Drew Friedman’s new book: Too Soon?

Drew Friedman’s new book: Too Soon?: “ Images Drewfriedman Images 4238664230

The inimitable Drew Friedman has a new hardcover book out of his incredible celebrity portraits and caricatures drawn over the last 15 years for The New Yorker, Entertainment Weekly, Business Week, Mojo, and a variety of other mags, books, and CD covers. Our pals at Fantagraphics published the handsome hardcover, titled Too Soon?: Famous/Infamous Faces 1995-2010. Jimmy Kimmel wrote the foreword and Rush Limbaugh endorsed it with this glowing review: ‘Of low artistic quality.’ See sample pages over at Drawger or pick up a copy for $20 at Amazon. Congratulations, Drew!

12 fun facts about Lost in Space

  Posted by Kate Rinsema

Irwin Allen, creator of Lost in Space, probably wasn’t expecting the series that only aired from 1965 to 1968 to make television history, yet it remains one never-ending cheese plate of space adventure to this day.

If you guessed the series was based on Disney’s Swiss Family Robinson, you would be correct, but did you know there was also a comic book inspiration (Space Family Robinson) that took off once the series aired and survived to the ‘80‘s? There is little doubt that the execs at CBS were kicking themselves a few years after passing on the original Star Trek in favor of Lost in Space. That dynamic duo of Batman and Robin also influenced the direction of the series once Allen realized their unique brand of humor seemed to appeal to audiences.
