I Married a Werewolf (Lycanthropus, 1961) & Where Has Poor Mickey Gone? (1964)

[proffessorgayton]

this is my long awaited intro post!!

I've had this account for a little over a year now, and just decided it was finally time to actually do something with it!

I won't give out my real name, but you can call me Clara!

basically im planning on some live-blogging and just other silly posts. I am not really sure what I want exactly but I'll figure it out. i have somewhat given up on regular posting, but i am online pretty much daily!

DNI: pro shippers and other weirdo's

my aks box should be open so feel free to ask/say anything!

a bit more about me under the cut!

about me: I am 14 years old and I am Dutch. I am a cis female and a lesbian (I am still figuring things out so that might change). I am not necessary weirded out by nsfw or other suggestive things but I won't reblog it. same applies to violence and gore and such. I am a bit anxious about talking with new people, but don't be scared to talk to me!

I don't have any side-blogs (yet). you can also find me on Discord! my user is clara_oswin. (with the dot at the end) I really want some friends so don't be scared to add me!

I'll put all my interest in the tags, so that's probably going to update a lot (I think)

When the KKK Murdered My Childhood Friend 

When the Ku Klux Klan murdered my protector, it made me see the world differently.

I was always the shortest kid in school, which made me an easy target for bullies. To protect myself, I got into the habit of befriending older boys who’d watch my back.

One summer when I was around 8 years old I found Mickey, a kind and gentle teenager with a ready smile who made me feel safe.

Over the years, I lost track of Mickey. It wasn’t until the fall of 1964, my freshman year in college, that I heard what had happened to him.

Several months before, Mickey, whose full name was Michael Schwerner, had gone to Mississippi to register Black voters during what was known as “Freedom Summer.”

On June 21, Michael and two other civil rights workers, James Chaney and Andrew Goodman, were arrested near Philadelphia, Mississippi by Neshoba County Deputy Sheriff Cecil Ray Price, for allegedly speeding.

That night, after they paid their speeding ticket and left the jail, Deputy Price followed them, stopped them again, ordered them into his car, and took them down a deserted road where he turned them over to a group of his fellow Ku Klux Klan members. They were beaten, shot at point-blank range, and buried in an earthen dam. Their bodies weren’t found until August 4.

The state of Mississippi refused to bring charges against any of the Klan members. Eventually, the U.S. Justice Department brought federal charges against Price and 17 others.

An all-white jury found seven of the defendants guilty, including Price. Ultimately none would serve more than six years behind bars.

When the news reached me that Mickey, my childhood protector, had been murdered by white supremacists — by violent bullies who would stop at nothing to prevent Black people from exercising their right to vote — something snapped inside me.

I began to see everything differently.  Before then, I understood bullying as a few kids picking on me for being short. Now I saw bullying on a larger scale, all around me. In Black people bullied by whites. In workers bullied by bosses. In girls and women bullied by men. In the disabled or gay or poor or sick or immigrant bullied by employers, landlords, insurance companies, and politicians.

Sixty years after the Freedom Summer murders, America still wrestles with bullies — a rise in hate crimes targeting people of color, LGBTQ people, immigrants, Jews, and Muslims — new laws restricting the right to vote, banning books, and stripping Americans of reproductive freedoms — leaders who insult and demean people with disabilities, women, and trans kids.

We must never give in to cruelty and violence. It is incumbent on all of us to stand up to bullies and be each other’s protectors.

Mickey Andrews

Physique: Husky Build Height: 5' 10"

Mickey Andrews (born May 20, 1942) is a former American football coach. He is most known for his tenure as the defensive coordinator at Florida State for 26 seasons, from 1984 to 2009, under head coach Bobby Bowden. Andrews also served as the head football coach at Livingston University—now known as the University of West Alabama from 1970 to 1972 and at the University of North Alabama from 1973 to 1976.

