We don't usually think of sports bets in the same sentence as art, but here's one based on the game tonight (Monday) between the 49ers and the Steelers. Andrew Farago, curator of San Francisco's Cartoon Art Museum, has issued a challenge to Joe Wos, director of Pittsburgh's ToonSeum: The losing team's fan must show up at the winner's museum to lead a workshop on cartooning -- clad in the opposing team's jersey.

SUSIE CAGLE VIA CARTOON MOVEMENT

Reporting on the Occupy movement is a frustrating task, one that has been especially difficult for Susie Cagle. As a graphic journalist, Cagle covers Occupy Oakland with her signature blend of writing and cartooning. While her cartoons make her reporting stand out, they've also led to questions about her credibility. Since the movement began, she's been arrested, teargassed, and struggled to obtain a press pass from the Oakland Police Department. Despite that, she has continued to draw and write about Occupy. Cagle chatted with us about the future of the movement, the definition of journalism, and her work.

  • Han (Matthew Moy, left) and Oleg (Jonathan Kite, second from left) talk to Max (Kat Dennings, left to right in booth), Earl (Garrett Morris) and Caroline (Beth Behrs).

The surprising CBS hit (surprising because it sucks) 2 Broke Girls has a lot of sex jokes. The show makes fun of Brooklyn hipsters and rich people and is ultimately about cupcakes. It was filmed in 1982.

Players:

Max (hipster who makes cupcakes; thinks she's not a hipster.)

Caroline (Max's coltish roommate; might also be Nicky Hilton.)

Earl (elderly black DJ/cashier from What's Happening! community center; under contract for seven one-liners through 2012.)

Oleg (greasy cook fluent in sexytime jokes; formerly of Mel's Diner.)

Han (Korean restaurant owner; facilitates show's racism.)

Episode 12: "And the Pop-Up Sale"

"The big spenders at table two want to split their $11 check three ways, even though one person did all the eating."

"I was in a three-way once. Same thing happened."

(BOOM. Earl. Sick.)

"There's only one tool that can change my 'tude, and I'm going to need two double A batteries and a 20-minute break."

(My cat just looked at me.)

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
