We're taking a short break. The occasion is a trip the U.S.A., where we’ll be visiting friends and family after a nearly four-year absence. Besides getting into as much trouble as possible, we’ll try to dig up some pulp artifacts. Though the trip is three weeks, we’ll only be absent from the website for a few days, because that’s how obsessed we are. Look for new posts on March 1, and in the meantime, visit some of the nearly two thousand entries we’ve made in the last three years. Try the links embedded around the site. The nuclear fallout sign takes you to all our nuke posts. The lady in brown at the top takes you to all the femmes fatales. The naked lady sitting atop the category list takes you to all—well, most of—the naked posts. The lady in the kimono at lower right takes you to all the pinku posts. You can write your own entry by using the reader pulp interface below the kimono lady. And as long we're explaining things, we were asked why the vintage advertising is the same day after day. It isn’t. Our server changes them, but you have to have cookies enabled on your computer, in which case you see a different vintage advertisement each time you visit, 300 separate times. Also we have that search box. So explore while we’re away. We’ll be right back.