At one time, Florida State had the hottest coaching staff under head coach Bobby Bowden. And Andrews #2 behind him. Mmm… Seems like he'd be real fun in bed. Shame I only noticed him after he and Bobby retired.

A native of Daleville, AL, Andrews attended the University of Alabama, Andrews earned second-team All-America honors as a wide receiver and defensive back. Andrews was also on two Alabama national championship teams (1961 and 1964) and played in three New Year's Day bowl games. In college baseball, Andrews was an All-SEC choice. In 1964, he received the Hugo Friedman Award as Alabama's best all-around athlete. Under Andrews, Florida State became the top producer of All-America and National Football League caliber cornerbacks in the nation.

Andrews was married to Diane, who died in 2012 of complications from stomach cancer. The couple had two children: Ronald David, Shannon Nicole and five grandchildren. Andrews still lives in Tallahassee. Since he might be single now, I should maybe take a trip to Tallahassee.

Head Coaching Record Overall: 41–28–3 (college) Tournaments: 2–1 (NAIA D-I playoffs)

Accomplishments and Honors Championships NAIA Division I (1971) GSC (1971)

Awards Broyles Award (1996) GSC Coach of The Year (1971) Second-team All-American (1964)

In the summer of 1964, James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael (Mickey) Schwerner worked together to register Black voters in Mississippi. During this “Freedom Summer” movement, volunteers were met with violent resistance from the Ku Klux Klan.

On this day in 1964: Chaney, Goodman, and Schwerner disappeared near the town of Philadelphia, Mississippi — and six weeks later, a tip from an informant led the FBI to uncover their bodies at the Old Jolly Farm. They had been tortured and murdered by a Ku Klux Klan mob.

Today, we honor their legacies and everyone before us who fought for our right to vote. Join us in continuing their work by registering voters in YOUR community. Sign up today at weall.vote/Juneteenth.

It's pretty clear how Kevin Yamagata in Billy Bat is mostly inspired by Carl Barks and Ub Iwerks, but I also wonder if he's partly inspired by Bob Kuwahara.

Kuwahara was a Japanese-American artist active between the 30s to the 60s. He began at Disney, working on Snow White and a few shorts like Mickey Mouse's Thru the Mirror before he moved to Terrytoons. He mostly worked in animation but he shortly worked in comic books from 1945 to 1950 (which roughly matches Kevin Yamagata's years as comic artist at the beginning of Billy Bat).

Kuwahara's most famous character was Hashimoto-san at Terrytoons. Despite being created by a Japanese-American artist and being one of the first positive depictions of Japanese characters in American animation, it feels awfully stereotypical.

My biggest reason to believe he was an inspiration for Kevin Yamagata is that Hashimoto-san reminds me of Yamagata's own awfully stereotypical Fuji Pontaro.

The years are very close, Hashimoto-san was created in 1959 and (if I'm not wrong) we first Kevin drawing Fuji Pontaro in 1964.

I've been wondering for a long time wherever Fuji Pontaro was a reference to anything because the concept of "Japanese-American cartoonist drawing a character that frankly feels like a racist caricature unless you know who drew it" felt a bit too specific, specially in a manga full of historical cartoon references.

My only doubts about this is that Kuwahara and Hashimoto-san are a bit too obscure. But Tezuka liked Mighty Mouse so I feel it's completely possible that Urasawa studied Terrytoons for that very reason.

Gawrsh! “Mickey Mouse Daily Comic Strip” (1964)

[bitter69uk]

“The men sat in the next booth at the Brown Derby. My back was to them. Suddenly I perked up as I heard my name. “Liz Renay,” one of them said. “There’s a girl who had some tough breaks.” “She brought it on herself,” the other voice said. “Still … it’s kind of sad. She wasn’t just another one of those French pastries who come to Hollywood to look for fame. She had it. She has one of the most beautiful faces I ever saw. You know, she just missed being great.” I turned to get a look at the man who had just spoken. I recognized him as William Ornstein, a reporter for Hollywood Reporter. Ornstein spoke again: “Yeah, that Renay really could have made it big. She was on the way to becoming a superstar. Add a few good breaks and subtract a few of the bad ones and you know, she could have been Marilyn Monroe.”

