I had to add another Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal strip, as this has got to be one of the best gags ever.

A couple months ago, I posted about a book cover by David Drummond. I promise not to continually link to his blog, but he just recently posted another that is emotionally powerful and remarkably simple.

The niche areas afforded by the internet are of limitless supply. Take, for example, Volition, a sincere story crafted by Matt Web (of Schulze and Web). Part physics lesson and part morose romance.
The way you show the existence of just one of these ghosts is you stop dancing and you barrel across the dance floor as hard as you can, shouting and roaring, barging ghosts and dancers alike hither and thither, scattering them and knocking them flying. If you get it just right, you splash a clearing in the ghosts, and if you’re luckier still there’s a moment before they get to their feet where you can grab one, sit on his chest and hold him down by his neck and grab his chin so you can wrench his dirty face round to look straight at yours and lean in real, real close and, panting, whisper straight at him through your gritted teeth: you little fucker: gotcha.
Dueling Analogs linked out to a comic that I had never read before: Cyanide and Happiness. It’s fantastic. And best of all is that there’s no continuing storyline or set of regular characters. This is good news because now I don’t feel compelled to spend the next few hours reading through the entire archive to make sure I’m all caught-up.
The humor is mostly adult. Basically you gotta like dirty jokes. Also notice that there’s a Random button available, which is what I’ve been hitting the past few minutes. I’ll display a few of my favorites (so far) on the underside.

I don’t know how long it will be there, but there’s a new Project Wonderful delivered ad on the right. If it’s not there while you’re reading this, here’s a link: Memories Remain Photography.
It’s actually got some eerily surreal and very impressive looking photographs, all of which were taken by Richard Kuperberg Sr. Unfortunately,they’re well-stuffed behind an entirely flash based image gallery (otherwise I might link directly to one or two). If you dig that type of thing, I recommend browsing around.
David Drummond designs book covers and, oh yeah, he has a blog. He’ll usually add some comments about the design and maybe even one or two alternatives that didn’t make the cut. In my mind, this is almost like a type of goal oriented art. Which is what I suppose alot of advertising and illustration is as well.
Well, anyway, I was looking through a couple recent entries using his site’s feed, and one of them I thought was just plain cool in that he created it on the cheap using different images from Shutterstock. I quickly hopped over here to link to it when I noticed that the link doesn’t actually work. I’m looking at his post in Google Reader, but when I follow the link to his blogspot account, that page is gone. I’m not sure what that means exactly. Maybe there was some mixup or he decided to delete it. Thankfully it was already pulled down via the various feed readers out there, so I’ve uploaded them here. Check out the brilliant work of David Drummond below.

Mature content comes in many forms. We all have our preferred delivery. I tend to enjoy subtle items, where the innuendo seems to just, gently….scoot at you. For example, this piece by Nick Pierski, truly floats my boat. And don’t worry, it’s SFW.
Smashing Magazine has a list of 35 Beautiful Music Album Covers, which is pretty fun to scroll through. I recognize the majority of them and would definitely agree that they’ve picked some striking covers. But one I had never seen and which, for whatever reason, blew me away was Absolution by Muse.
