In the ’90s, John Keel reprinted some of his articles as booklets, under the rubric of the New York Fortean Society. This one was taken from a piece he wrote for the Journal of Popular Culture; I provided the cover illustration. John was particularly insistent that there be someone in a straitjacket.

Admiring the local flora, between gigs in Puerto Rico.

This card was one of a set of “Crackpots and Visionaries,” published in 1994 by radio station WFMU as a fundraising premium.

The movie based on John A. Keel’s book The Mothman Prophecies was released in 2002; the Fortean Times marked the occasion with a special issue. I contributed a biography and bibliography of Keel, and an interview conducted with the assistance of George Kuchar and Dr. Mamie Caton.

Red Telephone pops up again, in this strip from Another Room #9, 1980. He doesn’t seem happy.

“The Puppet Show,” a large exhibit of artworks relating to puppetry, curated by Ingrid Schaffner and Carin Kuoni, appeared at the Institute of Contemporary Art, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, January 18 – March 30, 2008. It then toured other museums.

Michael Smith and I were represented by some videos of our performances, and a display of some of our puppet props. As you can see from this photo in the catalog, it was very artistic.

It doesn’t seem right for there to be a Gideon Bible in every hotel room; so I often substitute a nice secular book: one by Thomas Love Peacock, for example, or the Baroness Orczy. I had these cards printed for those occasions.

When I visited my family in Beggs, Oklahoma, I became interested in a local curiosity, The Giants’ Highway, or Checkerboard Crossing. The unusually flat limestone bed, crossed with regular cracks, is the subject of much local folklore; and has been marketed at times as a tourist attraction. It had generally escaped the notice of simulacra and rock buffs, so I wrote it up for the October 2005 issue of Fate. This being the 666th issue, they put Crowley on the cover, thereby enraging many pious readers.

Killing time in Besançon, back in 1984, I drew a picture of the building next door.
