David Heatley is a cartoonist and (apparently) musician. I Need Some Intervention, a short documentary by our friend Luca Dipierro, provides a glimpse into the mind of an artist whose comics—often detailing entries from his dream journal—can be insightful, personal, and disturbing.

Parts 2 and 3 of the documentary are after the jump.

Chicago music luminaries Robbie Fulks, Califone, Sally Timms, the Waco Brothers and others are playing “A Big Brain Benefit” at 7 p.m. Sunday, November 9 at the School of the Art Institute Ballroom, 112 S.

Jim Domen, the Ted Haggard-looking guy in the middle, celebrates returns for Proposition 8.
When asked his opinion on the passing of the ban, Domen said “The thought of two men having sex is sick and gross. It’s just disgusting. There’s the hairiness, and the anus, it’s just—it just makes me shudder. I probably wouldn’t support a ban on lesbian marriage, but since it’s all or nothing, I have to be a staunch supporter.”
The AV Club interviews Daily Show correspondent Samantha Bee and Sam Adams describes his experiences at Sawfest, where moviegoers watch all five ‘torture porn’ movies back-to-back.
