Nice quote

This is from an interview with Jerry Lewis.
I wish I had known this bit, when years ago a producer sayd to me in a job-interview : "They say, you're difficult."...

New Alfred-Site

This is like from some kind of time bubble or something ...

How I wish they would come up with something new and funny for a change. Maybe a movie in the true sense of the word would be nice instead of a moving comicstrip. Just for once, something with a plot, characters and camerawork instead of illustrated oneliners, please .....

And in case you didn't notice : "Ficken und Pimmel "sagen isn't funny anymore and won't make a 12 year old blush, since people like Stefan Raab and other "kleine Arschlöcher" conquered the Feuilleton with their own primetime TV-shows years ago.

Poolside Reading III

Lovely , very funny book. My favorite quote though is from Keith Richards about creativity: >>I can't claim writing any of the Rolling Stones songs, all I can take claim for is being awake when they came in<<.

Springtime for Hitler

I found this videoclip quite funny and catchy, skillfully done and technically impeccable. Although it has been done before. I was a bit disappointed though with the comicbook and it's story, the churchill-phonepranks and rubbermask-jokes wore off rather quickly.



I'm glad to see, that Hitler is becoming a popculture character in Germany now as well, and somehow it seems like we now also are allowed to make jokes about our past.Or to quote Moers himself : " Is it possible to joke about Hitler? No, its necessary." I personally feel that one should be allowed to joke about each and everything, provided you're funny. Like these guys :

Freud

I was doing these drawings for a psychotherapy-based ad a couple of weeks back.
First thing to go of course was the un-pc cigar, before the whole thing was cancelled. Since the illustration was finished I thought I might just as well have some fun with it.

Financial Times Germany about the decreasing success of CG movies.
I told you I would do a lot of reading by the pool.
