Then This Happened Comic
Normally I get old toys and think about the era they came from. But I now have a bunch of vintage things that I know the person that had it in their house every day and used them. It's kinda weird now that I think about it.

The Disco Artwork Of The Bonkers 1978 Parker Brothers Board Game.

I tried to find the origin of the artwork on this vintage board game. But came up short. I got this version of the game " Bonkers! " by Parker Brothers from 1978. I remember the game because of the super disco/burst design. Kinda reminds me of that pinball counting cartoon segment on Sesame Street back in the day where they counted to 12. Which if you remember the song, I always love to point out the people that sing it are  The Pointer Sisters . Ok back to the game. Here is some info I learned about it.

Paul Leonard Williams: Writer, Detective Stories and Martial Arts - Tom Ray's Art Podcast

In this episode of the podcast, I talk with writer Paul Leonard Williams . Paul has written a series of detective novels based on his central character Gideon Jones. But as we talk I find out that the idea for these stories started in high school but he was talked out of trying to be a writer by his parents. So for many years he actually went into the field of martial arts before deciding to reconnect with his original passion to be a writer later in life.
