Hopper Rolls On:
More "Nighthawks' Parodies

I've got another couple of "Nighthawks" parodies for all you Edward Hopper fans, just discovered.

The first is the work of Josh Ellingson, who seems to be a pretty fine illustrator:




Here's one from a Flickr user named bredlo, which may appeal to fans of the classic Airstream camper:




If you know why a pink polar bear attacking the diner is funny (from this guy), please let me know:




Rick Veitch has a great reworking of the diner as it might look in Iraq (click it to see it bigger):




There's a Sesame Street version (among other great Sesame Street versions of classic art):





If you want to see the rest of the parodies, click below.

A Séance is so Old School

The chief problem about death, incidentally, is the fear that there may be no afterlife—a depressing thought, particularly for those who have bothered to shave. Also, there is the fear that there is an afterlife but no one will know where it’s being held.
Woody Allen, filmmaker

If you are determined to bug those who are gone and you refuse to let those in the afterlife relax or rest in peace, well now you can go to the cemetery and use your wi-fi.

According to a report from WPSD-TV, a cemetery in Paducah, Kentucky has made the graveyard a hotspot of sorts. Apparently it’s to help with genealogy research.

It seems to me that the living are now haunting the dead.
