseudo-nonfiction shit again. The author uses a lot of unreliable far-fetched sources and has a hyperfixation on masculinity. Also he suffers from internal homophobia. I have a feeling the author jerks off on Wyatt and hates himself for it

Doc Holliday, the gunfighter - Matt Braun Actually, a really good fiction book written very pleasantly and close to the real life truth, about John Henry’s transformation into Doc

The fourth horseman - Randy Lee Eickhoff This book is even better written than the previous one. An interesting half-truth about Doc, a good fiction. A slightly mystical explanation for Doc’s luck and his known volcanic temper. Author ship docatt, i swear

Black hats - Patrick Culhane Very nice fiction book on the adventures of Doc’s son and elderly Wyatt during prohibition. Alcohol, gangsters, Al Capone. A son is a carbon copy of his father, which causes Wyatt some fEeLingS and nostalgia. I cried. And elderly Wyatt is HoT. Apparently, Kate fucked halfdead Doc in his final days in Glenwood 

The winter wolf - Richard Parry This book is pure fiction about the adventures of Wyatt's son from Mattie. Unlike Doc's son, Wyatt's son is an idiot. I wanted to smash his head against the wall. Repeatedly. Dumb shit

Doc - Mary Doria Russel and Epitaph - Mary Doria Russel F I C T I O N. Doc started well. These books even concentrate on Doc's being a dentist. He makes Wyatt dentures (in this books father knocked out Wyatt's front teeth many years ago, so Wyatt NEVER smiles). I also suspect that this Wyatt is likely somewhere on the autistic spectrum (it is popular trope in  tombstone fiction really) and has an anger control problem. At first author seems to ship Wyatt and Doc, but at the end of the Epitaph, the author remembered that she was writing a sEriOuS wOrk, not a slash fanfic. And made a completely ugly ending. But the chapter of Wyatt’s fury road is BEAUTIFULLY  written. 

Bloody season - Loren D.Estleman It’s a slightly dull fiction book about Tombstone events. The author has hyperfixation on dicks, on the color of dicks, on urination and defecation processes. And Doc is wifebeater (i hate this trope). But sometimes there are good jokes here. Sometimes

Trouble in Tombstone - Richard S. Wheeler Nice simple half-truth fiction retelling of the original events. The scene of the last goodbye is heartbreaking. Author ship docatt, i swear

Gunman's rhapsody - Robert  Parker Not bad fiction book. This Wyatt is likely somewhere on the autistic spectrum too. And he has a weird attitude about killing people.He doesn't give a flying fuck. For him, killing a man is like going to a grocery store. But it's interesting to watch

The frontier world of Doc Holliday - Patricia Jahns The half-fiction book started out pretty good but ended in the deepest hell. The author loves John Henry Holliday very much, but dislikes Doc Holliday. Even more, she dislikes Doc Holliday in a duet with Wyatt. And she loves when Doc suffers. The author can suck my dick

O.K. - Paul West The book started out pretty good but ended in the hell too, damn. Very loyal to Wyatt, Doc follows the Earp clan, because he senses that brothers will soon have problems and wants to die in such a way that he will be remembered. But then the author did something to Wyatt's character. Wyatt turned out to be a duplicitous perverted asshole with a craving for moral exhibitionism. I dropped the book, sorry

I have read quite a few more articles, but they are all short and same, so I see no reason to mention them here

I'm in the process of reading another book now Dodge City - Tom Clavin so I don’t know yet what can be said about it.  I have few books in the plans: Tombstone travesty - Jane Candia Coleman, Bucking the tiger - Bruce Olds

Production art and stills from the 1964 John Hubley short, The Hat, about the absurdity of border lines.

One of the animators was Disney/Fleischer veteran, Shamus Culhane. (He animated the dwarves singing “Heigh-Ho” in Snow White, for example.) Culhane later wrote:

“At the beginning of a picture Hubley would pore over a random selection of art books. Seemingly they had no relationship to each other, but he was using them to inspire his own sense of design. However, the final appearance of a Hubley film was never blatantly derivative. In The Hat, for example, I have the feeling that he was influenced (if that is the right term) by Chinese scroll painting, but that is just my own intuition.”

