Jay Can Do It
As the YouTube commentator says--and I paraphrase--"What the hell was the point of this film?!?"
Let's look at Jay, the hero.
1) Likes to bake.
2) Can't use a hammer.
3) Owns a poodle.
4) Sets up housekeeping with a fellow male.
5) Admires a man in uniform.
6) "Jay is musical."
7) Carries a pocketbook-style basket.
It's an early gay-pride PSA!

Shameless Plug
Those of you who are familiar with my posts know that I love everything from the mid 20th century. A while ago I started a series of science-fiction Americana drawings, like Norman Rockwell but with robots and aliens. I just set up a website for these pictures, The Saturday Evening Weblog. Right now I have 30 or 40 drawings and will be posting one every day until I run out, and after that I will post them as I draw them (usually a few per week). Anyone who likes retro-futurism or science fiction should check it out.