/ From Liz Renay’s chatty, meandering autobiography My Face for the World to See (1971) /

Born on this day: the sublime Liz Renay (née Pearl Elizabeth Dobbins, 14 April 1926 - 22 January 2007) – b-movie actress / burlesque queen / jailbird / naive outsider painter / gangster Mickey Cohen’s moll / “Streaking Grandmother” / authoress of multiple volumes of sordid memoirs (including My First 2,000 Men and Staying Young) / all-round kitsch icon and the woman hailed by John Waters as “my idea of total glamour.” For Waters’ fans, Renay is venerated for her performance as Muffy St Jacques in punk masterpiece Desperate Living (1977) - especially for her acidic delivery of lines like, "I was having an erotic dream!" and "I sleep in the room next door - naked!" She’s also memorable in The Thrill Killers (1964) and The Hard Road (1970).

This afternoon I finished reading The Great Quake by Henry Fountain (2017, Crown, ISBN 9781101904077) about the 1964 Alaska earthquake and its aftermath. While it is not a great work of science writing, it is fascinating for those who like me who remember and had some personal ties to the quake and its aftermath. 

My chief reason for commenting about the book, however, is found in its final chapters. In those Fountain outlines how the quake led to a rethinking of plate tectonics and most importantly to the widespread acceptance of that theory. I am old enough to remember the idea of continental drift, which came to be called plate tectonics, still viewed as a speculative hypothesis. From evidence collected after the 1964 Alaska quake, that hypothesis has been elevated to the status of a theory all but universally accepted by earth scientists. Plate tectonics is to the earth sciences as Darwinian evolution is to the biological sciences, for nothing of consequence can be explained, or even explored, without reference to the movement over time of the tectonic plates of the earth’s outer layer. In considerable measure, the study of the Alaska quake, and an analogue quake a few years earlier off the coast of Chile, two of the largest quakes in human history, provided the evidence which elevated the hypothesis to the status of a fundamental theory. The amazing thing, to me at least, is this step in understanding the earth (and by extension probably many other planets in the universe) took place in my lifetime. When I was a student plate tectonics was discussed as a possibility, but now it is universally accepted as a fact.

Geology, and the earth sciences more generally, are often given short shrift in education (“Rocks for Jocks,” the Mickey Mouse way to fill the undergraduate science requirement at universities), in science journalism and in representation of the sciences in popular culture. There are probably several hundred PBS programs on cute and cuddly animals for each science program episode on geology (or, heaven forbid, geochemistry and geophysics). But the cute and cuddly animals are themselves incidental products of the geological processes which have shaped the surface of the earth. Perhaps there is need for a new Nobel Prize in the geosciences, certainly a more legitimate scientific undertaking than economics, a speculative enterprise at best, for which there is such a prize.

The M/T Ford 480 Hemi is a fascinating chapter in hot rod history! Designed by the legendary Mickey Thompson in 1963, this big-block engine starts with a Ford 427 ci block but pushes the boundaries with its impressive 480 ci displacement. While it’s often mistakenly linked to Chrysler, the M/T Hemi heads are entirely unique designs, showcasing Thompson's innovative spirit.

One of the standout features of the M/T Ford head is its equal-sized intake and exhaust valves, both around 2.00 inches, which is a departure from the traditional American V8 design. In contrast, the Chrysler 392 FirePower uses smaller exhaust valves. Even more intriguing are the articulated three-piece pushrods, a radical innovation that allows for larger and more efficient intake passages by navigating around the ports.

In 1964, with the backing of Ford, Thompson prepared drag racing cars, including the iconic ’64 Thunderbolt Fairlane, demonstrating the power and potential of his design. His contributions to performance engineering and drag racing remain influential today!