♔ MY NAVIGATION ♔

0.5 TYPES OF REQUESTS I WRITE:

One-shots (1k words or more)

Drabbles  (below 1k words)

Headcanons (bullet point fics)

Blurbs (below 500 words)

Imagines (gif + a little blurb, around 500 words)

1.0 RULES:

Request via ask.

Always include what type of request you want me to write.

Specify because specification is very important as it helps me make your request as pleasing as possible, but try not to be too specific as I like the element of surprise.

If you want me to write something from my prompt list (click here): include the name of said character, category of the prompt and the prompt’s respective number (e.g. Jay Halstead, fluff 7). 

1.1 Note: If you don't include what type of request it is that you want me to cook up, I will choose the type myself so don't come at me if you wanted a 2K worded piece of work and instead got an imagine with 200 words!

1.2 Note: Mixing the prompt with a plot line of your own is allowed, just make sure to follow the rules (1-3). 

1.5 THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND:

Unless asked for, I will be writing with the Female!reader in mind (I like to exclude any gender relation and make it so that both genders could read and enjoy).

I respond to asks when the request has been qued to post and released on Ao3.

The maximum number of request you can send is 2. I know there is an option to send them in anonymously, but I really hope you will stick to this rule. Give others a chance to submit their wishes, and don’t make the line too big with by mass requesting (I close requests after I get around 30 requests).

Requests sent during seasons I have not watched or for characters that have yet to make an appearance in the show will not be written (exceptions exist).

I write one-shots but not a whole series unless I can see/want a continuation.

Themed requests (Christmas, Valentine's Day, New Year etc.) can be only sent during that time. I don’t accept Christmas requests during the month of May. The same goes for the rest.

I have every right to delete every request that does not fit within the rules stated above, or I feel uncomfortable writing. Also, it’s important to note that I don’t have inspiration to write every request that’s sent. It’s normal to not have inspiration, and because I prefer quality to quantity, if I see that I don’t have inspiration for a request then I will not write it.

Requests will be deleted if sent while my request box is closed. I won’t answer them as I feel like there is no need. On almost every informative post (+my bio, and if you’re on PC my theme under ‘blog status’) it will say whether the request box is closed or not.

English is not my first language but without digging myself my own grave this early on I want to say that I'm proud of how much I know, given that I never speak English unless in school.

Be nice because only constructive criticism is allowed. If you spot a grammatical error or a paragraph/sentence/word etc. that doesn't make sense, let me know. But be nice!

2.0 THINGS I DON’T WRITE:

LGBTQ+  topics/relationships (because I feel like I wouldn’t do a good job) 

Real people, send only requests for characters in my writing list

Ships or OC, send only reader inserts

NSFW (mature content stories)

Noncon

Dark!fics

Romanticized mental illnesses

S*icide scenes

R*pe scenes

Racism/slurs

2.1 Note: P*dophilia, r*pe, s*icide might be mentioned in my Chicago P.D, Fire, Med shots (or other), but I will never explicitly write about those subjects or write about anything that is about/centered around them.

2.2 Note: Explicitly written smut is a no, I will not write that. Try to refrain from requesting steamy scenes too, as I will only put them in myself were I to deem it necessary for the WIP.

2.5 THINGS I DO WRITE:

Angst

Fluff/ WAFF

Fusion/ Crossover

Daughter/Wife/Sister!Reader

Here is me trying to explain what kind of requests I also take [x]

2.6 Note: It’s hard to list but to make it easier for you guys, I will write about almost anything as long as it’s not on my 2.0 bullet.

3.0 POSTING SCHEDULE:

Posts are usually posted between 01:00 A.M. and 05:00 A.M. CET (Central European Time).

Check schedule to see what's been qued to post.

