BARRIER TALKS TO TASHLIN

If I were going to make a very personal list of the pleasures of the World Wide Web, it would include the fact that MichaelBarrier.com brings us Mike Barrier's writing and research so frequently--which is huge improvement over sitting around and wondering when the next FUNNYWORLD might come out, as many of us did back in the 1970s.

Mike has just posted a transcript of his 1971 interview with Frank Tashlin. Among the illustrations are examples of Tashlin's rather obscure, extremely strange newspaper feature VAN BORING; and there's an MP3 clip from the interview. If you've got any common sense at all--and you do--you've already clicked over and are reading the interview right now.
