Arpad Okay reviews Quino's MAFALDA VOL. 1, but in the form of a comic (about a comic). Graphic criticism? Oh, brother.

Worf is looking cautiously/suspiciously at Riker. Riker has raised brow and a cheeky grin. Thier eye contact is strong as steel. Closed caption reads, "It's jazz."

That’s her, right?
An ad, presumably from the early 80s for a Hitachi video system. It features a gamine looking model wearing a belted yellow jumpsuit with fluffy auburn 80s wedge cut hair. She’s seen in profile holding a camera and she’s got some kind of a VCR strapped to her shoulder. The model, her outfit, and camera all bear a remarkable resemblance to the character design for April O’Neil from the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon.