3.1 Note: This account is NOT my work place. Everything here is written when I have time and I feel like writing. Requests that I find more interesting will most likely be written and qued to post sooner. I advise you to follow my blog, check regularly and sit tight until you see that it's qued. You can always check my navigation page and click on 'schedule'. Or simply click here.

3.2 Note: I am not a doctor nor a firefighter nor a policeman. I research whatever I can before I start writing and sometimes that takes hours. Nothing is 100% accurate (especially for events set in Chicago Med) although I hope it is.

3.5 WRITING LIST:

3.6 Note: Requests are currently OPEN for all fandoms!!!

3.7 Note: Your requests do not have to be strictly romantic (Sibling!Reader or other are also (obviously) allowed).

---More shows and characters will be added through time

"please stay"

Huge thank you for @ladysantebellum and @fallonsliam for giving me an opportunity to express myself and the best work they did with organizing this event. I suck when it comes to tumblr so it isn't look so pretty as I want but I hope you will enjoy the content.

They came back to the Manor from The La Perla party. It was just after 11 pm. The night wasn’t perfect, her mother’s presence and Jeff Colby weren’t the perfect addition to the perfect first date, but Fallon had fun with Liam tonight, but obviously Liam didn’t. Something definitely was on his mind what made him sad and pensive.

“It was really nice evening.” Fallon said with gentle yet seductive smile on her face.

“ Yes, it was.” Liam answered, but Fallon could sense that something was wrong with him. Liam mumbled something what sounds like “goodnight”, he kissed her cheek and then he turned around and went to his room. Fallon walked into her room and closed the door behind her. She didn’t know what went wrong. She was lovely and sexy and she didn’t say anything stupid like she used to when she was around boys she likes. And she definitely likes Liam and she thought he liked her too.

Fallon took a quick shower, dried her hair and she put on lingerie, nothing sexy, just classic but this could affect Liam’s imagination. She went to his room. The door was partly open. She opened it and walked into.

“Knock knock.” she said with a smile, but that what she saw wiped the smile from her face. He was packing his things.

“ What are you doing?”

“ I’m packing.” Liam looked like a child caught on candy’s stealing. He didn’t expect Fallon at this time.

“ Our contract is clearly saying that I should leave the manor till midnight. It’s almost 12.30 am so I need to hurry up cause I missed deadline.” he quickly came back to being charming and amusing.

“ Don’t worry, I won’t call out our bodyguards to throw you out of the gate. You can stay here till morning.” Fallon smiled widely and sat on a bed.

“ You also can finish packing at the morning. “ Fallon added so that there would be no awkward silence between them.

“Thanks Fallon, but I’d rather do it right now. In the morning I will make sure I took everything.” Liam came closer to bed and looked at Fallon. She was thinking that he wanted to touch her or maybe even kissed her and then it hit her. She realized she was sitting on his clothes. She stood up and sat next to them. She felt her cheeks blushed. She is Fallon Carrington, she’s never blushed. But the heat of her skin proved that she wasn’t completely herself when Liam Ridley was near. But he seemed to not seeing her shame, he was still absorbed in packing his stuff.

“ You wanted to leave without saying goodbye, didn’t you?” she said sadly and when he raised his head, she knew he could sense the sadness in her voice.

“No, of course not.” he replied but this was the most dishonest answer she’s ever heard.

“Liar.” Fallon felt a metaphorical needle sticking into her heart. She’s never felt it before. Not even with Culhane, but with guy whom she knows a few days.

“ I wouldn’t go without goodbye.” Liam stopped packing,set his backpack on the floor and sat next to her on the bed.

“ I could not do it to you. But I think we both know it’s time for me to go.”

“ Didn’t you enjoy our date?” she knew she sounded a little bit desperate but she didn’t care about it then.

“ I did Fallon, really. I did enjoy our date. It was a wonderful night and also the last couple of days.” maybe unconsciously but he laid his hand on hers and squeezed.

