2020 Calendars - Week 12

I don't know how things are where you're at, but outside the hermit cave we got a few inches of snow dumped on us for the weekend. That prompted me to open with this piece from Knute Munson for our Classic Pin-ups Calendar -



For our Covers Calendar, we're going to triple up on a single artist again. This time Peter Driben returns with a trio of covers from the late '40s -


That cover is a bit beat up, but we've got the pre-cover art in much better shape -


One more to complete our trio...

...and the uncluttered art for it, as well...


Y'know - I'm still feeling the chill from that fresh snow. So let's let Earl MacPherson give us a bit of warmth for this week's Blue Calendar -
Since this image contains nudity, you'll have to step into our adult content back room if you'd like to warm up. Here's a direct link to the uncut version of this post.

Oh, yeah. That's better.

As always, the calendars are sized to print 8"x10" at 150dpi, with 1" square spaces for notations.

2020 Calendars - Week 10

10 weeks without missing post time. (Okay - by only 2 minutes once, but still) Definitely doing better than last year.

We've got a trio of returning artists for this week's selections, starting with another piece from Mike Ludlow on our Classic Pin-Ups Calendar -



Enoch Bolles returns (yet) again for our Covers Calendar with Redhead Mistress painted for the March 1924 issue of Snappy Stories -



For a bonus this week, we've got an unused, more risque variant painting for the cover -


 After our two non-nude nudes, we go to arguably the greatest pin-up calendar artist, Gil Elvgren, for a bit of actual nude with our Blue Monday Calendar -

Of course, since it does feature nudity, you'll have to visit our adult content back room to see if you think that was worth waiting for. Here's a direct link to the uncut version of this post.

2020 Calendars - Week 09

You might think that after posting Saturday Morning Toons yesterday that i'd realize today was Sunday. Well, i realize it now - with about 11 minutes left, and less than 15 before this post is supposed to go live.

Fortunately, i've got a few prepped and ready, just need the proper dates. But that means we just get the minimum this week - one of each of our 3 ongoing calendars.

For the Pin-Up Calendar, another classic composition from Rolf Armstrong -



I believe this is the first in this year's calendars for "Jack" Greiner with the April 1933 Gayety cover our Covers Calendar -



And for our Blue Calendar this week, Zoë Mozert returns with a stark portrait in blue, available in our adult content area.

2020 Calendars - Week 08

Wording still laborious, so tripling up on the imagery instead. Each of our three calendar types gets three calendar pages this week, all three from a single artist.

For our Pin-ups Calendar, a new addition to our roster, Ernest Chiriaka -




Hugh Joseph Ward returns with a trio of Spicy pulps for this week's Covers Calendar -


For our Blue Monday Calendar this week, we have a trio of classic blonde bombshells from the brush of Earl Moran. As usual, the Blue material is in our adult content 'back room' just past the age check.
Here's a direct link to the uncut version of this post.

2020 Calendars - Week 07

For this week's calendars, let's double up. I don't know - in honor of February and Two-Face or whatever silly excuse we need.

For our Pin-up Calendars, Mike Ludlow returns with a bit of cold weather beauty -



For our second classic Pin-Up Calendar, please welcome Joe De Mers to this year's gathering of artists -



For our Covers Calendars this week, we've got a Spicy pair from Hugh Joseph Ward



If the name H.J. Ward sounds familiar, perhaps it's from the 'original' Batman cover from the February 1936 issue of Spicy Mystery Stories



Finally, for our Blue Monday calendars, a pair of returning artists. Archie Dickens provides our only Valantine's Day calendar and Zoë Mozert returns for a portrait of pure lovliness. 

Since our Blue calendars feature nudity, you'll have to step on through to our adult content 'back room' for the uncut version of this post to see them.

2020 Calendars - Week 06

By popular request (Gordie's a popular kind of guy) we lead off this week with another from Edward Runci, the image that served for the template when putting together this year's calendars...


For this week's Cover Calendar, we've got another Enoch Bolles cover from the Film Fun -



It seems like we're leaning heavy on Enoch so far this year. I'll  try to remember to go a different way next week. But, as long as we're here, we've got the original painting for this cover, too -



This week's Blue Monday Calendar brings us a lovely winter image from Ren Wicks -

Of course, you'll have to step on through to our back room for the full version of this post with the adult content to see it. Here is a direct link to the un-cut post.

