Was watching Canada A.M. this morning (why? who the hell knows) and had the great joy to see that vaccuous and annoying Leah McLaren espousing her intellectual views on Bridget Jones. After cleaning up the vomit from the living room floor, I remembered that I had recently drawn a Mixed-Up Media 'toon of this blonde bimbo. Personally, I think I was too nice.
A silly new feature. Mixed-Up Media will be an opportunity for me to poke fun at well-known literary/artistic/media types who sometimes take themselves a little too seriously. I'll probably be picking on a lot of Canadian media-whores, so apologies in advance to any folks in the U.S. who read this blog, and have no idea who I am talking about.
For those who haven't heard of him, Russell Smith has written four novels and a collection of short stories, and is a columnist for the Globe and Mail, writing about art and media and men's fashion. He is Toronto's resident aging intellectual dandy.