“ So what is wrong?” she said. She looked deeply into Liam’s eyes. Her sight let him know that she would know when he would lie again. He took a deep breath and said.

“ I started to feel something for you Fallon. Seriously. I don’t know what exactly it is but I know it’s something.”

Fallon couldn’t see herself but she was sure her eyes were shining and her face was more red than before. She smiled shyly. Liam’s face was completely different. He didn’t blush like a virgin teenager. His face was tense and Fallon could barely read any emotions from it. He squeezed her hand more tightly.

“ Also I know that I couldn’t start nothing serious with you knowing that I lied to you since the beginning.”

“ What are you talking about? Is it a joke?” Fallon wrenched her hand free.

“ That woman, who we met in church on your grandfather’s funeral had right. She was old coworker of my parents John and Laura. “

“ Wait a minute.” Fallon stood up and came closer to the windows. “ That means your name is…”

“Jack” Liam said. He wanted to get closer to her but she stepped back.

“ Why did you lie in the courthouse that you are Liam Ridley? “ she reached her hand in front of her to let him understand that she didn’t want him to get closer to her.

“ I didn’t. “ Liam knew he screwed up and Fallon was angry at him. He needed to calm her down and made her listen to him.

“ Please, let me explain everything.” he stepped away to give her space.

“ You have two minutes. “ she folded her arms.

“ Please sit down” Liam came to her and he pointed to the bed. She decided to sit but she tried to avoid his touch. Liam understood her intention and kept his distance. Fallon sat on the bed and crossed her legs. She sent him eloquent look to let him know he could start talking.

“ Clock is ticking, one minutes left.”

“ Okay “ he sighed and he knelt in front of her. Fallon recalled her business class about body language.

He gave her a sign humbling himself before her that he gave up his resistance and he wanted to be completely honest with her.

“ My full name is Jack Liam Ridley Lowden Van Kirk. My parents are John Lowden and Laura Van Kirk - shareholders of Van Kirk Industries in New York.” Fallon raised her eyebrows and she looked at Liam’s face and it seemed like he didn’t lie. She heard about Van Kirks. They are rich and powerful like Carringtons, some big and small scandals. Maybe she even heard about his Liam’s parents, maybe Blake met them a couple years ago.

“ Okay but why you introduced yourself as Liam Ridley?”

“ I changed my name a few years ago. My family’s mess very complicated my career and also my personal life. I’ve decided to cut myself off of them, started new life with new name and crystal clear card in Atlanta. Now I’m officially Liam Ridley. But some people still know me as Jack Lowden. People like Julia Haart or...”

“ Julia knows who you are?” she interrupted his sentence in half a word.

“ She does. I worked with her company last year during the promotion for Vanity Fair. That’s why I’ve acted that weird. I was afraid that someone would ask you about me.” he really wanted her to believe his words but he knew it’s all sound like a crazy story from stupid Hallmark movie.

“ So you didn’t want me to know who you truly are?” she was definitely disappointed. Another man in her life who failed her.

“ Honestly I didn’t. But not because I wanted to lie you. It’s because this is my real life. You’re part of Liam Ridley’s life, not Jack Lowden. I just didn’t expect this whatever is between us will survive. It was supposed to be for one day and then we would go our separate ways. ” he laid his hands on hers and squeezed them. It took several seconds before he could raised his head and looked into her eyes and it took another several minutes for either of them to break the silence.

“ You know how insane your story sounds? “ he didn’t see tears in her eyes but he could hear how her voice broke.

“ Trust me I would sound more insane if I told you this story the day we met on the bench.” it was funny that he asked her to trust him. He was totally sure he’s the last person on Fallon Carrington’s trust list.

“ Anyway, I will take the rest of my stuff and go. I will not impose you anymore.” he released her hand and stood up.

“ Wait.” she said and stood between him and door. Liam was a little bit disorientated.

