We hear Henri Dutilleux died this morning. RIP maestro. Happy memories of our 2010 series with @valerygergiev:

The kind folks at Craftsy are giving away not one, but two quilting classes (one each) to two Craft Gossip readers.

Ads by Project Wonderful! Your ad could be here, right now. Gil Thorp, 5/22/13 Guys, remember when Gil Thorp plots used to be bonkers crazy insane? Well, those days seem to be long past, which is why I have been studiously ignoring the spring plotline for months. Here it is, in a nutshell: baseball player Foley Knox is the son of a lawyer and an aspiring lawyer himself, and his lawyer dad is suing the gas station owner father of another player because some guy fell down while pumping gas there, and Foley is being a dick to the other kid about it, the end. The other kid and his dad are Chaldean Christians from Iraq, and it briefly looked like that was going to be a plot point somehow, but it was dropped in favor of a B plot involving Foley’s delusional romantic pursuit of Darby, the softball team’s star pitcher who has a toddler because she was previously teen pregnant, which was briefly controversial last spring. Anyway, today at last these plots collide when Foley decides to win the heart of his fair beloved by defeating her tortfeasor in judicial combat! This will also fail. Wizard of Id, 5/22/13 So Wizard of Id, which is usually not funny on any level, actually made me laugh in two distinct ways today? WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO? I appreciate the fact that the joke hinges on grammatical ambiguity — haha, you think “[a]re protesting” is a verb in the progressive aspect, but in fact “protesting” is a deverbal adjective modifying “drones”! But what really made me laugh was the sign that just says “NOT COOL”. It’s a sign that you can use at any protest and one that lets everyone know that, yeah, you’re politically engaged, but you’re also pretty chill. Mark Trail, 5/22/13 Meanwhile, the AMAZING FOREST BEAR INFERNO is still going on in Mark Trail! I’m a little confused by the positions of everybody/thing in this comic, but, comparing the perspective in the two panels, if Cherry and Shelly are looking at the water and the tree is directly behind them, won’t they have to run sort of towards the bears in order to get to the tree? I mean, I get that they’re right on the shore and their options are limited. This is like the time my wife and I were in Stanley Park in Vancouver, and these raccoons emerged from the trees and wanted to go drink from the pond we were standing at the edge of, and they were heading right for us and didn’t seem scared of us at all, and we were in their way but there was no way for us to go that didn’t involve getting closer to them at least to start. Sure, they were raccoons, not bears, and nothing was on fire, but I don’t believe I ever pretended to be a brave man. Heathcliff, 5/22/13 One of the things I didn’t expect when I recently worked Heathcliff into my comics rotation was the feature’s not infrequent expeditions into the inscrutable. I like this one, even if I don’t really understand it. Ha ha, Heathcliff is voyaging home via hot air balloon! It’s whimsical! Pluggers, 5/22/13 Yes, I’m sure the automated recording that delivered this platitude really feels bad after this sick burn! Basically, pluggers have very little control over their own lives and will sullenly lash out at anybody about it, whether they can hear them lashing out or not. Family Circus, 5/22/13 “Billy and Dolly and Daddy and PJ are in the basement, right, Mommy? With all the sand? And time’s up for them? They won’t bother us ever again? Oh, also, this hourglass ran out, I guess.” Spider-Man, 5/22/13 Spider-Man’s high school science teacher always hoped he’d kill or terribly injure himself in a lab accident. This post originally appeared as "FINE, Gil Thorp, I’ll briefly pay attention to you" on The Comics Curmudgeon, which is the best blog on the Internet.

Nearly 100 years ago (99 to be exact), the man we all knew as Sun Ra was born. And even though he passed away in May 1993, his legacy lives on through the music of some of our favorites. Like Ras G, for example, who is paying homage to the musician he said changed his life. On “Happy Arrival Day Mister Ra”, you hear some Moog work and vocals from Sun Ra while the remaining effects, percussion, and keys are handled by Ras G. It’s an absolute trip and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Doing. The. Most. Kim Kardashian Sends Out Music Box Baby Shower Invitations According to TMZ reports: Just how over the top were Kim Kardashian’s music-box baby shower invitations? Really, really, really over the top — and TMZ has the first photo proof. The invite to Kim K’s June 2nd bash — sent to a guest close to Kanye West — arrived as a fully functional music box, complete with a spinning ballerina … dancing to a lullaby version of Kanye’s “Hey Mama.” Not only is the invite playing the baby daddy’s tune, but the ballerina bears a striking resemblance to Kim herself — just in case anyone forgets who this party is REALLY celebrating. According to the invites, Kris Jenner, Shelli Azoff (wife of uber-manager Irving Azoff), Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian are hosting the party. Recommended attire … garden chic. We think that’s rich people speak for casual. Bet they wrap the baby in a custom Louis Vuitton blanket soon as he/she pops out of the p…SMH You can hear the lullaby version of Kanye’s tune below.

Posted On Today at 08:16:44 am EDT by Reverend Meteor [Reply] [Quote] [New] Quote:He jumped in the way of the glider, it was his choice. He died a hero. If jumping into danger and throwing your life on the line to save your brother does no constitute a hero then I don't know what does. That's just my opinion anyway, but I am curious to see how they explain this one. I won't hold my breath that's for sure, but I am curious. Has anything been revealed about his return, how he survived and where he's been? Are people speculating that he's been with Jenine or has that been revealed? That would be pretty interesting, at least it would fit nicely since the same time Revelations happened, so did that tale with Kaine, Ben, and Jenine (sp?). It would make for a hell of an epilogue to it all, but still, like I said, I won't hold my breath. He did not jump in front of it. He was impaled before he had time to react. Quote:Edit: But the way they wrote Revelations, it seems they didn't want a back door since he turned to dust. I think it was really to prove without a shadow of a doubt that he was the clone all along to put it to rest, but it also made it so they would really need to stretch the imagination to bring him back, or get rid of that hero scene entirely which was one of my all time favorite memories of him and made me enjoy his older stories in a newer light with even more respect for the hero he truly was. He sacrificed his life, to allow a clone of himself to live for his babies sake and his one love at one time. That's too incredibly selfless for words to..just can't do it enough justice trying to explain it. Quote:Given marvels recent history this decade, it's likely they would cheapen that whole scene the way they did ASM 400 to bring Aunt May back by making that ending in revelations just be another clone (at least it wouldn't be a clone actress but still). I'd hope they put more thought into it than something so simple and obvious but..it will be interesting to see who was right. Ben was murdered. Killed from behind like a chump. Ben's last wish was denied. Ben died not even knowing he was a clone. No one except Peter and MJ knew or cared that he died (the only 3 other people who cared about him were Seward, Janine and Betty. Seward was dead, Janine was in jail and may not even know he's dead and I don't think Betty had enough clues to realize Spider-Man made off with Peter's "cousin" Ben's body)
