About Me

My photo
Adalbert is a forum for me, to post ephemera, photography, poetry, occasional travel notes, and various spontaneous motions. Cover photo: Parsonage where my great-grandfather spent his early years. Taken near Liegnitz, Silesia, ca. 1870. The "xothique" portion of the web address is a nod to Clark Ashton Smith's fictional continent of Zothique.

Bootleg Mushy Cartoon (after CAD)

 

A cartoon I drew and captioned digitally, using the Paint program. The work refers to a post Joyce Carol Oates made on 16 July, 2026, in response to a comment of mine (her original post on 17 May, 2026 presented some of her insights on works by James Joyce). I had uploaded a few pages from CAD's minicomic Schlumpelhummer -- a Joyce Carol Oates Tribute issue.

17 Years of Adalbert/Xothique

 To celebrate the 17th anniversary of this blog, here's a new cartoon I drew (digitally) recently: An imagined trip, including both Ken Kesey and John Creasey on the bus, Furthur. Their lifespans overlapped in part, although they belonged to different generations. Outside of a slight similarity in their names, and the fact both were writers, they had few similarities in their approaches.

New Cartoon

 


A new cartoon I created (drawn digitally), based on my mother's accounts of a restaurant operated by Greek immigrants, where she was employed as a waitress. The time frame was toward the end of World War Two.