“ Look I appreciate that you told me the truth about your past and I understand why you didn’t tell me about it before, because it’s almost intimate and I’m like a stranger for you while you are my husband and I am your wife. Or was… It’s past midnight. “ Fallon felt stupid right now and she was talking through her hat, but she realized something. She realized she wasn’t ready to let Liam Ridley go.

“ Anyway you lied to me and you made me think that I am hopeless date, which I’m a great date, but it isn’t the worst thing someone did to me and I feel I can forget you, because you don’t know so many things about me too but you can know if you want to. And I totally feel that I’m talking bullshit. And I always talk like this when I’m talking with a guy I like.” Fallon said with clenched teeth. She was sure she was as red as a tomato and she probably embarrassed herself. But she felt light too. It was the first time she told someone she liked how she felt and it was a great feeling. She was also happy this person was Liam.

“ I like you Liam… Or Jack… But I’d rather call you Liam. I like you. “ she said it twice, in less than one minute, in the same sentence. Fallon never believes she was able to do it. What this man is doing to her?

“ I like you too Fallon Carrington.” Liam answered. His eyes were full of happiness and relief. He touched her chin and closed his mouth to hers and kissed her. It was only their second kiss but Fallon knew that the taste of his lips was her favorite. He broke it and she smiled and giggled like a little girl.

“ I’m not going to keep you in the Manor, you can go back to your place. But I really want to know you better and you to know me better. Please stay, stay in my life.”

4 Travel Tips for MDHS Students

By Hunter Culhane

With the new school year now in full motion, things are heading into high gear for students at Milton District High School — but the new school year may not be the only thing gears are turning for. Perhaps it’s gears from a bike that students ride to school on. Whether it’s a bike, car, bus, or something else, we’re here to help you find some new ways to do it smarter!

A fantastic mix of fast and fun, bicycles are a great way to get to and from school! Just remember to follow basic safety precautions: a helmet for riders under 18 is the law. In case you weren’t aware, there are many bike racks in and around Milton District! There’s a bunch of bike racks just outside the cafeteria, near the courtyard. Pro tip: lock your bike just west of MDHS, in front of John Tonelli Sports Centre, where there are also bike racks. Bikes are also eco-friendly and take up much less space than cars do. If everyone rode to and from school, there would hardly be any traffic around MDHS!

You probably know a lot about traffic if you’re one of those students who drives or gets driven to and from school. Getting in and out of the parking lot can become stressful. Before and after school, traffic can be quite heavy. Carpooling with your friends or getting to school early to avoid the rush before the bell rings is the smart and environmentally friendly thing to do! Pro tip: use the parking lot west of MDHS, at John Tonelli Sports Centre, for additional drop-off/pick-up space. It’s usually not to busy unless there’s an event going on at the arena.

But perhaps the car is too small for you. Is a bus big enough? No, not the school bus, the city bus! Did you know there are numerous Milton Transit bus routes that go to and from MDHS every day? Chances are, there is one that goes to your neighbourhood. There are two bus platforms on the east and west sides of Commercial Street, next to the football field, where buses arrive around 8:00 a.m. in the morning and depart around 3:00 p.m after school. They’re air-conditioned in the summer and heated in the winter, with comfortable seats too. Pro tip: have your bus pass, ticket or cash ready in hand when you board the bus so you get to where you need to be faster! You can visit MiltonTransit.ca for more information.

Walking to school is also a great option. While not ideal under every weather condition, it’s a great way to stay active. There are great trails alongside major roads in Milton, making for an enjoyable walking experience. Did you know there are ways to enter/exit Milton District from every direction? The front door is not the only way to get in and out! Pro tip: Know the nearest door from your first and last period classes. You can save a lot of time and avoid being late! There are many paths in and around MDHS that you may explore in the future!

So however you get to and from school, we hope we’ve made your journey smarter and safer! Use our pro tips to be on time and prepared for a new school year at Milton District High School! Maybe you’ll change the way you get to and from MDHS. Have fun biking, carpooling, taking the bus, walking, or anything else!
