It’s been a busy-ass week gearing up for the relaunching of the new “Scotch and DUI” show in it’s afternoon timeslot on the all-new ROCK 102! That’s right…SAD Afternoon Radio; original, eh? It’s hard to believe that a whole three years have passed since my accomplice and I foisted our incompetence upon the Fargo-Moorhead airwaves on a daily basis. For some, I’m sure that our hiatus has not been nearly long enough! Now we’re tanned, rested, and fully-prepared to validate our stupidity once again. I’m also pretty jacked that our voice-guy for all of our in-show segments is none other than Dave Justus, formerly of “Baxter and Justus” and “Justus and Friends” fame! Now to the non-radio-geek-insider this probably isn’t that big of a deal, but “Justus and Friends” was the salad days of radio as far as I’m concerned so just BACK OFF and let me enjoy this six-degrees-of-Kevin-Bacon-association, capiche!? So if you were a Scotch and DUI fan before, this is a reminder to you to tune in to ROCK 102 from 3-6 pm, weekdays starting Monday, Feb. 26th! However, if you found our spirited-hijinx unlistenable in the past, then you’ve just been given fair warning and know to listen elsewhere during the designated time period. Above is a couple of panels from the ill-fated ‘Scotch and DUI comic book’ which never saw the light of day, sadly. That is all…you’re now free to move about the cabin at your own discretion!

Something smells funny down the pipeline, and I’m guessing it’s writer/cartoonist, Kit Lively! The always-tasteful Mr. Lively and myself have collaborated on quite a few comics projects over the years (that aesthetically pleasing feminine hygiene ad above is a fine example) and we continue to do so with our “Gross Gags”, which can be seen quarterly in HUSTLER Humor. Currently, he and I are working on a script for a SUPERMAN spoof that we’re pitching to the folks at LFP, along with another superhero-type satire called “E.S.Pee-yew” that Kit came up with. While you wait for those gems to see the light of day, make sure to check out the forthcoming HUSTLER Humor, due out in March, for more gut-wrenchingly hillarious “Gross Gags” from Kit and myself.

There’s probably alot of people who would NOT get off on this sort of thing as much as I do, but having worked at a video store during the late 80’s, the prospect of seeing the “Puppet Master” puppets in person had me pretty psyched. I mean, are you kidding me? The only thing that could possibly have been better would be to have the “Demonic Toys” disembowel Corey Feldman in front of me for my own personal amusement. Although this was way back in October, my mutually disturbed co-hort, Mark Trandem, just sent me the pictures so I thought I’d post them. Charles Band and his Full Moon Horror Road Show hit the Varsity Theater in Minneapolis full-steam, bringing with them Brian Lloyd (Evil Bong, Doll Graveyard, Candy Stripers) and Robin Syndey (Gingerdead Man, Evil Bong).

Brian is actually from Grand Forks, ND and I had the opportunity to interview him on the air several weeks before so it was really alot of fun to finally meet him, not to mention his mom. It was also very encouraging to see so many like-minded geeks gathered in one place to grovel at the altar of homicidal puppets and murderous dolls. Here’s a pic of me with Charles Band and one with Brian and Robin. Thanks again, Mark!
