Artist Harvey Kurtzman's book of photo satire about celebrities from the 1960s.

I love to collect old illustrated books at resale shops and thrift stores. I love to look at them for drawing inspiration. 

I love the artwork of cartoonist Harvey Kurtzman but here is a book I picked up specifically because it actually doesn't feature any drawings, which I found odd. It's from the early 1960s and it's called "Who Said That?"

By the way, I also have to resell them to help support my habit so you can see a bunch of the vintage illustrated books I have in my eBay store!

I love that an artist who's artwork was so popular in comic books and MAD Magazine was asked to do a satire book about celebrities of the time chose just to use photos.

The funny thing is the speech bubbles he used are still pretty stylish.

Then the artwork on the pages goes sideways for some reason?

And even at the end of the book, he had a section of pages that were basically "Hey why don't you write your own jokes for me?" as you can see in the photo above.

Can I Buy And Resell Copies Of My Own Book From Amazon KDP?

There are two questions that I get asked about publishing my webcomic books on Amazon KDP . 1 - Can I Order A Print Copy Of My Own Book From Amazon KDP? When I started printing on Amazon KDP I also had that question. The reason I put the books together is I was just kind of doing it for myself. I could make a paperback version of my webcomic books and then I and my family could get a copy. It didn't even occur to me that I could actually start selling the book in public.  I thought it was just print-on-demand and then maybe I could order one.  But when I print a book on Amazon KDP I can also get up to 999 copies and sell it on my own!  I was able to get my own copies from Amazon KDP sent to me.  As the author, I can get them at printing cost . So they're at a discounted price. The option to order author copies is right in the KDP publishing setup.  The button is next to the book in KDP. 👇 The other question I get about publishing my book on Amazon KDP... 2 - Can I Sell My A

How I use one Gmail address for multiple Soundcloud accounts

Do you know the Gmail "+" trick to use one email for multiple accounts on one service? Here's a little trick I use that works for any service.  I talked about this on the podcast episode I did with artist Mortimur K . In this case, let's say I used up all the uploads I have for my free Soundcloud account . With this trick, I can open a new free account and use the same Gmail address. I don't want to create another Gmail account to sign up again.  Using my one Gmail address for multiple accounts on the same service I don't remember when I learned this but you can alter the name on a Gmail address. Like, let's say mine is "tom@gmail.com". To be clear that is not my email. I wish it was, but this is just a short example. Start with the original Gmail address Add a "+" after the email name Where it says "tom" on the address I can put a "+" after that. Add a "+" after the email name After that "+" I ca
