I love Andy Richter. For my money he’s one of the funniest comic actors out there.
There’s a nice interview with him on NPR today, and this quote especially jumped out at me:
“If you start to just aim for what the audience wants to hear, you’re already hamstrung.”
“So the only thing you can do is do something that you think is funny. And I don’t mean, become a big artist, but do try to tickle your own funny bone as much as you can, and hope that you have a sense of humor people can relate to.”
So true.

I never knew there was a FF radio show, but this guy took the audio and added the comic visuals to it. Cool enough, right?
Yeah, not even close. Bill Murray voices the Human Torch:

Heard this yesterday on NPR:
Scott: So as things get bad in the real world, things get worse for Dilbert so they're going to get real bad in a few weeks here for Dilbert.
John: How bad are they going to get?

Heard a really interesting story on Weekend America this past weekend. Two-time US Poet Laureate, Billy Collins, talks about Looney Tunes’ influence on him, and shares some poetry to that effect.
A sample:
Porky
Happy only
when he is gardening alone
far from conversation
and the terrible stammering
far from Petunia, nag and tease
just resting on a hoe
unembarrassed
as he contemplates
the blue background of his flat world –
a Zen pig.
