Double Dog Darren

His real name was Jim, but they called him that because he was always throwing down the gauntlet.

The old Howard Johnson's Pieman was usually seen in silhouette, but I found this shot of his mug straight on.

Wee Willie Winkie

Wee W. Winkie, age 6 and a half, was arrested last night for indecent exposure and peeping tomfoolery. In his defense, Winkie claimed he was only enforcing the mayor's curfew of 10 PM for all wee-uns. When it was put to Winkie by this reporter that he himself was a wee-un and why wasn't he home in bed, Winkie claimed an exemption inherent in the law for sleepwalkers.

In other news, cats sang grey thrums and dogs spelder'd on the floor. Details at ten.

Modigliani lady

There came a point in his life when he felt called upon to rid himself of nearly all the art he had created up until then. Having destroyed his art, he set about to destroy himself. But something went wrong. For all the narcotics and the absinthe and the hashish, his vision only became clearer. A flare of art haloed his way out.

Of course, he died penniless. Tubercular meningitis. He was 35.