2020 Calendars - Week 05

This week we've got a few names that'll be very familiar to some and rather obscure to others.

To start off, Edward Runci supplies the artwork for our Pin-Up Calendar -


  
And we've got Earle Bergey for our Covers Calendar -


For a nice bonus, here's the uncluttered original art for that cover -


For this week's Blue Monday Calendar, we've got plural. Al Buell leads off with a classic beauty, and i just couldn't let the first month pass without at least one from our favorite calendar artist, Gil Elvgren. (Don't fret - i made sure it wasn't a repeat from our 2018 calendar) 

Head on to our 'back room' for the adult content calendars.

2020 Calendars - Week 04

In our fine modern entertainment tradition, we're going back to Week 01 of this year's calendars to reboot/recycle/rerun our artists for Week 04. Not the artwork, of course, just the artists.

First up, Henry Clive returns with a bit more classically themed piece in this week's Pin-up Calendar - 


And for our Covers Calendar, Enoch Bolles returns, this time with the January 1942 cover of Film Fun -


And Archie Dickens gives us another winter themed pin-up for out Blue Monday Calendar, available in our adult content 'back room.'
Here's a direct link to the full version of this post.

We're keeping it very simple this week - just the three basic calendars. Now i'm off to figure out where i parked my brain.

2020 Calendars - Week 03

This week we lead off with Mike Ludlow and a comic-appropriate painting for our Pin-up Calendar page -



Enoch Bolles returns for our Classic Covers Calendar with a Paris Nights cover from January 1937 -



For our Blue Calendar entry, we've got the first appearance of she who is arguably our oddest artist appearing on this year's calendars, Zoë Mozert . To view her artwork, step on back to our Adult Content room in The Other Voice Of ODD!

Meanwhile, here's a photo of Zoë in later years, standing in front of one of her most famous works, the Red Dog Rosie mural -



Yes, you can see the mural in the back room, too.

2020 Calendar - Week 02

We'll keep it simple this week - only one of each calendar style - just so we don't start patterns of overkill.

For our Pin-Up Calendar, we've got an Al Moore girl staying warm in winter wear, sort of...



...and our Old Magazine Covers calendar features Rolf Armstrong from January 1919...



Let me pause to remark on how much i enjoy the ... quality of light on the faces of Rolf's portraits. That's the best way i can think to phrase it, so let's take a quick look at a few to see what i mean -





It's not surprising his work was so popular and featured on many magazine covers.

We'll be seeing a fair bit of both Moore & Armstrong on this year's calendars. And we've got Earl Moran for this week's Blue Calendar, and a bit more, in our Adult Content 'back room' - The Other Voice Of ODD! Step on back past the security guard checking ages to see the uncut version of this post.

2020 Calendars - Week 01

It's a new year with new calendars!

As mentioned a few times over the past couple weeks, we'll be running weekly calendars here, with three to choose from. We'll have two calendars featuring pin-up artwork and another featuring old magazine covers. One of the two pin-up calendars will feature nude artwork and appear in our 'back room' blog, The Other Voice Of ODD! And sometimes, like today, we'll have extra 'bonus' calendars. After all - we won't be needing New Year's Covers next week, will we?






There is one more calendar page offered this week. It contains nudity, so it's tucked into the alternate version of this post in our 'Back Room'. Click here to jump to the unbowdlerized post.

Note that calendars are sized to print 8"x10" at 150dpi, with 1" square spaces for notations.

June Calendars Is Here

This year's calendar selections for June, for your convenience.
Of course, the Playboy calendar option is available in the mirror of this post in our adult content back room, The Other Voice Of ODD!






Here i was all proud of myself for actually noticing when the 1st of the month rolled around with the way things have been lately. Then, as i was posting to the publication queue, i realized that Friday was upon us.
Well...  we may or may not wind up with a late edition of Friday Fun & Games this evening.
But, what we will have is a 3-part matinee series this weekend, starting this afternoon, featuring Vic Torry And His Flying Saucer!


See you then, eh?

01 May 2018

May Calendars

As you may have noticed, a bit of a rough start this week. Things all keyed up around here, but we're slowly getting functional.

New month, new calendars -
