Here’s a pretty clever Brazilian commercial for Twix with the slogan Invent a pause. Open a Twix. Guy sure picked a good time to invent a pause…

I was just announced that Calvin and Hobbes will receive their own US Postal Stamp, which is great news really. Seeing as I consider Calvin and Hobbes one of the best cartoons of all time (second maybe only to Gary Larson’s Far Side), I’m loving this. In their honor, and perhaps for a little jaunt […]

This is a great story. On June 12, 1970, Dock Ellis of the Pittsburgh Pirates threw a no-hitter against the San Diego Padres. And while that’s already newsworthy (only 263 no-hitters have ever been thrown in the history of Major League Baseball), what is really extraordinary is that Mr. Ellis apparently threw the game whilst […]

One of the junior executives, in a moment of refreshing naïveté, pondered: “If we could just bottle this vagina business, we’d be sure to make a mint.” Little did that credulous […]

I’m not a designer, but I do feel their pain when it comes to dealing with feeble-minded folks. It was pretty hysterical at my last job. I sat a few feet away from the creative director at the magazine I edited and always cracked up (on the inside anyway) when someone with zero creative skills […]
