UGLY AMERICANS

Mad Men Season Spoilers
Betty Draper - Season 18
Beauty fades, but obsession with one’s beauty intensifies. Which means Betty’s fixations are now off the charts. She and Henry Francis maintain a chilly peace based on Waspy non-confrontation, her children — damaged, embittered, constantly dealing with feelings of inadequacy — are grown and gone, and since Polly the pooch died, there’s no one to absorb Betty’s putdowns and petulance. Hmmm, what is Glen Bishop up to these days?

Don Draper - Season 11
Metabolism: It’s a hell of a thing, especially for a guy who now likes his french toast with rum and syrup. Don’s was bound to catch up with him eventually, and now that it has, well, he’s glad those on-trend polyester suits have some stretch. No one else will be glad, but he will. Don already had a “Me decade” during the ’60s, so by the time the rest of America catches up, his once-magic touch with “those who think young” has burned itself out — which is why he still relies on the constant stream of nubile secretaries to keep him up-to-date on the latest fads.

The Far Out World
Last week I was visiting my dad and he’s got this giant drawing I made when I was 17 hanging on the wall by the laundry room. It took me five months to draw it, and it’s amusing to look at now. Like a ‘Where’s Waldo’ of sci-fi weirdness, classic-rock worship, and political and environmental metaphors so blunt they could only come from the mind of suburban teenager. But it’s inspired me to see what I can do with a giant piece of paper again!
PS: The pooch is Kippy.

“Faul” as in “False Paul”
As in, that’s what the other 3 Beatles nicknamed the lookalike who British Military Intelligence forced them to accept as a replacement for the real Paul who died in a car crash in 1966 so as to prevent a nationwide mass suicide of teenage girls.
As in, I really need to cut down on my conspiracy theory documentary intake.
