Firesign Theatre News (and a not quite missing link)

Yep. It’s true. The comedy troupe that was recently designated a national treasure by the Library of Congress will be making a rare appearance at the Barnsdall Gallery Theater (at the end of Hollywood Blvd.) next month. I’ll be driving down to cover the event for A News Cafe and It’s Just This Little Chromium Switch Here websites. Look for more info right here a little bit later, in the meantime, check out THIS LINK!

Phil Fountain

Phil Fountain is a pseudonym for ANC’s prodigal cartoonist, Philbert Phountain, who has recently returned from a working hiatus where he served as the lead fact-checker for George Santos. He lives in Shasta County with his long-suffering wife, Christine, as well as a variety of layabouts and urchins who claim to be his progeny … including three grandchildren. He busies himself with his crayons and obsessing over the fate of his favorite baseball team while a small dog sleeps under his desk. He’s actually not such a bad guy as evidenced by the fact the dog rarely bites him anymore. Look for his crudely rendered drawings in future posts on A News Café.
