Watching Only Connect and the first two clues were:
W: Andy Williams
O: Alice Cooper, in honour of Groucho Marx
And the chap with the Rainbow tattoo got it! They paid for the reconstruction of those letters of the Hollywood sign.
I know the sign fell badly into disrepair but I’d never thought about who paid for them. The full list (at a cost of just under $28,000 each) is:
H: Terrence Donnelly (publisher of the Hollywood Independent Newspaper)
O: Giovanni Mazza (Italian movie producer)
L: Les Kelley (originator of the Kelley Blue Book)
L: Gene Autry (actor)
Y: Hugh Hefner (founder of Playboy magazine)
W: Andy Williams (singer)
O: Warner Bros. Records
O: Alice Cooper (singer), who donated in memory of close friend and comedian Groucho Marx, and who joked that he would also donate an “O” from his last name
D: Dennis Lidtke (businessman)
If you haven’t heard of Broodhollow you should probably clear the rest of your day. Broodhollow is “a cosmic horror adventure comic set in the 1930s, done in the style of comics from that era” by Kris Straub (if you don’t know Kris Straub instantly check out chainsawsuit).
I lapped up the first chapter of Broodhollow (Curious Little Thing) but I’ve been saving Angleworm for a special treat on a cold winter’s evening in front of the fire. And that time is almost upon is.
The Kickstarter for physical copies of Broodhollow Vol 2 (Angleworm) is up and well worth your money. Not sure if you want to spend any money? Don’t worry, you can read the whole thing, right now, for free. The Kickstarter isn’t to fund the writing of the strip, the whole thing exists and you can read it right now. First page to the last.
And if you’re still not convinced it’s worth a look tell me Cadavre isn’t just the best.

Well, hello there…
Today’s top search term for my site:
In this piece I gave hermit crabs shelters that I had made for them, and if they liked my shelters, they made their shells in them.
