walkwhilereading: This is the only official illustration of Holden Caulfield, printed in Collier Magazine in the 1945 Christmas Issue. Apparently JD Salinger had started writing what would end up being The Catcher in the Rye some 10 years before the books official publication. [via]

OK, maybe you knew this already knew this, but somebody is making a movie about Ed Emberly. With this and Where the Wild Things Are, I’m starting to think my childhood is becoming a gold mine for film ideas (note that I didn’t say good film ideas). I guess I’d better hurry up and buy the movie rights for Kid Pix before it’s too late! I already know how it will end.

The proud owner of a new single-family residence in Switzerland shows off his shelter. He is standing in front of his Andair-manufactured air filtration system with the escape hatch on the right. Richard Ross’s Waiting for The End of The World — an visual index of homemade bomb shelters. “Some of these people thought they were going to be the new inhabitants of the Garden of Eden. I can’t believe that. But when you think back to the illogic of the Bush/Cheney administration, and the world around you is so devolved, the idea of going underground doesn’t seem so crazy.” (via GOOD)
