Hey Oscar Wilde!

A spot to archive nerd images of interest from out of print/hard to find art books, magazines, comics and other assorted ephemera laying about as well as detours into other things found about the web. I really do try my due diligence to make sure none of these things have been seen online before with the scanned images or at least new to Tumblr with the web stuff to make it worth everyone's while and to have fresh content but, y'know, I'm not perfect and I'm not going to lose sleep over it.

Some of the pieces from the 'Hey Oscar Wilde! It's Clobberin' Time!!!' literary art collection (link above) may make it over here from time to time as well. Or not.

Much randomness ahead...

“You must tell the truth about a subject to a child as well as you are able without any mitigating of that truth. You must allow that children are small, courageous people who deal every day with a multitude of problems, just as adults do, and that they are unprepared for most things. What they yearn for most is a bit of truth somewhere.” - Maurice Sendak preliminary drawing of Max from Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak circa 1963 :: scanned from The Art of Maurice Sendak :: Abrams Books :: 2003
