Sources of Inspiration: Double Meanings

Double meanings can make for hilarious story. I remember in one of my favorite movies, the boy next door met the vampire next door. The boy had done all he could to keep the vampire out of his house, only to find his mother had invited that vampire over for a drink. One of the most hilarious scenes I’d ever beheld, yet filled with menace and genuine fear on the part of the boy unfolded, when the vampire with great charm said he’d never come over if not invited, however, he would now be dropping over whenever he wished.  Can … Read more

Jeff Baker, Boogieman In Lavender: Catweazle: “Everything Works!” (July, 2026)

Book, Television - Deposit Photos

Catweazle—Everything Works! by Jeff Baker “Nothing works!” Catweazle, in frustration. (Said often.) It was an obscure British children’s TV show from over half-a-century ago. It was intended apparently to be more educational, but like its titular title character, that’s not how it turned out. Given British television’s habit of recording new shows over tapes of the old (there’s a frantic search on for early “Dr. Who” episodes!) the show, like it’s wizardly character, was believed vanished and lost but showed up intact, having been filmed. And one of its actors gives the show a tenuous Gay connection. “Catweazle,” the series … Read more
