KYLE’S B&B: Latest News & Random Thoughts

Wow, this is spectacular news! The B-52’s are in the studio, working on a new album. This’ll be their first full studio album since “Good Stuff” in 1992. Word is that it may be released sometime before the end of 2006. This makes me SO happy, they are without question one of my favorite bands. And then there’s the matter of my longtime crush on their guitarist Keith Strickland…

…quite possibly, the most handsome man in the world! Suffice to say he is a gorgeous man who apparently is quite socially conscious and obviously very talented and creative. I hope someday I get to meet him!

Here she is, the little bob-cat princess herself, Ginger! My other cat, Midnight, who appeared in my last post led to some questions about the whereabouts of his sister, Ginger, so, here she is! And yes, they are brother & sister…from the same litter, same parents. If you saw the parents, you’d understand how 2 cats of such different looks, (Ginger: orange & white, semi-long-haired, green eyes….Midnight: black & white, short-haired, aqua-blue eyes), can come from the same parentage. They also have very different personalities, (Midnight is rather mellow; Ginger seems to be part lynx, as she definitely has wildcat tendencies), but they are both very loving cats!

Sorry I haven’t posted here in a while….as usual, been juggling various work projects, (my Figure Drawing website will be up & running VERY soon, I promise!), and trying to get as far ahead on the comic strip deadlines as I can. Summer has gripped us in it’s typical New York, strangling humidity here in Northport, (and once again, as I do each year, I threaten to pack it all up & move to Vermont to escape the heat. Although, with the oncoming Greenhouse Effect, that may not be enough. Haven’t seen the new Al Gore flick yet, but I hope to when I get a chance. Heard it is amazing!). Have been getting a lot of very gripping e-mails about the current Kyle’s B&B storyline; apparently, there are lots of folks who have experienced bizarre situations with gay adoption, as Andrew does in the current episodes. And, of course, many folks happy to see Brad shirtless again! (Hey, why not? It’s certainly hot enough, right?). Finally, here’s a pic of Midnight, doing what he does best to deal with the summer heat in Northport…lying on the windowsill to catch a breeze:
