“Cara Mia”:Guavaween 07
No All Hallows Evening would be complete without the steamy, Castilian passion of a ghoulish Gomez for his maudlin Mortica…
Ah, the Addams: no two were more the dashing couple, mingling about the festivities of historic Ybor City’s infamous Guavaween. As spirits intertwined, they dined at the Columbia, danced at the Cuban Club, and sauntered the [...]
Sweet Home Ala-banana
August plays host to two major southern phenomenons: record southland heat index and Elvis Presley week. It was a scorcher the day I sat, heat-dazed behind the wheel, listening to Elvis croon ‘Sweet Home Alabama’. It occurred to me as I stood on the brake petal at a quick amber light, have I ever heard [...]

Have you all done any label reading lately? Seems there’s been lots of chatter about “Probiotic” or ‘healthy bugs’, which are now finding their way into our more popular food items. Remember opening that container of probiotic enriched yogurt for the first time?… I’ll be honest… I checked for eyeballs staring [...]

Nightmare on Broadway and 42nd
I’m banking on that old wife’s tale that if you share a nightmare, it won’t come back. Remember a few weeks ago, the Sunday night of the Tony Awards? My itchy finger made quick work on the remote, flipping from live musical numbers like Disneys’ “Mary Poppins”, to Mel Brooks’ classic “Young Frankenstein”, to Dreamworks’ [...]
We Have An Accord:Captain Jack Caption
Thankee to all who blogged and, to those who used appreciated discretion, emailed captions for consideration. After great debate and painstaking processes of elimination (one potato, two potato), a victor has emerged. Well, the winning caption has emerged: Should I sip it, or Skin it???. The author seems reluctant with his identity. Either that, or [...]

The design muscle of my brain has been flexing overtime on projects these past few weeks. To increase maximum performance, I’ve been feeding it a steady diet of remixed retro classics: Shirley Bassey, Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday, Lena Horne, and Eartha Kitt. The cartoonist cortex managed [...]

Late night research can tickle me with awful fits of the sophomoric giggles. A google image search pulled cappuccinos, capuchin monkeys and capuchin friars simultaneously, which was the catalyst for the [...]

Sabo : click on image to enlargeOf the handful of skilled actors that have portrayed history’s infamous monarchs, Peter O’toole has given cinema two stunning performances of King Henry the II. Above is the warpings of Beckett and Lion in Winter from the mind of a simple and ever appreciative cartoonist.
VINTAGE 1900s
©1993 Ann E. Sabo : click on image to enlarge
In the back half of the last century, I dabbled in illustration work. Rummaging through some dusty spaces that needed clearing this century (last tuesday to be precise), I found this oldie, carbon dating back to 1993. Now, not that it’s been that long since I [...]
Unbridled
©2007 Commentary Ann E. Sabo
The story never meant to focus directly on a horse, or on a dedicated jockey, or on loyal owners, or on the support from the public at large… the story’s focus was on how all involved defined spirit. How the same spirit that drives toward high profile successes also gives [...]
