A very Happy Birthday to Mr Dizzy Gillespie! Let’s celebrate by enjoying Oro, Incienso y Mirra from his 1975 Afro-Cuban Jazz Moods album.

Sorry this one was kind of late due to my first day of house sitting in Capitol Hill which included walking and cleaning up after a geriatric and incontinent Dalmatian and then taking a car to a garage for service and then commuting from there to my apartment/office to work… You get the idea…
Anyway today the magic hat told me to draw a Mad Scientist. To keep things interesting I went with a kind of hip modern day version of Herbert West.

Minotaurs are yet another one on the list I wasn’t looking forward to and I have a sneaking feeling I might be subconsciously cribbing a New Yorker cartoon but despite being another rush job I’m rather happy how this one turned out.

Today’s Halloween song I first heard in the Henry Selick movie, Monkeybone; “Hell” by the Squirrel Nut Zippers (which I always thought was called “In the Afterlife” until I was looking for it just now.)
I’ve been a fan of the Squirrel Nut Zippers for years and this is a great song to introduce them with.
